Any way to determine date of manufacture by serial #? How many were produced so far? Will they be. The only Charter Arms revolver I've ever owned was an older Undercover.38 special. It was a nice. From that number up to around s/n 1,900,000, the pieces will have a Stratford Conn barrel address. Jan 10, 2015. GT40DOC GT40DOC is offline. Senior Member. Join Date: Jan 2007. Location: Az.

Third generation were out of Ansonia, Conn (no longer Charter Arms but Charco).

I picked up this used, 3' Charter Arms Bulldog tonight from the local gunshop. I've been wanting to get a.44spl for a little while now and this is the first likeable one to cross my path since I've been looking. The finish is so polished that it looks like nickel-plating on the frame and barrel, but I'm pretty sure that it's stainless steel. The topstrap has a matte texture and the frame under the grip panels is unfinished enough to convince me that it is indeed stainless. I could be wrong though. It has happened before. I'm not well versed on Charter Arms' history or variations through the years.

I'm wondering about the approximate year this puppy was born. The SN# is 1045xxx. Tedak, I've owned a few Charter Arms Undercovers in 38 spl. Back in the 80's..Basically they're a 5 shot similar to the S&W 36..at least the Undercover was..The Bulldog was a bit more robust. I always considered them to be solid economical handguns..Very dependable, just not having the finer finish of a S&W. Charter Arms was located in Southport CT back in the early 80's..I'd heard they closed.

But then they reopened 7-8 years ago.I think thats right. Good little guns..I'd buy another if I saw one.

Nice grab Ted. I've been holding out for one of the original.44 Bulldogs, but haven't found one that combines the condition I desire with the $$ I'm willing to spend. There's seemingly not much available on the Charter dates of manufacture.not like Colt, S&W, or Ruger, but I did find this.

Around 1970, address was changed to STRATFORD CONN - all pieces made after mid 1970 will be marked with that address on the right side of the barrel and all will have CHARTER ARMS CORP. As the first line.

Around 1991, Charter Arms Corp. Ceased operations.

Around early 1992, the company was re-organized under new leadership and became known as Charter Arms Company - CHARCO, and was located in ANSONIA CONN. All second generation pieces will be marked on the right side of the barrel with that name and address in two lines. This is the SECOND generation and apparently the period which caused the most damage to the Charter name and reputation. In 2000, the company was again reorganized as CHARTER 2000 and relocated to SHELTON CONN.
