CHARTER ARMS AR-7 8RD MAGAZINE 22LR Reviews & Ratings

Original, blued steel magazine for proper fit and reliable function in Charter Arms, ArmaLite, and current-production Henry AR-7 Survival Rifles. No need to struggle with getting an old worn or damaged mag to work when you can get a brand-new replacement just like the one that came with your gun. Have plenty of spares on hand for backup and plinking.

SPECS: Steel, blued. Plastic follower, black. Fits AR-7 rifles manufactured by ArmaLite, Charter Arms, and Henry Repeating Arms.

AR-7 Magazine

The magazine fit perfectly into the mag well but would not lock into place. Upon closer examination, I found that there was a little piece of metal at the top of the mag lock/release hole that needed to be filed down to lock the magazine in place. Little by little, I filed down the metal at the top of the magazine lock hole until the magazine lock/release worked. It only took a few minutes of filing and checking the fit and function per magazine. Easy enough to fix. I will be going to the range soon to check the functionality of the magazines.

Good but..

It's about what you would expect from such a simple design. It works with my Henry survival rifle. I did have one fixable issue. The notch that locks the mag into the receiver was actually just a tiny bit low and wouldn't lock in. A bit of Dremel work and it's perfect. Idk if that's a difference in model or manufacturing issue but I got it working. Other then that, I noticed that it lacked a spring on the side that my stock mags have. NBD.

maybe you should buy from Henry

The Henry U.S. Survival rifle is similar but not exactly the same as the Charter Arms. These mags may fit a Henry rifle with some work with a file and a Dremel tool If you can't do that or don't want to, buy direct from henry for the new AR-& style guns. And Henry sells them 2/$40, so same same. Good luck out there with your odd, little AR-7. There's nothing else like it.
