Also on GT a couple of weeks back - I strongly suggest that you handle one before you buy. They are a classic "looks good" gun (to some) that fails to deliver in the real world, certainly on the Practical Shotgun circuit I have never seen one.
If you like that kind of look but are not absolutely set on a Spas, take a look at the Saiga and Verp shotguns http://www.rusmilitary.com/html/firearms_saiga12.htm from Russian guns. I believe the latest models have got over previous faults and are gaining more fans,

Franchi PA8 was a better pump gun

The "improved SPAS12", the SPAS15 was a little, er, strange too!!

Dangermouse is right. Don't see many on the PSG circuit.

Give one a test run if you can, don't whatever you do, break the law of course :lol:


One of my fellow students on the basic course had one. We christened him stoppage!

Whatever floats yer boat I suppose?

:cheers:

I fired them a few years ago and yes they are awkward !
I just want it to add to the collection, it will probably never be used that often
Saw the KWG spas on GT, they are a nightmare at answering emails. They are selling it for a third party, however £1000 is my top limit ! And I don't think they will come down to meet me !
There is another onGT for £725 but doesn't have the folding stock
I am aware of the legalities of the folding stock, but I would just like to have it as an accessory to keep it all original
Thanks for the help, keep your eyes open lads
Cheers

And VERY expensive! The mags are/were £120 a pop when I looked at one and that was 4 years ago!
