The company sent me a box 'o guns, and this Firing Line report is on the Police Undercover. It is back in business-has been for a while-and is making the same well-constructed low-cost revolvers it did before. When the company was not in operation, getting parts was impossible. What kept me from repairing them was the on-again, off-again existence of Charter Arms. Most any revolver would have quit if treated that way. They were rusted, lint-packed and the oil was congealed in them. The ones that came to me didn't work, and for the most part it was clear why: They'd been abused-dropped, filed-on abused. How? I changed the oil, washed it and did all the other normal maintenance things you do to a car.Īnd so it was with the Charter Arms revolvers I'd see as a gunsmith. "Then they die, Pat." Mine? I traded it off at the 135,000-mile mark, still working fine. A friend of mine owned a service station, and his experience was that Escorts lasted 60,000 miles. Excuse me, but who deliberately treats a firearm badly? A long time ago I owned a Ford Escort.
