What does 12 stand for?
SPAS has 2 Different names to the acronym. Prior to 1990 the SPAS-12 Shotgun was called the Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun. When the USA banned the gun from importation due to its name in 1989 it was changed to Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun to continue the shotgun sales to the USA until the final ban of the shotgun with the 1994 Clinton Assault Weapons Ban. It is believed less than 1850 of these shotguns are grandfathered into the USA. The Sporting Purpose version was different as it had a limited Magazine Tube Extension and a non folding fixed stock when it was imported and is the less valuable model of the two for collectors.

Is it legal to purchase and own an SPAS-12 Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun in California?
spas-12 is not legal in CA . legal in some places. Not here in Cali. :( :( :( :( Hmmm. I will agree the Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun version built from 1979-1989 would be illegal as it has additionally a folding stock and high capacity magazine tube. ***But if the shotgun is the Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun manufactured from 1990-1994 it might be legal if it wasn't generalized by the California Attorney General office, Clarification is needed as the only picture in their list of restriction is the prior to 1990 version in the photo. Why? The Later model named as Sporting Purpose has a restricted Magazine Tube limiting the shotgun to Five or Six shells not Eight in the tube, it also has a fixed synthetic stock that is not a folding stock version. These restrictions were made by the federal government to stop the importation of the Special Purpose in 1989. Later in 1990 the importation was continued as it was considered a sporting shotgun by the ATF ruling and not a military shotgun with the cosmetic changes and restrictions. If I was a Judge and had to decide it would be a gray area if it is the Sporting Purpose SPAS-12. Check the two digit date code ahead of the loading port to confirm proofing and the manufactured date. Sporting Purpose Automatic SPAS-12 Shotguns were only manufactured by American Arms with the following Date Codes. AZ=1990 BA=1991 BB=1992 BC=1993 BD=1994. If the date code is after 1994 its a federal crime of illegal importation into the United States.
