Milsurps / Prohib Franchi SPAS-12 Appreciation Post

Post image

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet ANOTHER Gun Appreciation Post!

Today we have an all time classic from the 1980s and 1990s, and it was actually one of the earliest guns to be under the prohibited list in Canada from what I have learned, and it was available in the Canadian gun market at one point, but it’s VERY rare, like you don’t see it that often.

Nonetheless it is a still very cool shotgun that deserves a lot of love, and I think that we should continue appreciating it.

The one and only

Franchi SPAS-12

Enjoy!

Yes, banned because it was simply cool but still functionnally equivalent to basically any shotgun ever.
