Are original SPAS-12 shotguns worth more with the push button safety, or with a (functioning) rotating lever type safety?

Push button seems to hold a premium from what I have seen. I know I'd rather have the push button over the lever.

Some good news. I spoke with the importer I got my gun through and he stated that the manufacturer is working on a latch style stock that is in development but not out yet and will be released at a later date for around 100 or less.

I have both, and I’m not really sure that it affects price as much as you think it would. Would all come down to the buyer and whether they’ll pay more for one version or another.

The lever style was the recalled one because they will all eventually fail. Now, in practice, it doesn’t matter much if you don’t use that safety. The original SPAS has a second “quick action” safety that I use rather than the lever or button.

And I preferred the lever style on my folder from the aesthetics as it was the closest to Jurassic Park.

This is really good news. Hopefully they also drill the hole in a better spot to fix the angle. I really need to buy one of these

That is the LAW-12. It is basically a semi auto only version of the SPAS. All the internals are basically the same. It just does not have the pump action parts and heatshield.

The other one is the SAS-12. It is basically a pump action only version of the SPAS.
All the internal parts are virtually identical, just it does not have the spot in the bolt for the semi auto charging handle nor the gas system.

The stocks all interchange between them. You can see the grips are all the same and I can take the folding stock. They even have the push button. Just unbolt the fixed stock and bolt on the folding one.
The receivers are all the same casting. The SAS even has the empty hole where the recoil buffer would go on the SPAS and LAW.
I went ahead and put one of those buffers in mine, because the action parts do hit the receiver at the rear of travel so I added the buffer to cushion it a little. No other reason than just cause I can.
