Thanks for visiting our
web page. This page contains a couple of our listings in the #3 US Made
Revolver, Charter Arms. Most of our firearms are listed on
Guns
America with a few on Auction
Arms
and a few more on Gun
Broker. Our most comprehensive listings, and most of our new arrivals, are
on Guns
America. You don't have to join to view our listings, but it's easy to
enroll. In the current political climate,
prices are subject to change without notice.
We not only sell, we buy and trade. We’re pretty strong buyers on many of the items similar to the ones on this page. While we’re not interested in black plastic guns like Glocks or PT-24 Tauruses, we’re very interested in pre-2000 manufacture bright blue, nickel, or stainless traditional firearms with wood grips or stocks. For those among our shoppers who might offer to trade with us or sell with us, please bear in mind that it costs us about $50.00 to process a firearm, from the time we receive it until it’s a finished listing on our web page or in our store.
Thanks for looking over our inventory, and for those among our shoppers who have done business with us in the past. We use NRA grading terminology and percentages of the original finish remaining on the firearm in our descriptions. While firearm grading is subjective like coin grading, we have tried to give ample closeup photos of the firearms and tried to describe any detracting features of each firearm in such a way as seller and buyer can be as clear as possible on the merchandise’s condition. We include specific citations to Fjiestad’s Blue Book of Gun Values, published annually by Krause Publications.
Format is our stock number & heading – then photos – then description and price on each item. Serial numbers are deliberately smudged.
Note that we only charge $15.00 Shipping for handguns to the lower 47 States, $20 to AK, CA & HI. Add-ons in same order only $7.50 per handgun, insured, USPS Priority Mail. $25 flat for long guns lower 47.
Discount schedule: 2% discount for payment with USPS Money Orders. This does not necessarily apply to items bought on other venues, such as Guns America, Gun Broker, or Auction Arms.

Charter .38 +P Police Bulldog Stainless 4 in 6 Shot Lwt
Weighing in at only 21.5 ounces, this Charter Arms Police Bulldog exhibits a striking similarity to the long-discontinued Smith & Wesson Model 12, and one we have at press time weighs one ounce less than its Charter descendant. The Charter’s frame is slightly smaller. The chief advantage of the Charter against the S&W Model 12 is that a Charter Bulldog’s owner can feed it a diet of +P .38 Special without fear of damaging it. The Charter’s main frame, the cylinder housing part of the frame is high grade stainless steel. The Charter’s lightness comes from its pencil barrel configuration and mainly from its alloy grip frame. Many customers are ill advised in choosing two inch barrel revolvers; after all, a person has to hit something he shoots at. We have the good fortune to acquire four of these fine revolvers at press time from a distributor liquidation. Fired brass in the photo specimen is dated from 2007. Own one for only $ 319.95
HGCHA32
Charter Arms Undercoverette .32 H&R Mag NIB
While we severely limit the new guns that we stock, we think this one is worthy, both in its quality and in the efficiency of the caliber for a defensive weapon. The only component we restrain ourselves from commenting on is that [uuuuggglllyyy] front sight. One item that renders Charter Arms a good value in our book is their performance for us over the past 40 years, few problems, less than a 3% return ratio. Another plus is their relative lightness versus a steel frame Smith & Wesson; the entire grip frame has always been lightweight alloy on Charters, but the crucial pressure-bearing area of the frame is solid American steel. This Charter Undercoverette snub in .32 H&R Magnum Caliber is the conventional 6-shot configuration with 2 inch full shroud barrel. Grips are stock factory Sile manufacture, but the little revolver will accommodate the more concealable Uncle Mike’s Boot Grip or Hogue Bantam. Factory specs are as follows:

Sales policy: We accept Mastercard or Visa
on a phone- or fax-in basis; and USPS Money Orders for immediate shipment.
Personal checks, company checks, and in some instances Cashier’s Checks may
involve a delay of no more than 8 business days for clearance. We offer a 7 day
return privilege, lay-aways and NIB guns excluded. We offer 90 day lay-away
with 20 percent down, balance in 90 days, but will levy a 6% per month service
charge on the unpaid balance if the lay-away runs past 90 days. We accept
trade-ins at agreed-upon prices, delivered to us. We cannot be responsible for
the freight on returns unless we have made some sort of glaring mistake.
Walk-in customers from Tennessee may buy
firearms of any type we have. Tennessee Sales Tax is 9 ¾%, and there is a $10
TBI Tennessee Instant Check Fee on all firearms purchases. Customers from many
other states may buy long guns, but that depends on your state's laws. Buyers
from Connecticut, Florida, Texas, or California, for example, cannot walk in to
our store and buy a firearm; buyers from Indiana, Montana, or Oklahama, for
example, can. They are subject to the same sales tax and TICS fees as Tennessee
Residents.
Shipping rates and information: We must
have a signed copy of the purchaser’s Federal Firearms License in order to ship
firearms interstate, and that licensee must check out with the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as a current, bona fide licensee.
Legible faxed and scanned copies are permissible. Individuals commonly use
Licensees to act as transfer agents. We always include a gun lock and a copy of
the Federal Youth Firearms Safety Act brochure with handguns, shipped or
over-the-counter; and we always furnish a copy of our FFL to the receiving
dealer.
First
handgun is $15.00, $7.50 each for add-ons, insured, USPS Priority Mail. $20 for
First Hand Gun to
First long gun is $25.00, $10.00 each for add-ons in one order.
Insurance is included. $35 for First Long Gun to Alaska, California, or Hawaii.
Interstate Shipments of Firearms can
go to Federally Licensed Dealers Only. Anyone who undertakes to purchase a
firearm must first of all be eligible to own one under State and Federal Law.
Disabilities from owning firearms include being under 21 for a handgun (or
pistol grip rifle or shotgun) or under 18 for a long gun; conviction,
indictment or information of a misdemeanor domestic violence or felony (it does
not matter if the person served jail time or not, the conviction or information
suffices); adjudication of a nervous disorder or disability; and non-citizenship
in the United States. If anyone who is not eligible to own a firearm attempts
to purchase one from us, we will assist law enforcement in that person’s
prosecution. If anyone attempts to aid and abet the acquisition of a firearm
from us for an ineligible person, we will assist in all involved parties’
prosecution. We have no intention of violating any laws. That is why we cannot
ship some firearms and/or magazines to jurisdictions that include
One of the most common and persistent violations of Federal Law is the straw purchase. Never attempt to buy a gun for someone else under any circumstances. Even spouses buying for each other is tricky. We will not accept third party payment for firearms purchases. If you want to buy someone a present, buy something besides a firearm.
If an unlicensed individual wishes to
purchase a firearm that we have advertised on a mail order, interstate basis,
he or she must do so legally through an FFL, a federally licensed dealer.
Dealers normally charge transfer fees. In our experience, the most readily
available transferors are Pawnbrokers and Gunsmiths. Please have transfer
logistics worked out before contacting us for a purchase. Thanks for your
interest. Law Enforcement officers may purchase a firearm through their
department only if it will be used on duty, and Department Letters and
paperwork from the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in the jurisdiction are
required.
