AR7 Rifle

Post by 8ace

I have just seen this for sale on endoshoji second hand section.

It's a western arms AR 7 rifle (i think it's PFC type), which is a little out of the ordinary.

WA AR7 early version had cap open detonator blowback system of MGC.
Late version had CP blowback system of MGC.
MGC tied up with WA in those days and gave license to use their patent blowback system.
PFC (Plug Fire cartridge) is patent blowback system of Marushin.

Hi MadMike,
I have a full size AR7, not only 1/6 size AR7.
I bought AR7 open detonator version when WA new released.
WA released CP version after 2 or 3 years.
I bought only detonator and cartridges for convert CP type.
But I left them for a long time, CP detonator became missing.

That's an interesting display there is that yours HIGUsan? I must say that the manikin of Desmond Llewelyn is an neat addition to the collection!

Rest in Peace Desmond Wilkinson Llewelyn..
