Ok, I decided to disassemble my dads old AR-7 survival rifle, because it needed a good cleaning badly. Wellll, as I have no paperwork, and cant find an online guide, I got stuck in the middle it. Im "pretty" sure how to get the thing back together, but I've still to get the bolt out. The extending handle/arm (used to move action) on it, still needs to come off in order to remove bolt, and im not sure how.

If you an AR-7 expert, pleeease lemme know in full detail how to disassemble and reassemble one. If you know an online source thats tells how, lemme know.

I think you need to remove the ejecter first, It's been 15+ years since I've had one.

After a few hours of trial and many errors, I finally got that thing back together. Makes my AR15 assembly look like childs play. Hopefully the AR-7 will extract now that its been cleaned.

Glad I wasn't there.
Your neighbors AR-7 goes back together in about 30 seconds....(really?)
just be thankful that you are near enough
to see it happen! LOL
