The Formidable SPAS 12 Shotgun

Found a great article about the SPAS 12 written by Mr. Art Blatt back in 1983! He does a great job illustrating both the guns positives and negatives, while giving a fair review. I thought it was pretty interesting that (according to this article) it was FIE who suggested to Franchi they develop a better sling mount. If only they'd stuck with the metal swivel drums they used on their prototypes... Can't say they didn't have style in the 80's!
