Snake Charmer shotgun
« on: March 11, 2011, 06:58:58 PM »
Didn't HR/NEF make a shotgun called the Snake Charmer?
I just saw an ad from the EAA (European American Armory) offering a shotgun called the Snake Charmer II shotgun, and it suspiciously looks like the original HR/NEF offering. Did HR/NEF allow EAA to copy their product, or is this another foreign "clone"?

My quandary, I personally, don't think I have enough Handi's but, I know I have more Handi's than I really need or should have.

Looks closer to a Rossi clone than a H&R. It has the side lever safety. The H&R weren't actually called "snake charmers" They were the Tamer model. Although some guys generically called then that. Kurt

There used shotguns with survivor stocks that were called snake charmers.  There have been a few manufacturers of the gun in your link. Verney Carton was the last that I know of.

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun
