Silencer Saturday #443: An Extra-Unique AR7

Summary

This article showcases a custom-built, integrally suppressed .22 LR firearm based on a Charter Arms Explorer II pistol, a variant of the Armalite AR-7 survival rifle. The DIY build incorporates a 3D-printed stock adapter and folding arm brace, retaining the original takedown feature for compact storage. While very quiet with subsonic ammunition, the firearm experienced poor cycling reliability, effectively functioning as a straight-pull bolt action.
