Me no comprende this gun. If ar7, is the barrel just completely unscrewed and gone? So now there is no barrel just the chamber basically? Also if made from AR7 wouldn't this be an illegal sbr unless it was stamped?NO IDEA WHAT THIS IS

That has to be it, just the one in the pic is missing the barrel. Good find!Curious Relics #005: Charter Arms Explorer II - The AR7 Pistol!
In a window between ArmaLite and Henry was Charter Arms, who gave us the unique handgun known as the Charter Arms Explorer II.www.alloutdoor.com
Some AR7 receivers became the basis of a pistol made by Charter Arms. That weird wood grip seems to be theirs. View attachment 1063443
It is missing the barrel so it is not a firing firearm. You don't make an SBR by completely removing the barrel from a rifle as it cannot function that way. The AR-7 had a barrel with a barrel nut IIRC. Armalite also made a pistol from the same receiver, which I am guessing is what this is/was.Me no comprende this gun.

I was just about to say that they had managed to make it somehow more worthless but then I realized the floaty whiffle bat stock thingy is gone so it'd sink and that's probably a good thing....It is missing the barrel so it is not a firing firearm.

Yeah, a couple of people beat me to the explanation
Already stated, but Charter Arms AR-7 pistol.
1980 to 1986Already stated, but Charter Arms AR-7 pistol.
I think they made these in the early 70's, IIRC.
....NO ONE remembers these?....I'm old.
Notice the cartridge jammed nose up in the chamber.Confiscated in Seattle, Hi-Point 995 9mm carbine turned into a ghetto pistol.

I've seen some truly butt ugly guns over the decades, but that one may in fact have won the dubious aware of being the worst of the lot.Confiscated in Seattle, Hi-Point 995 9mm carbine turned into a ghetto pistol.

BUT! Here is some info that , well let's say a friend shared with me, an AR-7 receiver and full size barrel have an index point like an AR-15. A notch in the receiver to match up with a "tang" on the barrel. The AR-7 pistol barrel the index point is exactly 180* from the idex point for the rifle barrel. Some alterations maybe needed..............that is all.Curious Relics #005: Charter Arms Explorer II - The AR7 Pistol!
