SG-12 SPAS 110 Rounds Later

[u/ExpensiveKoi]

Edit: Ran 120 shells through the SG-12 today in 25 mins nonstop. Quick note, it’s a winner (with the right ammo).

Summary:
Overall it ran exceptionally well, I’m happy to say no screws are loose, choke remained tight on the bore, stock did not come loose, and the forend stayed on. I ran majority of my shotshells in semi auto, and the shells that gave me a hard time I ran in pump reliably.

The only thing that I noticed was my bolt released seemed to have gotten stuck near the end, I was able to fix it by changing into pump and then pressing the bolt down to release it. Seems to be working fine now, but interested to see how it holds up in the next 100-200 shells I run next.

I did this all under 25 mins, the gun did get hot, it was a vibe seeing the steam come through the vented hand-guard not going to lie.

I ran the following:

What Ran Good:
10 Shotshells of RIO Game Buckshot (1345fps); no malfunctions

10 Shotshells of RIO Game Slugs (1410fps); no malfunctions

25 Shotshells of MILI Defense Buckshot (1350fps); no malfunctions

25 Shotshells of SCORE Competition Slugs (1300fps); no malfunctions in semi auto

25 Shotshells of SCORE Buckshot (1350fps); no malfunctions in semi auto

10 Shotshells of American Whitetail Slugs (1600fps); no malfunctions in semi auto

What Ran Bad:
15 Shotshells of American Gunner Buckshot (1350fps); this didn’t have enough juice for some reason to cycle reliable, had a few instances where it got stuck in the chamber, so the shell lip for the extractor seems like it doesn’t like it. Also had double feeds with this and it was a pia to clear them in semi auto. No issues in pump though which is nice to say. I did run 5 of these in my 1301 and it cycled it flawlessly. So the only times I encountered double feeds or failure to extract was with this ammo only.

Honestly the fact Score runs so good is a huge W, it’s cheap ammo and you can really just blast them all day long.

I really do think I can run a 250 burndown gauntlet with this. Just to see what happens 😉
