Holloway Arms HAC7, The Basics

[JoshNC]

Great info. Thank you again for posting this. Would you mind taking a few photos of the inside of the receiver? Any idea why the cover over the cam pin cutout is removable? Is it supposed to be a replaceable part in the event the cam pin wears it over time?

Thanks for sharing. It is always interesting to see designs of weapons that might have been forgotten.

Josh,

The cam pin cutout cover is not removable. It's actually riveted on. As mentioned above, unfortunately the covers do work loose after time. I've seen a number of these cover reinstalled, sometimes poorly or better then the factory install. If the rifle was made today, with modern manufacturing technics, a cover would not be needed.

I'll try to get pictures of the receiver later today.

Very cool ESK. Where were these rifles made and were they only offered in 308?

The rifles were introduced to the market in 1984, but then the company went belly up in 1985. Holloway Arms was located in the Ft. Worth, Texas area.

Thanks. I think I remember seeing ads for these rifles in mags back in the eighties. Very cool blast from the past.

ESK, thanks for sharing.

I wish more members would do stuff like this with unique and rare weapons.

I put off looking until I had time to really look it over. Thanks, that was interesting. I like these guns that show bits and pieces from different designs put together in a little different way, with twists of their own. Neat stuff.
