I liked the AR-7 concept. A decent small .22 rifle broke down into pieces that fit into a waterproof stock. It was ideal for backpacking, canoeing, camping, that kind of thing. A pistol is great, but a rifle is far more useful in getting game, so the compact size and waterproof design was an innovation if you intend to hunt a rabbit or squirrel for supper along the way.

I wouldn't pay that price either.
I honestly do not know why I would ever need a take down. If it's a survival situation where I'm on foot, I'm taking a pistol. If I have a vehicle then there is no reason to worry about weight or space.
