Up for sale is a unique Franchi PA8 with some SPAS-12 furniture installed. Receiver is a PA8 and is non-restricted.

FRT firearm reference number is 32171 if you wish to verify.

Many hours have been spent tinkering and tuning to get this to function properly. Now it functions in both PUMP, and SEMI with cheap challenger 7.5 target loads. It also runs heavier loads, but who wants to spend more money on ammo?

With that being said, it doesn’t function the same as a true SPAS-12 because the receiver of a PA8 is VERY different from a SPAS-12 receiver and lacks the controls that a SPAS-12 receiver has. The PA8 receiver doesn’t have a charging handle cut out, a bolt release cut out, a bolt hold open device, or a magazine cut off button. Because it lacks these features, it functions differently. More info can be given to prospective buyers on how to operate the gun.

The magazine is permanently pinned to 5 rounds to keep it legal. A polymer extension is installed; however a steel extension is available if the buyer would prefer that.

New polyurethane grip plug. Brand New stock shock absorber and new receiver shock absorber. Upgraded cross bolt safety (not the dangerous lever safety).

Asking $8,000 cash or 10K trade value.
