Quite possible. The AR-7 saga looks something like this, as I remember it......<br><br>Started under Armalite before they folded. Then to Charter Arms. Then to Charter Arms after a year without there being such a company. Then the second Charter Arms got new management, mostly the management from the first company by that name. Then to (IIRC) Hunter for the current production.<br><br>The second Charter Arms company had quality control issues under the initial management. Problem with finding out when a CA AR-7s were made is fun, becuase there is no quick-and-dirty way of telling- same makers' marks, and the serials picked up where the previous incarnation of CA left off. <br><br>
