A call to Charter's CS resulted in a faxed shipping label and home it went.ġ0 days later it reappeared with a new barrel installed and the entire revolver so full of machining grit and shavings I could barely cycle the action. Inspection revealed a good sized wedge of the forcing cone broken away on the port side where the misalignment caused bullets to impact. Halfway through the second cylinder of lead-bulleted, factory-equivalent reloads, I noticed excessive blast and spitting from the barrel-cylinder gap. A range trip would ultimately tell the tale. Unfortunately, the lockup.and the alignment of the cylinder to the barrel.was such it did not inspire confidence. The action was smoother than I expected, a bit heavy, but lightened up and got even smoother with a modicum of tweaking. I finally, through impatience, bought a NIB current production stainless Bulldog Pug. 44 Bulldogs for many years, yet struggled to find one where the condition of those I found and the price I was willing to pay intersected.
