    You need to talk to your UK dealer.

    However, I don't believe that the SPAS-12 is still in production. Especially in the 24" "UK legal" version. But, you would not want one; this model has a design defect in the trigger group, resulting in accidental discharges. Franchi refused to recall the model or provide replacement parts to owners.

    I would not buy either this model, or any other Franchi, for this reason.

    The UK legal variation that Neal has already mentioned was never imported into the Untied States so you are not very likely to find one on this side of the Pond. This is a US based web site and we simply are cannot be familiar with the endless laws and regulations involved in firearm ownership all over the world so I will second Neal and suggest you contact a dealer in your own country for the particulars.
