Spas 12 Dimensions, please?

Post by wrangler93 » February 23rd, 2014, 8:26 pm

Hello all!

I was just wondering if anyone can provide me with specific dimensions on the Spas 12, the components (width, height, length) as such: Heat shield, Barrel/Mag Tube length, Pistol Grip, Stock, and mainly just about the gun basically, or if you can provide me with template...

As to why I'm doing this - well I'm making a prop from cardboard/foam and covering that in resin, making it strong and it will be moveable as well, I might to a run of castings and give em out i don't know atm :)

But all help would be appreciated, thank guys take care!

It may be easier to try to find an airsoft version. I might just throw a folding stock on my Maverick 88 and call it a day...

That's the thing, it ain't easy in Canada to find an airsoft one, they're either crappy and non scale or over priced and backordered.... That's why I made this post! :)

I've got an airsoft SPAS but it's the undersized version.
As you said; most are undersized.

I'm unable to search for such things at work but have you been able to find specifications online maybe from a spec sheet or someone who just loves the model enough to put together the specs online?

Well I've searched but there's not the sizes I can find at all, maybe only for the stock and overall length (ill give it that), I wish my customs weren't such a pain in my glutes!

Or does anyone want to try and vacuum form their TM Spas 12? I don't know, I'd then be able to use that to mod and make a suitable model and/or use for the right measurements!

You'd be better off buying some floristry foam and making your own 1:1 scale, even if it isn't 100% accurate.
If no one can own one who are they to say it's not accurate?

Vac-forming something like this takes time and resources, are you willing to pay for those?
Even then customs can seize it just as easily as you're asking people to ship what you're not allowed to purchase.

Buy some foam, make a base and build off of that with wall compound or spackle and you'll then have a personally built SPAS with some weight to it, more weight and a better feel than a vac formed shell.

I only have the smaller BB version so the dimensions will be off but if you'd like those as a base let me know.

I work at a range/FFL and have the real deal SPAS 12 at the shop just like Muldoon's. I will get the dimensions you listed above, let me know if you want anything else.

The heat shield measures 13" long, the barrel is 20 and 7/8" from the end of the receiver to the tip of the thread protector. The magazine tube is 20 and 1/4" frothe end of the receive. The lump action measures 10 and 1/2" along its longest point (look at pics online of this because it has a unique shape to it). Let me know if you would like anything else.
