Charter Arms are they MA Compliant?

[pmb44]

I tried searching for this but either no one asked about it or my search ability sucks. But "the list" has the Charter 2000 Bulldog as legal in both finish's. But the company is now Charter Arms but the bulldogs model number is still the same. So should this still be legal? I assume it is since the model number is the same as the one on "the list" but i figured someone here could give me a definitive answer.

Find someone who will sell it to you and it shouldn't be a problem.

I spoke with Jim and Zero Hour and apparently there not on the "other list" because there not available for civilian sale.

They are not MA compliant. Shame. They're nice inexpensive but reliable little revolvers.

Thats what i thougth too, but everyone seems to be unsure if there not complaint because there not on the "secret list" like glocks or because there on the EOPS list as Charter 2000 and there now called Charter Arms. So i guess when the next list comes out if its changed to reflect the name change ill give it another shot

OK, as far as I know, the OLD company was called Charter Arms - the new company is Charter 2000. But I've never seen any of their guns for sale here in MA, and I didn't realize that they were on the EOPS list. Guess Herr Rielly didn't like them.

More likely that the company was already dead or dying and it never submitted the required test results.

Conspiracy theories are fun, but Occam's Razor rules.

I think that there were financial problems and that the new owners bought the carcass, but I'm not positive. It could well have happened that way.

Duplicate post to this one: Charter Arms in MA?

There were Charter Arms then they became Charter 2000 then they went bankrupt and now there back as Charter Arms. When they were still Charter 2000 they were MA legal, because my buddy bought one, but now that there Charter Arms there not MA compliant. So who knows, all I know is I can't buy a new one

Interstate Arms is a Distributor, NOT a dealer. They won't sell any firearms to anyone in MA or elsewhere . . . only 01 (or equivalent) FFLs. Most of what they sell is targeted to the LE agencies and can't be sold to any citizen in MA.

I think "Instructional" may be AG Guns training division. The name and address sound familiar to me, but I'm not 100% positive.
