- There seems to be fairly consistent opinion that the Franchi SPAS-12
- is one of the ugliest/scariest guns around ... this brought to mind
- a recent discussion with my usually-reliable source (for whom I'm
- attempting to arrange inexpensive Internet access).
-
- What's the hook on the SPAS-12 stock for? It's usually thought of
- as a device to allow using this enormously heavy shotgun one-handed,
- but that's not its principal purpose.
-
- The authority for my answer, which I'll post in a week or so if no one
- gets it, is a conversation my usually-reliable source had with Luigi
- Franchi at the '88 AUSA show.
