- CHARTER ARMS UNDERCOVER 38 SPECIAL MANUAL MANUAL
The Undercover Lite Earthborn has one of the most subdued finishes of any of the Undercover Lite revolvers. Back To Earth The barrel, trigger and cylinder contrast nicely with the earth tone frame for a stylish yet functional look. The advantage of the DAN system is that it’s possible to achieve a high level of quality control when it comes to the finish no matter how small or large the part is. This feature is usually found on more expensive revolvers, as is the Undercover’s fully shrouded ejector rod.įinally, Charter Arms states that it’s the only firearms manufacturer that polishes its products using DAN robotic work cells. In addition, the cylinder locks in three places instead of the usual two, which, through time, helps prevent wear and excessive cylinder endshake between the cylinder and frame. Another unique feature is the eight-groove rifling, which Charter Arms says gives the bullet a higher velocity and a flatter trajectory. Not having a side plate adds strength to the frame. There is no side plate that must be removed to clean, lubricate or repair the lockwork. Undercover Lite revolvers also have some features not found on many other wheelguns.

Well OK, so I should have read the manual. So is it a Undercover or a Undercoverette ? And when was it made ?

The barrel is about 1 1/4 inches long so I'm guessing it's the 2 inch barrel model I have been reading about on the web. Trigger guard and handle frame look like there aluminum. It's a nice old gun, looks like it's well made. I see some on the web going for $300 in good condition, this one looks like new. Price sticker says "List Price 173.00", "Our Price 164.95".

The box is a generic Charter Arms box with a sticker on one flap with "Charter 2 38 SPL" and the serial number printed on it. I'm guessing she and my father both shot 5 rounds when they bought it at a local gunshop (I know that shop had a range). There was also a box of bullets with 10 missing. I found it in it's original box (with wax paper) wrapped in newspaper. This was my mothers gun and I'm guessing she bought it in the mid 70's.

The back page has a picture of a "Undercoverette" and it looks exactly the same.

As you can see in the scans the manual says "Undercover" and shows an exact image of the gun I have. Not sure if this is a Undercover or a Undercoverette.
