Franchi SPAS 12

[HK416]

Can anyone tell me if Franchi made SPAS 12 with wooden stocks and forend.

I have checked the www but only seem to find pics with synthetic pistol grips and folding stocks.

There is a Franchi for sale which I have not seen yet but it is claimed to be a SPAS12 with wooden furniture.

Were SPAS 12's made with a wooden stocks? ???

Not as far as I know.

However the seller may be confused. Italian companies often have the suffix "S.P.A.s" or something like that. It's similar to our "(Pty) Ltd" or "Ltd".

That combined with the calibre may have misled the seller.

Have him send you pictures.

Also ask him if it is switchable between pump and semi auto operation as I think both the SPAS 12 and 15 were.
