In 1959, Armalite, Incorporated of Costa Mesa, California, introduced the AR-7 Explorer, and this little semi-auto carbine instantly became popular with backpackers, fishermen, pilots, and everyone who might eventually be faced with a survival situation. The barrel, receiver, and magazine can be stowed inside the hollow plastic stock, and with the rubber buttplate/ cover in place, the whole thing will even float. From 1973 to 1990, the AR-7 was made by Charter Arms. Between 1990 and 1995, the AR-7 was produced by Survival Arms. An improved verstion has been made by Henry Repeating Arms since 1997.
