LOVE it! I'm considering an 870 or Mossburg for my next build. I've got a few shotguns already but nothing I would consider "tactical" I want to build one and get one of those shelves that have a case drop out of the bottom to hide it in the bedroom, or a slide-away mirror.

I want to try trap shooting this year. I wonder how this 870 will do. Hahaha.

I met an ffl on my delivery route last night. Got to talking and he invites me into his house and shows me his gun room. Very cool guy. Picked up a spas-12 off his shelf and handed it to me. Good lord that gun is cool.

SPAS-12...

Been aloooong time since I last seen a SPAS-12. Been almost as long since I heard talk of one. They quit importing them in '94. The new version is SPAS-15. Only about 180 of them was imported. Had an 8 round box mag. If you can find a SPAS-12. They're going for about $3000.00

A spas-12 is on my firearm bucket list. They're just too cool.

urdeliveryguy · 03-01-2016, 02:15 PM

I think I saw a few spas-12 on gunbroker. It looked like an elephant on his rack next to all his other rifles.

The Spas-12 is definitely one of the best looking shotguns out there. Sad, that's really where most of its appeal ends. It's got movie cred, but it's also crazy overpriced and finicky to boot.

You're better off just going with a Mossberg 500 or a Remington 870. You can't beat the price point or the reliability. For what you would spend on the Spas, you could turn your 500/870 base into just about anything. And still have plenty of cash left over for shells.

What the deuce? I go to see a movie and there's a big ol' no weapons permitted sign. Then we go to a store and they have the same sign. I feel horrible I had to violate someone's "store policy" twice today.

Long as I got my permit on me, you can't see the gun, and no metal detector. I walk in. Schools, work, and court houses. The gun stays in the vehicle.

Exactly. Same here. Just waiting on my new holster so I can carry the smaller pistol. That XMD is a monster on my thin-*** frame. Summer concealed carry is a no-go with that thing.

I did change out my carry ammo today. I love fresh shiny rounds.
