Henery AR-7 Survival Rifle AR-15

Hiking Gear
The Henry Survival Rifle is a cool little rifle that is modeled after the famous U.S. Air Force AR-7. The compact and lightweight rifle is great for survival and can easily fit into any size back pack.
The Henry U.S. Survival rifle is extremely lightweight at only 2.5 pounds. It can be easily broken down into three pieces in a couple seconds, and all the pieces fit right inside the waterproof stock. Once broken down it is only 16 inches long.
While something like a 10/22 Ruger is a much better rifle, if your looking for a .22 that can easily fit into a backpack, this will defiantly do the job.

I really like a 22 for survival. You can carry thousands of rounds, take down game up to 50lbs easily (more if you are a good shot), and it makes little noise. I am not a big fan of this rifle however. A 10-22, Marlin 60 or 39A is so much better as a rifle and if size is what you are looking for, there are many quality accurate handguns that take up less space and weight. I would opt for a good auto like the Ruger or Browning Buckmark. A single action revolver with a magnum cylinder gives you the option for more power if needed and is very reliable. While a handgun is not quite as powerful or accurate as a rifle, a scope can be added to make shots more precise. In the case of the single action, add the magnum cylinder for a slight power advantage over a 22LR rifle.

Not really sure, I know you guys have some pretty strict laws up there, I think clips are limited to 5 rounds or something like that in rifles. The Ar-7 may be to small to comply with your laws but you might want to check out http://panda.com/canadaguns/

The AR-7 and variants, including Charter Arms etc, are legal in Canada – for now. If the socialist coalition takes over in January then it’s anyone’s guess. I would also look at picking up one of the inexpensive Norinco M-14s or SKSs, as well as one of their 1911s. You get a lot of bang for your buck – pun intended. If Canadian legal precedent holds true at least your guns will be grandfathered under any new law.
