Other than Benelli, what is your favorite/funnest shotgun you own?

I've only got two other shotguns models aside from Benelli.

Remington 1100LW .410 with 4 barrel set (they were all fixed choke in that era)

Savage 24. I've got several of these. The one I use the most is 22/410.

 

I've got a couple others that I inherited. I don't really care for them but keeping them out of respect.

Alittle old school

Hopefully that middle one (SPAS-12) is a safe queen. It still has the original safety on it. At least the one on the right has it. I bid on one with box and papers and upgraded safety right as COVID took over a year ago and for some reason I didn't get my auto bid in right and I didn't get it. Within weeks, the prices had shot up a grand. I'd still like one of those, as well as a SPAS-15.

i totally understand.  when you have that many, doesnt hurt to let a few go at a nice profit.  i liked the SPAS just for the 'cool factor' but it was big, heavy and could be finicky in pump mode but it sure looked bada*s.  i have a bunch of shotguns and the SPAS wouldve been at the bottom of my shtf go to gun. i like my Ithaca and i have a 12 inch SBS 870 USSS contract overrun that is just awesomely balanced.

Some of my favorite non-hunting shotguns.

The Spas-12 is one of the mechanically clumsiest shotguns ever designed. I authored an Anatomy Series Manual for the Spas-12 Improved Trigger Group, i.e. cross bolt design compared to the lever safety trigger group.

FYI-The Franchi Spas 12 with lever-style safety is dangerous! 

Still searching for  a Spas-12 "diverter" muzzle device.
