I bought a 1965 Charter Arms Undercover last spring. It is identical to the piece my father carried for the US Post Office in Corvallis, Oregon before he passed away.
I miss that man.
Gentlemen:
The old "M16 made by Mattel" canard/myth came from a Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In sketch. A few of the Laugh-In Players portrayed men in US Infantry uniforms acted like their rifles were jamming. One actor blurted out "My M16 was made by... Mattel?"
I remember watching it on KVAL-TV...
The original frames had become warped, and the bridge had been fatigued. Thank God, I made it to the Optical Department at the VA Hospital
Great people.
