- Please do not attempt to do my disassembly because it's not made for novices who can't figure out what I'm doing on or off camera also quite often due to the length I don't reassemble or include the FCG which is done separately.

This is about the most in-depth video I've seen on any subject. Hands down the best for video quality. Took me minutes to get through steps that take 2 hours on dark videos.
thanks... Glad it was helpful!
I love the videos it saved me from worrying about assembling it back wrong.
good to hear and thanks for watching.
Super helpful, thank you so much! Informative and efficient!
Fun fact is all the screws are designed to work with a dime. You can fit one quiet nicely in one of the orange stock slots.
It might interest you to know I found a good place to stow a dime too.
Inside the cap of the butt stock is an artifact of the plastic molding process circular in shape and even having a sort of a little ledge along its bottom. It's the perfect fit for a dime. I have secured the dime in place with a small patch of black Gorilla tape and I'm quite pleased with myself. 😁🖖🏼
The best video on this. Thank you.
ya very welcome.
Great video, very good detail where a novice can completely disassemble. super informative, made it really simple to do. Thankyou very much
Glad to hear. Usually my full Monty vids are quite complicated.
Finally! I've been trying to figure out how to reassemble this thing from other videos that show where everything goes, but don't actually show how to get the spring back in place. The floss trick really works!
Glad to hear.
So very informative and helpful. Thanks.
Thanks for watching
Good video, well presented. Enjoyed seeing the floss trick for getting the inner arm of the hammer spring in place. I have been doing this for years using an inner strand from parachute cord. You can also leave both arms of the hammer spring down so they are in the trigger guard. Then slide the trigger up between the arms until the arms are resting on the pin. Then continue sliding the trigger up until the trigger pin can be inserted through the trigger into the receiver. Always make sure the safety is off when reinstalling the trigger.
Thanks cam for sharing you experience with how to reinstall the hammer 🔨 spring.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Nice video!! Thank you
Glad you liked it!
This is a great video!! Wow 👏 best teacher, thank you 😊 🙏
You're very welcome!
Great video, will buy one asap.
Enjoy!
Have you ever tried polishing the trigger or the sear to decrease trigger pull?
why would you polish the ser if the trigger pull weight is only 3.5 lbs?

Just "polishing" the trigger assembly may not really decrease the trigger pull, but it will remove any gritty friction feel which will make it feel much smoother and maybe slightly lighter, but to lighten the trigger you need to remove some material and that can be very tricky to not take of too much. Remember, this is not a finely tuned target rifle or a tactical combat weapon... it's survival utility gun and you may not want a hair trigger especially if you're wearing gloves or carrying it through brush chasing a rabbit for food... good luck...
Just a note, I spent over 2 hours trying multiple times to keep the hammer for coming out of its because of spring tension. It would constantly come out of the hammer hole causing me to start over. I then tried putting the bolt, 2 bolt springs and the plastic follower in and tried again. 5 mins later I was finished with reassembly. The bolt helped to hold the hammer in place instead of flying out because of spring tension.
thanks altho i had no problem without the bolt in place.
@@gnutzguy I just couldn't keep the hammer springs from pushing out and away from the hole, esp. when I was setting the trigger in place. The minute I set the springs in with the trigger pin, the hammer would go flying out, leaving me to start over again and again. Glad you didn't have that problem. Your video did help me a great deal, Thanks for posting it.
I found that installing the bolt gives the hammer something to steady it, It keeps the spring from popping out. Theres a lot of spring tension and the tiny pin that holds it to the receiver isnt much. I too had many problems with it popping lose until I installed the bolt, springs and the plastic follower first.
I had to put the bolt assembly and recoil spring in before the FCG. The ejector and hammer were in the way. Did I do something wrong? Or do I have an older model?
Nope, do what's works for you. I just use a screw driver to cock the hammer before putting in the bolt.
Thanks I just got an older model and I’m gonna engrave it
engrave what?
@@gnutzguy the reviver
@@luhcawk and whatchu engraving? A name?
@@gnutzguy nope a duck
@@luhcawk cool. You can hit a duck 🦆? 🤣
Be sure to pull back the bolt before reattaching your barrel. Tighten the nut while pulling back the bolt. You are welcome.
lol. i dont bcos there isnt much strength in the recoil spring.
we cant have any gun in china ,but i want to make ar7 by myself ,i dont konw if i will success ,i think its too hard
maybe you should make this first then make the ar7. th-cam.com/video/1lEcGyDbaiY/w-d-xo.html
Get a 3d printer first. There's a dozen or so guns that can be mostly printed with a barrel and bolt being the only metal parts. The ar7 would be one of the easier guns to make from scratch at home, but it'd take a lot of effort. Print a receiver and use lost-PLA casting to recreate it in aluminum, use a pipe for the barrel and use a router or drill press for the chamber and electrochemical machining for rifling. Except the bolt the rest can be made with sheet metal, a belt sander, and a file. Would need to find exact dimensions online somewhere I'm sure they're available. Good luck!! And take your freedom whether they allow it or not!!
Hi I have a question about the type 81 front post sight do you know if they are the same as the AK??
Hey, this is a ar7 vid but I will answer it. I believe they are the same width and pitch , except for the yugo.
@@gnutzguy thanks by the way did you know pietta is thinking of making a 22lr mini sterling??
Great video!!
Where can I buy parts my friend took the rifle apart and lost the trigger 😢 thank you.
best bet to contact the manufacturer for that info, they will steer you to the right dealer in your region.
Got a new trigger from US Henrry Company free of charge, great people.
@@robletto841henry is awesome 🇺🇲 made in America, or not at all!
To querendo comprar a coronha desse rifre onde eu consigo?

Ya know,
This video would be far more helpful if we didn’t have to view everything in the process upside down.
Please read the disclaimer... Thanks
@@gnutzguy no thanks. I'll just take my "novice" self elsewhere.
@@gnutzguysorry about that. I restore antique firearms, and just doing this for a friend, and frustrated to say the least.
(I never want to see this hunk of crap again🤬)
wow!!! you dont know frustration till you worked on a GSG-16. i actually love this gun, its very accurate. the plastic recoil springs guide broke while i was firing. getting spare parts to canada is ridiculous so i made one out of brass, easy peesy, lol.
@@gnutzguy I thought the 1916 Winchester 1894 I did with the cartridge guide screw heads on the inside of the receiver was a pain!
I remember I had one of these survival things as a kid in the 70s, and it never worked either.
Thank the Lord this thing is fixed.
Dude... you're talking to adults like we are 7 years old... WTF...
dude, you're the first and only one to say that in 20,000 views so its just you or you're a kid.
you can buy the 22 ar-7 explorer firing pin rifle stratford.conn
