I held one about 15 years ago and will never forget it!

GF gave me my SPAS in 1992...best birthday gift ever! Still have it... (the fun, not her!)😀

now you too can be a clever girl!

Here's a quick guide on some tips for those looking for their own SPAS 12

I remember watching this video when I wasn’t even able to buy a SPAS. Hell I was trying desperately to find a way to get the spas look with a cheap mossberg. Now I’ve had SPAS for over a year and have used your videos to get me where I am with it. In many ways you’re a hero to my younger self. Thanks!

I've heard that the lever style safety was a bit of a danger zone but even though I know it could cause an unintended discharge, it's still a scary thing to see even though you meant to do it.

I remember when you first opened up the spas 12 project website do you help me out a lot with finding the right spaz 12 and then I bought some parts off of you! I think it's time to do that safety lever conversion :)

Why cant these just be put back into production 😭

I bought mine back in 1989 at a gun store up in North Hollywood CA

Thank you for this video, and all you do for the SPAS12. I myself have bought those plastic and rubber parts from you. While there are many nice comments here, many forget that the SPAS12 is 1970s technology. Imagine if the AR15’s gas system never got tweaked or improved upon since the 70s. The people who are trashing on the SPAS12 seem to know no difference between a dial landline phone to a cell phone. They would complain that a 1970s automobile would have problems making a cross country trip today as opposed to a new car. Hell, how about complaining that the 1972 Dolphins roster could no longer beat a current NFL team with young talent. Sheesh!

Great video thank you. I have been looking for one for a while now and now will be prepared when or if I ever see one.

Just hearing that the SPAS-12 project can convert level safety's to crossbolts has given me more hope to own a safe working gun then I have had in years. Funny story I found a post recall SPAS-12 in new in box a few years ago for only $800 in Norman, Oklahoma 3 days later Norman got hit a by a tornado and the seller never replied again.

After attempting to deal with the notorious OTHER Chris (and getting nothing for the $ sent), you definitely made my day when your site came up in 2013. I got all needed replacement parts, and safety conversion. It was much needed, in a market that is small, and was always a pleasure to deal with you. I thank you, sir.

Make sure you drink speed cola to reload quicker. He didn’t mention that, but I feel it’s an important step.

Right now I'm cleaning one to put it up for sale; Your video is very good and informative!

another great video dude!

This is awesome! I watched your video with 100,000 views not realizing it was you cousin! It was surreal, knowing how professional and instructional the video is. Good job man! I will definitely want your knowledge when purchasing or finding one, or if you have one for sale?

Very comprehensive instruction, Thanks.

very informative video. professionally done

I found this one on my own. One of my cop friends let me shoot his. I got hooked instantly. This is an amazing shotgun. I shot one in the 90s and wanted one ever since

Great video!! Thanks for all the information!!!

Works well on raptors

My boi in the background at 0:37 is running like he’s escaping a slaughter house.

Very, very cool video. Thank you.

Thanks for the Info, Appreciate it the vid💯

Great video. THANK YOU!!!

I’m glade I found you I’ve got one that needs to be gone through

Always wanted an 18 inch spas, shame they're so rare.

I love this little spas. It makes me spasm when I fire the spas.

Great video.

Nicely done.

Great video, Liked & Subscribed!

Nothing beats the pump action mode

Wish my father kept his SPAS12. He traded a motorcycle to get it. It was the version with the lever safety and had the sling, multi-tool and manual. He sold it because a local dealer lied to him(this was back in the early 00s) and told him it was a destructive device.

Nice video bud!!!!!

Thank you, now I know how to buy a SPAS 12

About a year ago I passed on an auction for 2,200 cause i wanted to see if I could get a different auction for under 2. Well that one went for over 3 and the one I passed on closed without a bider. Went back up and sold for 3,500. Now I can only rarely find them and they’re going for close to 5. I am an idiot

very helpful

Your channel feels like the King of Random but for the big kids👍

تبرك الله على هذا الفيديو ديالك راه غزال أوراه فلموستوا كنشكروك🤝🐍🐍

cool vid!

I have no issues with the pump action. It as smooth as my mosseberg pump action shotgun.

I bought one of these boat anchors back in the 80's for 400 hundred bucks. I sold it about 10 years ago for 650 and felt real lucky to get that much. Recently I was at a gun show and a guy had a well used one for sale for 1800 bucks! I couldn't believe it. I always thought the balance was awful because the rear end was too light. I replaced it with a solid pistol grip stock and it felt waaay better. It was accurate though, hitting the center ring on a torso target at 100 yards with slugs. .

Yessssss someone dual wielded it

Hi. I have a spas 12 group with the paddle flipper safety. Are you able to convert it for a fee? Years ago I had already replaced the whole group with a push button style, but kept the old paddle one. How could I get it to you?

Picking up a spas 12 - I have only meet one for sale in my life.

nice gun

Nice gun

Do you have a video on field striping beyond the barrel assembly, I'm able to get that far but having trouble with bolt assembly. Btw thanks to your video I held onto my butts before trying it out and had gunsmith look at it before and found ejector screw needed to be replaced so I spared no expense to prevent possible chaos and have a very reliable gun.

Do you make the parts or do you sell them ? Iv been trying to get a spas for the last 3 years and every time someone buys it out from underneath me lol :(

i bought it one wk ago..🙏🏻

These shotguns will always bring terminator 2 to mind for me. One day, when I'm rich and famous I will be able to snag one of these amazing guns

Can the SPAS 12 fire more Exotic Shotgun Loads without causing damage to the gun? Like, If I loaded a novelty shell like a Flechette or Flamethrower Shell into it, would it be able to fire without causing Damage to the Gun? I'm just Curious as I'd really like to Buy one of these Guns and want to know what the gun can Handle without Breaking it. Also, Can it Reliably fire Birdshot or 1 Ounce Loads?

What’s a good price for a spas 12?

After watching Jurassic Park I’ve been waiting to get my hands on a spas 12 and I hope I get one

Hey! What is the price to charge to replace all the plastics on a spas12?

I need parts anyone still making the Recoil shock absorbers and the folding stock shock absorbers.

How much does it cost to have the lever safety swapped?

Hello i from thailland brother -My spas 12 nomral in pump system But in seminauto mode i canshoot but it not slind brow blck I clean gas hole already it,s cannot broe back Please tell me how i can do thanks you my borther I love spas12

What’s a fair price range for these?

5:10 "THIS, is a shotgun, Sol!"

The links above no longer work. Also, just wanted to say thanks for informative vids. Your website is great as well. I Have wanted a Spas 12 ever since I first saw Jurassic park and finally bought one. Was super excited to find out that you have the replicated the stock hook as mine was missing it. Bummed that the combat bolt releases are out of stock. Planning on making any more? Going to place an order as soon as I go through the gun and see if I need any other parts.

Everything but the price, I would like to heard price ranges

Maybe Franchi has dissapered... sorry I don't know a lot about all this, however like in other cases maybe they will make someday a special edition, is that possible? Even then, I can't be an owner of that in Spain where all is little by little more and more prohibited.

Do you have any spare folding stocks ?

Do you have any original slings for sale? Or a combat Bolt release? Personally the receiver finish doesn't mean anything to me, but I intend to keep mine forever and shoot it quite a bit so I guess I'm not a collector.

People walk past them because the pieces, "haven't got this or haven't got that". Hogwash - just buy the thing and worry about accessorizing / re-buffering / etc afterwards. More and more spare parts are coming onto the market - my repro shepherd's crook is a 100% true repro and I've renewed the stock and recoil buffer. I guess the next thing is the grip plug. One fine day there WILL be an enterprising person remaking the folding stock and the shot diverter, but the ONE thing that will diminish, is the availability of the SPASs themselves as they've been out of production for 30+ years. Another scare is the so-called problem with the turning safety lever, making owners change over to the push bolt version. Just leave the bloody thing alone and just be careful with it. Keep everything as standard as it can be.

Clever girl.

Can i share on a private fb Group on italy?

Can I get one in Australia?

The raptor gun.

Quien puede ayudarme tengo bien armada la escopeta.. pero en modo de disparo semiautomático no funciona.. cómo puedo reparar esa falla.. saludos amigos muchas gracias

"twelf gayche autow-lowtuh!"

is the spas 12 classified as a AOW?

3:22 that's a deal-breaker

Weren't there like full auto variations or semi auto or something?? When ever I think of the SPAS 12 first thing that comes to mind is a powerfully fast shotgun. Kind of like the AA 12.

will you ever show how well the shot diverter worked?

Iconic gun but thats all

She's a beauty

Winni sxp wildfowl

The 12 gage auto loader # the terminator

I want to buy one so badly. :(

How hard is it to find replacement parts?

Yes now I can go bus some people
