Don't know exactly what it is yet but a coworker is bringing me a Charter revolver to play with tomorrow. Word is the action is very rough. Any of you guys have words of wisdom to share?

I have an older Bulldog and a newer model. If its a newer model I would send it to Charter and let them work on it. They do a good job fixing problems and its on their dime. If its an older model they will work on it but its on your dime. Their customer service is outstanding and turn around time is fast! I can tell you how I know but I don't feel like typing that much. JMO of course.

Have a lot of patience, they can be a royal pain to work on. I wouldn't do another one if it belonged to me. They can be made to be very smooth. I have an old 44 that I cut the barrel to 2" and slicked it up. Love the gun.

I'm thinking I'd get some snap caps & DA it for awhile & see what happens.
The Bulldog I've shot was pretty accurate, but not the smoothest gun I've shot.
I'm not a smith so I don't dig into the internals except to clean.

Then I bought one locally for a song and dance, and what do you think I did? Tore it down and smoothed it up. Actually the second time wasn't near as bad as the first. If it is an old Bulldog just be very aware of the trigger spring. In my experience, the most difficult part of the job was getting it back in. |
