How Much Is a SPAS-12 Worth? (2026 Value Update)

How We Calculate Used SPAS-12 Values

SPAS-12 value is affected by its condition, variant or model, barrel length, and accessories or upgrades.

Condition and Values

As you may expect, better-condition guns have better values.

You can get your gun appraised by an expert to find its condition score. This may require a fee at some shops but we ourselves offer free gun appraisal online for firearm sellers.

To see how we professionally evaluate your firearm (for free) and turn that condition into a payout, view our 3-step selling process for a guaranteed FFL offer.

How We Appraise SPAS-12 Models

While the Franchi SPAS-12 came out in a number of configurations, there are arguably two main categories into which the variants fall.

Franchi SPAS-12 Folding Stock Value

The average used Franchi SPAS-12 Folding Stock is worth $1,700 to $4,300.

The Folding Stock version of the SPAS-12 tends to be more popular, and is also more easily recognizable thanks to the distinctive butt hook. This was designed to support one-handed use, with the hook wrapping under the user’s forearm when deployed.

This is the version of the shotgun seen in Jurassic Park, by the way, although Robert Muldoon’s SPAS-12 didn’t have the hook (as in the image above).

This is a model that holds value well. Because it’s a premium firearm in the line, we use a secure gun shipping and buying system to ensure every transaction is fully insured and legally compliant.

Franchi SPAS-12 Fixed Stock Value

The average used Franchi SPAS-12 Fixed Stock is worth $1,500 to $3,900.

This is pretty much the same gun, but with a fixed stock instead of a folding one. The most common version of this has a black one-piece synthetic stock.

It tends to be less popular with collectors, so it’s often worth about 10% to 15% less than a comparable folding-stock version. The exception is if it’s an original Franchi wooden stock.

That’s because the earliest SPAS-12 shotguns came with a wooden stock that you could detach with tools. Those are much rarer than the synthetic versions and are collectibles.

Assuming excellent condition, you can often sell a SPAS-12 with an original wooden stock for more than the synthetics. Contact us if you need an appraisal of yours!

How Barrel Length Affects Value

Barrel length has an effect on SPAS-12 valuation because it’s a collectible gun and thus sensitive to rarity. Some of SPAS-12 barrel lengths are rarer. Ergo, they can be worth more.

Here are the SPAS-12 barrel lengths, from most common to rarest (which means it’s also ordered from least valuable to most valuable):

• 21.5”
• 24” (due to a soldered 2.5” choke tube)
• 19.875”
• 18”

How Accessories Affect What We Pay for Your SPAS-12

It’s possible to sell a SPAS-12 with a number of original accessories that can boost its value. This is partly up to the buyer, of course, so be aware that some will only want to take the gun.

We’ve listed some common inclusions for SPAS-12 shotguns below, along with estimates of their resale values. Remember that these estimates are all for original accessories in superb condition.

And if you can’t seem to sell your SPAS-12 with all of its accessories, reach out to us. We often buy firearm accessories and even ammo!

Original Box and Papers

Most buyers will be willing to purchase the SPAS-12’s original cardboard box and papers if you have them in pristine condition.

Value: Around $10 to $25 for the matching box and papers.

Original Sling

This is another part of this iconic gun’s kit, so you may be able to sell it with the firearm to a collector. Don’t bother if it’s an aftermarket sling, though.

Value: Around $10 to $15.

Franchi Screw-on Choke

Franchi used to make these for the SPAS-12, but since they’re no longer in production, you can even sell these separately from the gun.

Value: Around $100 to $200.
