WHY the obsession with UK parts stockists?

Obsession?

Most US ones whom I have contacted won't ship to the UK because of itar regulations.

Franchi are Italian.
Look for sources in Europe.....added advantage is ITAR doesn't apply & no import paperwork or import fees.

That I'm aware of.

Let me clarify, any part stockist who will ship to the UK will be welcomed.

Any suggestions from you saddler?

You missed mine Rich, despite the initial interest, finally exported to Denmark.

Sadly missed much like the Dragunov when I feel nostalgic.

Wonderful peice of engineering and so iconic

Why ... Despite the recall in the US it was not recalled in Europe, issue was not on all shotguns.

I found another US site who makes the receiver buffers : https://www.blackjackbuffers.com/

A quick email and it turns out they ship to Rimfire magic and have a few units going out in the next couple of days.

One worth remembering for any other SPAS 12 owners.

Less obsession more actually being able to find them given that internet searches don't do jonny foreigner speak well.

A sticky with European web addresses and a brief description of the types of thing they sell would be a good idea IMO.

Is this the Spas that was for sale at Sporting Supplies?
