SPAS 12 Shotgun

[Endless]

Unless you are planning on using it as a hammer I don't see how they just spontaneously break. Most people who say they are not good guns probably never had one to begin with. And if a part breaks I bet you can buy one or have one made. What is there to break on it? the most is the firing pin hammer maybe the trigger or ejector. i had my Mossberg 500 for 15-16 years and its NEVER broken any parts. The spring finally got weak and I replaced it but I keep it loaded 99% of the time.
I always wanted a M14/M1 so i bought one. I had one when I was young and like a idiot got rid of it in the 2000 AWB when nobody nkew their azz from peanut butter. I recently bought another one. if you really always wanted one then go buy it. hell its not liek you are gonna have 9 lives. last I checked you only get one shot to play the game called life

Thanks Rob, thats what I needed to hear. Now here is another question. My FN FS2000 for the new Spas 12? Worth it?

Between the SPAS12 & the Franchi Law 12. I pick the Franchi Law12.
I bought the Franchi and is much better than the heavy Terminator SPAS12.

Both were around $600.00 in the 80's.

why has the spas 12 been banned for 20 years?

why has the spas 12 been banned for 20 years?

because it was evil looking and got listed in the first AW ban.

My brother inlaw had one in the 80's this thing jammed all the time, quite heavy but looked cool when he would shoot it,The last time we shot this thing was at Ramona,CA Blacks canyon the good old days...

Some guys had one at spenceville a couple weeks ago - def not military so how they got it, or if it was even legal I do not know. I did not bother to ask them either.
they spent about 30 minutes trying to get it to work, would not cycle - not sure what the issue was but they eventually got it fixed...
about every 3rd or 4th shot it would not cycle again and they would all be scratching their heads

I'd get a Benelli M4, but I do like the SPAS-12 so there you have it! I would be as confused as you are right now if ever given the chance to buy one.

[Saigon1965]

Why would they have to be mil to own it or be legal?

Thanks Rob...This isnt the one but it looks so sweet...

Bought mine in 1987 for $475.00. Not surprised they are running that much today.

It is cool to look at, but it is too bulky and too heavy for what it does. A Benelli M3 has the semi/pump functionality and is several pounds lighter.

[Rob454]

yeah thats pretty cool looking. I always liked SPAS 12s Not enough to want one. ijust thought they were cool guns.

Good call mate. Can't wait for the "next" life to do stuff you want to do.
