An airsoft one of these?
Seems like a clever way of having a portable sniper, but on the other hand...

Why?

I like the way the article begins in hick speak:

"We've already showed you how to properly clean a rifle..."

My Dad's mate used to have something similar, before all the gun laws in the UK changed.

It was a .22 rim fire survival rifle. The sort of thing you might take hiking or white water rafting..... Bear Grylls should consider investing in one, tht bloke always seems to end up in the shit every time i see him on TV.

It now probably part of the structure of a building somewhere in China.

I think the closet in airsoft terms would be a KJW M700 takedown... Obviously it doesn't all fit in it's own stock and is still a hefty bit of kit to lug about, but if that is your poison, worth a consideration.

I thought exactly the same!

It's far from useless; in a survival situation in most climates .22 is a perfectly acceptable hunting cartridge for rabbits and birds, which are easily prepared and cooked. That's what the AR-7 was originally designed for; addition to emergency survival packs for pilots flying over remote areas (e.g. Alaska) where rescue might take some time. As to airsoft, I don't see why it couldn't be done, but you're right - there's not much point, because this gun's advantages are all in its packed configuration, whereas airsoft is 100% combat and the gun will spend all its time unpacked.

I'd be interested to see the WA one. I wonder if I could persuade HRA to sell me just the stock...

The owner of my local gun shop has one, great little rifle and just oozes 60's espionage.

It's a survival item. The whole design is for a hunting/small game package that is compact and water proof so it can live stowed in an emergency kit.

I can see its value in the real world. For airsoft? Waste of time.

This guy just got rid of everything.

He loved guns (and why wouldn't he?) so started to amass a pretty decent collection. It got to the point where they said tongue in cheek he could only have more if he were a gun club.

He was an adult instructor in the Army Cadets, so he started a club and charged the cadets 1p membership fee. He got more guns, bars on the windows, new safes etc etc. After the laws changed he just give it all up in one go. Keep in mind i was about 14, from memory he had:

.44 Magnum (it was a copy made under licence - Carrry Comp?)
.357 Magnum (it was a copy made under licence - Carrry Comp?)
9mm S&W of some description
.22 Walther PPK
CZ 75
.22 survival rifle
A multitude of shot guns (he was quite the toff, so the shotties ranged from sporting clay guns to very expensive collectables)

I am sure there was more, but these are the ones i remember as we had a day on a 10 meter range with them all (less the collectable shotguns).

14 years old firing a .357 in one hand and a .44 in the other... Wow - 10 meters from the target and i missed. I couldn't have hit the floor if i dropped the damn things! The .22 PPK was my favourite.
