Franchi Spas 12 Hook - DIY

Hello,

I am looking for the original Franchi Spas 12 Hook measures, as the hooks are impossible to find separately. Has anyone an idea, where to get the measures? Has anyone a Spas 12 and can measure it for me?

Thank you in Advance!

Try Carlsons choke tubes in Atwood, KS. Google the #. Last time i needed parts for my spas they had some on hand.

 

[MikeRiggins87]

Thank you for the Information. I'll contact Carlsons

 

[MikeRiggins87]

They don't have them anymore :banghead: Any other ideas?

Did you try gun broker or just a basic search?

 

[MikeRiggins87]

of course i did - but i found nothing yet

Hmmm, after looking at the pictures it looks like a pretty simple affair, like a length of bended pipe for the most part. Do you know any metal workers or machinists? I'm sure you could get a replica produced if you can't find one.

The SPAS 12 has got to be one of the coolest, heck if not THE coolest looking firearms ever invented IMHO. I would consider yourself awesomelly blessed even if you can't find a hook. At least you have the SPAS 12!

The problem making a replica is, that I do not even have the measurements for it. And if i would make a replica, it should be at least very close to the original.

You're right. The Spas 12 is one of the coolest weapons in the world

Do you have one? With hook? And measurements?

It's cool looking alright. I've owned two. To operate is a completely different story. The manual of arms for that thing makes it a bear to master. If you have the unconverted "paddle" style safety be EXTREMELY CAREFUL. Franchi converted them to a push button safety during a recall. The paddle style safety would cause the weapon to fire when disengaged. Ask me how I know. Thank God it was pointed in a safe direction.

 

[MikeRiggins87]

Hello! I have the old style safety and I know the risk of it. Thanks anyways for your information. Do you have any information regarding the hook?

 

[MikeRiggins87]

Has anyone else information?
