2 Rare Franchi SPAS-15 Factory 6-Round 12 Gauge Magazines

So you own a SPAS-15 and you’ve been hunting for extra magazines. This is it. Two genuine factory Franchi SPAS-15 six-round 12 gauge detachable box magazines. Single-row metal construction. 2-3/4 inch shell compatibility. Factory original production from Luigi Franchi SpA.

2 Rare Franchi SPAS-15 SPAS15 6 RD Factory 12 G Shotgun Magazines    This is genuinely rare hardware. First, the SPAS-15 was produced between 1986 and 2005 and never imported into the US during the 1994 AWB period. Next, technical literature on the platform specifically calls out the very limited availability of spare magazines which were usually sold at rather high prices” even when the gun was in production. Finally, finding two factory original magazines together is rarer than finding one — they rarely surface and rarely in pairs.

Will these 2 Rare Franchi SPAS-15 SPAS15 6 RD Factory 12 G Shotgun Magazines fit any other shotgun?

No. So the SPAS-15 uses a unique detachable box magazine system not shared with the SPAS-12, LAW-12, or any other platform. Also, the SPAS-12 uses a tubular magazine, not a detachable box  these two shotguns are not parts-compatible in this area. Therefore, these magazines serve SPAS-15 owners exclusively and have no alternative use application.

What shell length do these 2 Rare Franchi SPAS-15 SPAS15 6 RD Factory 12 G Shotgun Magazines accept?

2-3/4 inch only. So the SPAS-15 is chambered for 70mm (2-3/4 inch) 12 gauge shells. Also, the 2-1/2 inch shell technically fits but wasn’t the intended specification for the platform. Therefore, run standard 2-3/4 inch 12 gauge loads for reliable feeding and cycling in both semi-auto and pump-action modes.

Why are SPAS-15 magazines so hard to find?

2 Rare Franchi SPAS-15 SPAS15 6 RD Factory 12 G Shotgun Magazines    Three compounding factors. So the SPAS-15 was never imported into the US in large numbers due to the 1994 AWB import restrictions.

Finally, technical literature from the production era already noted limited magazine availability even while the gun was being actively sold. Therefore, this is not a situation where patience will be rewarded  new production is not coming.

What modes does the SPAS-15 operate in?

2 Rare Franchi SPAS-15 SPAS15 6 RD Factory 12 G Shotgun Magazines    Semi-automatic and pump action  the same dual-mode system as the SPAS-12. So in semi-auto mode, the gas piston and rotating bolt handle cycling automatically. Also, switching to pump action is done by pressing a button and sliding the forend back, enabling reliable cycling of low-pressure less-lethal ammunition. Therefore, these magazines support both modes equally — the magazine feeds the chamber regardless of which operating mode you’re running.
