Replaced quite a few parts. And I was very surprised with the cost of spas-12 factory replacement costs to be honest.

Finally found all the parts I needed to complete another firearm I was given by my dad.

Gorgeous. Still the best looking semi/pump shotgun in my opinion.

Actually, velociraptors were 1 & 0 for that engagement.

Way cool.

One of the local pawn shops got one in recently.

$3500 price tag.

Clever girl.

Very nice! I don't care what the detractors say, they're iconic. Best shotgun ever made? No. But iconic all the same.

THE shotgun of the late 80’s through mid-90’s…Jurassic Park, Terminator, and Dino Crisis on the PlayStation jump to mind. That is awesome you were able to get it functioning - enjoy the snot out of it! Since you have the hook too, single-handed firing while riding a motorcycle is an essential part of practice!

Now that’s something I didn’t know I needed.

A very cool, iconic shotgun. It's a shame that the reality of the SPAS-12 doesn't live up to the fame, as it's a fairly disappointing shotgun to actually operate, being overly complex, heavy, a bit unreliable, and clunky/unergonomic.

To be pedantic, the SPAS-12 was in the first Terminator, which didn't involve firing from a motorcycle.

The shotgun wielded one-handed on a motorcycle was in the second Terminator, and was a lever action Winchester 1887.

Thank you - I had the right scene in my head, but had the wrong gun. It was the AR-18 he shot from the motorcycle in Terminator 1 when chasing Kyle and Sarah. The SPAS got its camera time during the police station clearing.
