AR-7's are crap, pure and simple. you might be able to find a good one but it isn't likely. they don't feed many types of ammunition reliably, aren't inherintly reliable by design, inaccurate, and i find the grip to be uncomfortable. as stated, you'd be better off with a good 22pistol, i prefer the buckmark (but carry an extra recoil spring assembly cause i had one pop apart once), or even a marlin papoose, or M6 scout. + virtually all of the youth model single shot bolt action 22's that i've seen at the range can be broken down and are very accurate. Sorry to rain on your parade though!
