This rifle was removed from the auction – sorry!
Bob Holloway designed the HAC-7 rifle to be the ultimate combat infantry rifle in 1984, drawing on his experiences in Vietnam and Rhodesia. It is a very interesting hybrid of AK, FAL, and other design elements, but it was not commercially successful. Only about 280 were made before the Holloway Arms Company dissolved in 1985. In that brief production, however, was one interesting variation – a batch of completely mirror-imaged left hand rifles and carbines. About 30 carbines and 20 rifles were made with lefty features – ejection port, charging handle, stock hinge, and bolt release all switched over (the magazine release and safety were ambidextrous on all rifles).
I made a video several years ago about the HAC-7 in general, and I recommend it for learning about the mechanical workings of the rifle. But this was the first time I’d seen a lefty model, and also the first time I’d seen an optic mounted on one (all the HAC-7s were drilled and tapped for scope rails). So, I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to show it to you!

At Forgotten Weapons I think the most interesting guns out there are the most obscure ones. I try to search out experimental and prototype weapons and show you how they work, in addition to more conventional guns that you may not have heard of before. You’re much more likely to find a video on the Cei Rigotti or Webley-Fosbery here than an AR or Glock. So, do you want to learn about something new today? Then stick around!
