SPAS 12 Field Stripping and Reassembly

[crwireman254]

And a big thanks for making this vid!

[crwireman254]

@joguwa86 ok thanks I took the grip off and saw the little plastic nipple of the buffer above the grip screw

[crwireman254]

Please I need help! Just took mine down and was looking for the buffer. All I can see is metal, arent they plastic? Im not gonna shoot till I find out my guns ok

[joguwa86]

@crwireman254

Some (all?) original buffers have a piece of metal over the front. You should only be worried if there is an obvious empty hole at the upper back of your receiver.

[crwireman254]

Finally got mine!

[bringerofhavok]

There's nothing quite like the sound of metal on metal, locking into place.

[crwireman254]

Awesome I just put one on lay away! Can't wait till its mine!

[yhao1]

Its like he said, there are multiple versions. The semi-auto version was called the LAW i think.

[joguwa86]

@yhao1

That is correct. And the pump-only version is called the SAS-12.

[steelbros1]

Is this still banned in America? Or did it ever lift?

[joguwa86]

@steelbros1

It is only banned from import.

[jcodym13]

why the hell do video games make this firearm semi-auto? is there a different version of it?

[bIGnmIZTEE2]

@jcodym13 the spas is both semi and pump.

[soundwaveman100]

is it possible for the spas 12 to carry 16 shells? also what is your opinion on its predicesser, the spas 15?

[NikeSwaq]

Soon as i get the money... this shit is mine. Fuck the 9mm i was going to get. A Spas 12 would blow a hole into the chest of anybody trying to rob my house!

[m3delight]

i want one, i thought they were more complicated, but not really, franchi should keep on making them and importing them to the states

[BLAZEDALLDATIME]

well i guess you dont know if you knock out the two pins you can take out the whole trigger action and ramp of the gun for complete cleaning even though you said you wouldnt have to strip it more to clean it but why would you complely its not a mossberg 500 piece of crap for a couple hundred bucks since i have owned mine it has gone up 700 dollars value i take mine down to nothing to git every piece of crap buffer compound or gunpowder to make it worth keeping and resale

[skateluca1]

nice!

[AlyssaKitten]

where can i find anuyther hook?

[joguwa86]

@AlyssaKitten

Hooks are available at Spas12.com

[AlyssaKitten]

@joguwa86 Thank you very much

[AlyssaKitten]

@joguwa86 Thank you very much

[KykuitTheWitch1]

@joguwa86 yep...the guy who makes them sells them to Chris

[jonesm16]

can you still purchase that model you have in the U.S.?

[joguwa86]

@jonesm16

Yes, my exact variant will run about $1200.

[dmaximum]

where did u get one and how much did it cost?

[joguwa86]

I purchased this one on Gunbroker, and it ran me about $950. They generally range from $700-$1500.

[DrMemory667]

Thanks for the video! Poeple have been bugging me to make one on the SPAS12 for years!. I am Chris at the website of the same name. Plug: I do have the wear parts mentioned.

[joguwa86]

Chris, wow! Thanks for the compliment. :P Your website got me interested in the SPAS 12 about 6 years ago.

For a while I'd heard all your parts were gone; are you filling orders again? If so, I just acquired a LAW 12 that needs a new buffer.

[DrMemory667]

Yes, the store is open again. 

Your video is nice -- mine would have a lot of rattling jammed parts and cursing at the gun. :-) It's a good idea to pull the barrel out of the heat guard and look at the slide valve and the gas ports -- lots of blocked gas ports.

I see YouTube blocks posts with email addresses, so let's just say I can be reached as Chris at the com-mon website for SPAS12.

[joguwa86]

Just placed an order for that buffer I'd mentioned. ;)

[Dukenukem787]

wow you know your shot guns.

[clutch432]

whats the legal status of a spas 12 in canada

[joguwa86]

Banned by name, unfortunately.

[clutch432]

thanks thats shitty is banned

[Relik3343]

is it realy? that sucks i would love to have one.

[dinkwinkerson]

I've been told that it's impossible to find parts for these anymore. Mine is working fine, but hearing that raised concern. Any positive news about this?

[Enkei1989]

holy shit.. he disassembles it even further!

omg

[D0ublezer0x]

So this is why every time I watch a Spas video the fucking things jam.

[heavensarmory]

I couldnt keep it.

I missed 3' shells. Then came The Benelli M4, then Saiga 12.

[rockriver71]

Thank you for the info i just got one and had no info about it "you were a big help " once again thank you

[ShmizzyMcGriddles]

Thank you so much for this video! I've been trying (and failing) to get the bolt out of the reciever, so I really appriciate this :) Anyway, is your recoil buffer the cone style or the cylindrical model? And where did you get yours?

Thanks

[joguwa86]

Thanks for the compliment! My buffer is the cylindrical type. Got mine from a guy who's e-mail address I won't divulge here. He was producing a large run of them a few months back, not sure how many he has left.
