Get your hands on a piece of firearm history with the H. Koon INC Snake Charmer. This unique single-shot shotgun, manufactured in the United States, is renowned for its compact and durable design. Crafted primarily in the late 20th century, this gun has stood the test of time, maintaining a reputation for reliability and practicality despite the legal troubles that surrounded its manufacturer in the mid-80s.
This .410 gauge stainless steel shotgun is in very good condition, showing only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use. The barrel and receiver bear slight scratching and scuffing, and the bore shows minor wear marks. But don't be fooled by the light scuffing and residue from shotshells in its bore. This is a well-maintained shotgun, ready to deliver a reliable performance.
As a break-action shotgun, the Snake Charmer offers a simple yet robust mechanism that is easy to operate and maintain. It's a powerful tool for small game hunting and vermin control. With its single-shot firing capacity and compact size, the Snake Charmer is a quick-handling gun that can prove invaluable in a pinch.
Furthermore, the Snake Charmer boasts an all-weather stainless steel buttstock. This not only provides a sleek, timeless look, but also houses a hidden cache storage compartment—a handy feature for storing small necessary items. The Snake Charmer's plastic forend and thumbhole stock are tailored for comfortable handling, while its 18.2" barrel length and 8.6" length of pull ensure a balanced fit for most shooters.
Despite lacking sights, the Snake Charmer's design makes it highly effective at close range, particularly against small pests and, as the name suggests, snakes. Its simplicity and modest recoil make it an excellent choice for novice shooters looking to learn firearm handling and safety. Collectors and enthusiasts will appreciate the Snake Charmer's unique place in firearm history and its reputation for reliability. Don't miss this chance to add a unique piece to your collection or to start your shooting journey with a reliable and historic firearm.
