Snake-Charmer. Help!

Drm50 · December 22, 2014, 12:33 AM

Grandson had original Snake- Charmer given to him by a friend of mine. Bad
news trigger guard is broken. More bad news, trigger and break down is housed
in trigger guard. Trigger guard is plastic. I can't fix it. I spent $40 on plastic
trigger guard that won't work, from newer model. Anybody know where parts
for original can be gotten. All the "usual suspects" have been checked out. This
410 is the original Koon, make.

It would help if you told us who those "usual suspects" are.
Have you tried Bob's Gun Parts or Jack First?

If you're talking about a Rossi/Taurus I suggest you call them.

Tried Gun Parts Corp?

Looks like trigger guards are sold out.

Gun parts corp. is probably out of stock because they sold me one. The ones
they had are not for Koon gun, after they told me it was same. Not my 1 st
bad experiance with them but will be last.

H. Koon Co of Dallas made the original Snake Charmer.

Looks like broken trigger guards are pretty common on them these days.

I had an original for years. I made a little stock and forearm for it and my x wife used it to hunt squirrels. I never thought about the trigger guard breaking and had no idea it was such a problem. There are guys that make repro parts, and if they thought their was a market for them, they might tool up for you. I would contact someone like that.
