An Italian designed multi-role shotgun introduced in 1979, with this example manufactured in 1994 per the boxed "BD" (94) 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. Fitted with a ribbed polymer slide and pistol grip, along with a fixed polymer stock. Includes the original importer box and a tube limiter. 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 98% original phosphate and black finishes with some minor cycling rub wear on the heat shield, some plum coloration on the trigger housing, and limited minor handling marks, with a "dry/un-lubricated" appearance overall. The slide is a bit stiff, which is likely to improve with lubrication/handling, otherwise mechanically excellent. The box is fine with holes and tape repairs.
