Before SKSs I was in love with .22s. I've also got a Browning T-bolt. a Daisy 2022, a Winchester T 75, and a Savage 24 in .22/.410.
An older shot with a couple other rifles and the AR7 on the bottom. They have a poor reputation with feeding issues, which is likely from folks using the mag as a rest. On mine, I put a strip of sticky backed Velcro on the bottom of the mag well, to keep slight up angle on the feed lips.
I had a short plastic forearm, that the barrel channel was the same profile as the AR7 barrel. I hogged out a chunk to allow for the lock nut & notched it to snuggly slide back on the receiver a little, then put Velcro on the barrel and in the forearm bed. I put another piece on the stock, just behind the wrist, so when you broke it down, you could stick the forearm to the stock, and stow the rifle as designed.
When assembled to shoot, the rifle is supported in a normal fashion. The set up works good, both mods helped to eliminate/minimize the jam-o-matic aspect. You can just make out the mods in this picture. I built it to throw in the flying machine, in case I had to make a forced landing in enemy territory, like an Israeli pilot might. {AX
