![]() ![]() If you have any information to contribute, I would appreciate it as well as the rest of my readership. I would want to include things such as serial number and location, stock type, roll mark on receiver and the roll mark on the barrel. I don’t see any reason that we can’t put together our own database of serial numbers with the features they include. Swirled stock models started with serial 70,000 ![]() Some stuff I ran across on the net (unverified) īrown stock models started with serial 50,000 ArmaLite AR-7 ArmaLite AR-7 Explorer Charter Arms AR-7 Explorer Charter Arms Explorer II Pistol Israeli Pilots Survival Rifle Henry U.S. I’m not sure if ArmaLite made the stocks in black before selling to Charter Arms in 1973. The second versions had swirled, multi colored stocks like mine. The earliest models had serial numbers that were covered up when the stock was installed. The first models had brown stocks and butt pads. ![]() How cool would it be if this thing was made in my birth year, 1965. The brown stocks are the scarcest and they bring the higher amounts. They will currently sell in the 250 to 400 range. A little research reveals that only was true from 1962 to 1967. All of the ArmaLite-made AR-7s are now collectible. The closest I have been able to come is the parts list indicates that California residents have to pay 4% sales tax. I’m trying to find out when it was made and there is no database of serial numbers like others may have. I took a few pictures and I am reaching out to you, my readers to help me fill in the blanks. That’s exactly what led me to start this sight. Just like when I got my first AR-180, I find there is not much info to be had. What is the value of these two guns today? Thanks.Just picked this little ArmaLite AR-7 up yesterday and like everything I buy, I have to immediately learn everything about it. The gun is still bagged in its original plastic bags and probably the parts have never been removed from the interior of the stock (obviously, the second magazine is loose in the box). LSB: 120906PW01 Make: Charter Arms Model: Explorer AR - 7 Serial Number: A207830 Year of Manufacture: Pre 1990 Caliber. It's in new, unfired condition, in the original box (good condition) with the original manual and paperwork, and two magazines. This gun was manufactured in Connecticut (?) apparently by Liberty Arms Co., and was purchased new in California in April, 1975. The second is a Charter Arms "Explorer," plain brown-colored plastic stock, serial # A23584. I probably fired about 300 rds through it between 19. The stock has numerous surface scratches, as does the receiver and the barrel, although the finish on the receiver and barrel is about 90% intact. The gun is in good condition, but was used until about 20 years ago, when I put it away. I have the original box (beat up), the original owners manual and two magazines. and purchased my me at a dealer in about 1969 or 1970. This gun was manufactured in Costa Mesa, CA. The first is an Armalite "Explorer," camoflauge-colored plastic stock, serial # 89141. ![]()
