Talk:Franchi PA3
Additional Variants
"Based on the SPAS-12"
Being that it's pump-action only, wouldn't the PA3 be based on Franchi's PA7 or PA8, rather than the SPAS12? The naming scheme even clues you in here You have the PA8, which is pump-action only, then you have the LAW12, which is self-loading only, with the SPAS12 being like the PA8 and LAW12 combined into a single "select-fire" gun, so to say. Mildly related, I am to understand that various parts are interchangeable between these three families of guns to some extent, either as they are or with minor modification, with stocks swapping freely. I have seen a few examples of a PA8 shotgun with its folding stock dressed up with the heat shield and pump-slide from a SPAS12, as the owner wanted one but couldn't own a real SPAS12 in his jurisdiction.
