I traded into a full sized Spas with some issues a year back, finally used it BAD.
I’ve had these guns in the past, and loved/hated the complications. But this was different, I had flown all the way to the West Coast to be embarrassed by a crumbling buffer and oil, turned to sludge. To hit clays, I needed the iron dialed. 5 minutes into frustration, we oiled it. 5w-30 got the tube loading every other round. The action’s facets were seized by what had once been lubricant….turned wax. The buffer, shattered had made its way into the trigger group, jamming the springs and levers of the operation.
Back in Georgia, the Italian relic took on a new buffer, and now, with snap caps, the lifter try is cycling FINALLY.
The next post on this thread will be a range report! I’m predicting Victory.
Then I want to put a wide red dot on top. IF anyone has a shotgun suppressor, hit me up!
What is it…. A salvo??
