Yep.
I have gone so far as to load some low loads in magnum brass
and fire them so as to avoid the ring around the chamber.
Look closely at the pictures.
You will see the ring from firing the too short specials.
The chambers are EXACTLY as those in most magnums.
I have no idea how that would have happened in a factory that does not make any 44 magnums.
I would return it if they paid for shipping.
I have done so already once as it came with so much excess headspace it would not fire.
It's a lemon and Charter's service sucks.
I cannot recommend anyone buying a new one.
I was considering contacting the BATF but I don't like them either.
