Description
The Spandau S2 12 Gauge Semi-Auto 24 in. Mossy Oak is a field-ready shotgun built for shooters who want reliable performance without breaking the bank. Chambered in 12 gauge with a 24-inch vent-rib barrel and Mossy Oak Obsession camouflage, this semi-auto uses a proven inertia operating system to cycle a wide range of loads—from light target shells to heavy field loads. The receiver is drilled and tapped for optics, and the rifle-style synthetic stock includes a recoil pad, swivel studs, and an adjustable spacer kit for drop and cast. Factory accessories include a multi-piece choke kit, so you can dial in your pattern for waterfowl, upland birds, or clay targets.

Key Features
- Inertia Operating System — Why it matters: This gas-free design cycles cleanly and reliably, even with light target loads, and requires less frequent cleaning than gas-operated shotguns. It also keeps the action compact and balances well for fast swinging.
- 24-inch Vent-Rib Barrel — Why it matters: The shorter barrel makes the S2 quick to shoulder and maneuverable in brush or tight cover, while the ventilated rib provides a clear sight plane for consistent shot placement.
- Mossy Oak Obsession Camouflage — Why it matters: This pattern breaks up your outline in marshes, fields, and timber, helping you stay hidden from wary waterfowl and upland birds. The finish is durable and resists scratches from rough use.
- Adjustable Spacer Kit — Why it matters: You can customize drop and cast to fit different shooters—great for passing the shotgun between family members or adjusting for your own build. This promotes proper mount and reduces felt recoil.
- Multi-Piece Choke Kit Included — Why it matters: Comes with multiple chokes (e.g., improved cylinder, modified, full) so you can tailor pattern density for close-flushing quail or long-range geese without buying extra chokes.
Who It’s For
The Spandau S2 is ideal for families introducing new hunters or clay shooters to the sport. Its adjustable stock and reliable cycling make it a forgiving platform for youth shooters and beginners, while the inertia system and camouflage finish appeal to experienced waterfowlers who want a lightweight, low-maintenance field gun. It’s also a solid choice for budget-conscious shooters who need one shotgun that can handle both hunting and recreational shooting.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Reliable inertia cycling across a wide range of loads, from 2.75-inch target shells to 3-inch magnum field loads.
- Pro: Adjustable stock and included choke kit add versatility for different shooters and game.
- Con: The synthetic stock, while durable, may feel less refined than wood stocks found on higher-end models. Some shooters prefer a more traditional look and feel.
Comparison
| Feature | Spandau S2 | Zev Technologies Z-12 | Timney Shotgun Trigger (Aftermarket) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Action Type | Inertia semi-auto | Gas-operated semi-auto | Trigger upgrade (not a shotgun) |
| Barrel Length | 24 in. | 26 in. | N/A |
| Stock | Adjustable synthetic | Fixed synthetic | N/A |
| Chokes | Multi-piece kit included | Benelli/Mobil pattern | N/A |
| Price | $511.99 | $1,200+ | $150–250 |
The Spandau S2 offers a lower entry price than the Zev Technologies Z-12 while still providing reliable inertia cycling and an adjustable stock. For shooters looking to upgrade their trigger, the Timney aftermarket trigger can improve pull weight, but it’s a separate purchase and not a complete shotgun.
FAQ
What loads does the Spandau S2 cycle reliably?
The inertia system cycles 2.75-inch target loads (1 oz. and above) as well as 3-inch magnum field loads. For best reliability with light target loads (under 1 oz.), use high-velocity shells.
Can I mount a red dot or scope on the Spandau S2?
Yes, the receiver is drilled and tapped for optics. You can install a Picatinny rail or direct-mount a red dot using the existing screw holes. Check with a gunsmith for proper torque specs.
Is the adjustable stock easy to change for different shooters?
Yes, the spacer kit includes shims that adjust drop and cast. You can swap them in about 10 minutes with a screwdriver. This makes it easy to fit the shotgun to multiple family members.
What chokes are included with the Spandau S2?
The multi-piece choke kit includes improved cylinder, modified, and full chokes. They use the Benelli/Mobil thread pattern, so you can also buy aftermarket chokes from brands like Carlson’s or Patternmaster.
Does the Spandau S2 come with a warranty?
Per manufacturer specs, the S2 includes a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact Spandau customer service for warranty claims.
