Description
C&R Eligible
An exceptionally rare opportunity: the Italian-made Franchi SPAS-15 in its original factory 16-inch barrel configuration. This is the true European-spec model that has never been imported to the United States in this exact configuration. Most U.S. examples were fitted with longer 21.5" barrels — making this 16" variant one of the holy grails of tactical shotgun collecting.
The SPAS-15 is a true dual-mode combat shotgun: switch instantly between gas-operated semi-automatic fire for rapid engagement and manual pump-action mode for reliable function with low-pressure or specialty loads. Built like a tank with a stamped steel receiver, rotating bolt, and chrome-lined barrel, these shotguns were designed for military and law enforcement use and have since become legendary among collectors.
Condition: Used in Excellent Condition. These examples show only light handling marks consistent with careful storage and minimal range use. Original finish is 95%+ with crisp markings, tight action, and flawless mechanical function. Each shotgun has been thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and function-tested by our master gunsmiths. Original Italian proof stamps intact.
This is a genuine piece of firearms history — fewer than 200 SPAS-15 shotguns of any configuration are believed to exist in the United States, and the 16" barrel version is the rarest of them all. Whether you're a serious investor or a passionate collector, this is a blue-chip addition that will only increase in value.
