Spaz -12 - The Firearms Forum

Davejohn90 · 09-03-2012, 07:10 PM

I was wondering is the Spaz 12 legal in MD or in the US I know it was banned but, is it still banned.
And if I can't buy it are there any varients that still offer the dual fire modes?

As far as I know, it is a class 3 weapon. It is not imported now. I don't think that there is anything else like it anywhere.

If you're refering to the Franchi made 12 gauge that you can switch from pump to semi-auto, a quick google search showed a few for sale. $1000+ prices on them.

They don't even make them anymore and haven't for 12 years.

It is not considered classIII. You just cant find them. If you find a Law 12 it was a better shotgun for less money.

The info I posted was from a price guide. It is considered destructive.

I sold mine a few years back to a dealer in California for $900-

They have a few notable characteristics...

They are absurdly heavy, clumsy and complicated.

Models with the lever safety, like mine was, tend to go BOOM when the safety is applied.

They are NOT NFA weapons. ( class 3 is the SOT the dealer has in addition to the FFL a class 2 SOT can also sell them as can a class 1 SOT) they are just shotguns. Though some states MAY have problems with them but I do not know what ones those may be.
