Introducing the SG-12 “SPAS”. By using the receiver of an existing, standard semi-automatic shotgun we have been able to add SPAS-12 style components to achieve the same look, feel and function of the legendary SPAS-12, but without the prohibited classification. No sales to USA.
The SPAS-12 (Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun) was developed in the late 1970’s for special operations and elite law enforcement units who required a shotgun that was designed specifically for their requirements. It’s dual-mode system allows for effective operation of both standard and special purpose ammunition, (i.e. rubber, tear, flare, etc.) on the fly, while its stock and hook system allowed for single hand use (ie rappelling, with riot shields, around corners, etc.). The SPAS-12 was ruggedized to operate under the most adverse conditions and boasts tactical versatility, accuracy and a high rate of fire. It was subsequently adopted by numerous special purpose law enforcement and military forces around the globe.
The SG-12 “SPAS” is a dual-mode semi-automatic and pump action 12GA shotgun. It can be quickly converted from autoloading to pump by simply pressing a button located on the pump handle. The SG-12 “SPAS” features a 21.5” barrel with a 3” chamber and is fed by a 5-shot tubular magazine (6 shots, 2.75”). Fixed on top of the receiver are ghost-ring sights for fast target acquisition. The handguard is stamped steel with parkerized coating for resistance to the elements and features venting holes to aid with cooling and reduce weight. The pump handle is ergonomically shaped with non-slip channels for use with gloves or in wet environments. As per the original, it is gas piston operated for clean, cool and reliable operation. The original was held back due to a complicated loading mechanism, a disintegrating buffer and a brittle single point sling attachment, all of which have been addressed in the SG-12.
Like all firearms imported by TI, the SG-12 “SPAS” is backed with a LIFETIME WARRANTY.
Comes with manual. For reliable function in semi-automatic mode, full power shells of 1350fps+ are recommended, at least for the first 200 rounds. High brass shells preferred. No parts compatibility with SPAS-12 models. The traditional methods required to fabricate the steel parts may result in minor aesthetic imperfections with are normal and are inherent to the design as per the original.
