I saw this a couple years ago hinted at, a Turkish clone of the SPAS 12. At the time, people anticipated this highly, because at the end of the day it was still a cheapo Turk, and it was a trendy but in reality pretty crappy original shotgun. Speculation was that it was going to be priced around $400, to capitalize on it being a clone of something "cool".



Ok, now it's been released, and they want... over a thousand? frick all that. I'm not paying that much for a cheap copy. I bet a ton of others won't either.

I hope they choke on the damn things, and none move.

You can always buy the real thing for $5k.

No thanks

Like I said, I'd strongly consider going $400, which is probably overpriced for what you'd get. It's a reproduction, and not 100% to the original.

If I want retro reproductions, I have less invested in my AR 15 A1 with the 20" pencil barrel, integral carry handle and old Colt furniture, + my Cetme C, combined.

They're sold out, so the price clearly isn't too high for some.

Fine, beat me up on this
Yeah, I'm greedy... or like to get deals.

I remember when Bronco Arms had this at Shotshow a couple years ago, the price being tossed around was definitely sub-500. Most speculated it would be in the Shockwave range.

It's a tacticool range toy with little practical use, and an offbrand.
