Brand New to Canada: SG-12 "SPAS"

[twyeh]

Hopefully these have much better QC and materials, the USA imports are failing left and right.
Will we see these in the shorter 18.5 inch versions soon? And with chokes?
Current weight is 4.3Kg unloaded at this full size 21.5 inch thick gurl.
A shorter variant would be ideal and still legally holds 5 rounds in tube and have a more usable weight/balance.

You don’t need to be able to look into the future to know that the turkish copy of the infamously unreliable Italian shotgun is going to have problems. That being said im buying one LOL rule of cool got me this time

Ironically i think this repro will be more reliable than the original...lol

Thank God its T.I and their warranty as they are some of the best in terms of actually taking care of their customers with help for warrantied items

I have one of the M3 copies which I'm sure were the basis of this build...while it's not the best made gun I own, it's functional and I'm sure repairable. I'd say that if anyone didn't want one of these because they were worried about turkish QA, then don't order and leave it for the next guy. Turks don't make the best quality, you have to accept some level of self repair with these things.

TI, is your version the as same as the "Gen 2" from the below video? If so, people are in for a treat!

Watch the video at 5:30 in...

It looks like the first two photos TI posted show the Gen 1 removable screw that retains the rear folding stock...

The last two photos that TI posted show the Gen 2 stock which is non-adjustable like the original SPAS...

I'm sure TI will clarify shortly.

Other then that screw, the stock profile, the loop on the top of the stock close to the reciever and the button on top of the shoulder piece all are from the Gen 2 version tho. Wonder if the screw piece were left overs

[Deathrawt]

Huh I thought that hook was so you could hang it up on the coat rack

It's so you can still be in the fight with your arm blown off.
...sorry, when your arm torn off by a Velociraptor.

I'm sure they ordered all they could, they would have known this would be a blowout, I think they sold out everywhere in the US as well.
