An Italian designed multi-role shotgun introduced in 1979, with this example manufactured in 1982 per the boxed "AI" date code on the underside of the receiver, the SPAS-12 (Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun) is a dual action platform with the ability to swap between semi-automatic and pump action modes of fire. The inclusion of the pump action feature was intended to allow the platform to reliably cycle specialized low-pressure loads, like bean bag or tear gas rounds. Features fixed blade front and peep rear sights, 2 3/4 inch chamber, stamped metal heat shield. The receiver has standard markings and features, including an import mark on the left side and enlarged rotary safety lever. Fitted with a ribbed polymer slide and pistol grip, along with a folding stamped metal stock. Note: This item is restricted under various state-level assault weapons bans and cannot be sold or transferred to residents of CA, CT, DE, HI, IL, MD, NJ, NY, and WA. Please check your local laws and regulations prior to bidding.

Excellent overall, retaining 97% plus original phosphate and black finishes with some light cycling wear, limited minor edge wear, and limited light handling marks. A solid rubber pad has been added to the butt, which interferes with folding the stock. Mechanically excellent.
