Catamount Fury

[Jet19912]

I'm sure this topic has been beat to death, but I'm picking up the Century Catamount Fury and I wanted to know if anyone has owned one and has an opinion on it?

I have the Catamount Fury II. Bought it on the cheap (like $399.99) from PSA about a year ago. Overall, it is a decent semi-auto shotty. Fit & finish is acceptable for this price point. I have probably put about 250 rounds through it since I got it and have had a few FTE. It is a bit picky on ammo, but when you find stuff that works, it will chew it up. Magazines can be difficult to acquire. The 5 round version are out there for cheap (PSA had them for like $5) but the 10 round versions are much harder to find. I ended up having to sweet talk someone at CAI to get them to sell me 4 10 rounders. Not sure that I would be able to get that done again.

I like the gun and always wanted a mag-fed 12g shotgun. It definitely fills that role. However, if I wanted a semi-auto and reliability was my main concern, I would always go toward a Mossberg 930/Benelli/Etc.

Good to hear! Which shells did it struggle with and which seemed to have the lowest failure rate? I just looked online and found fury 1&2 10 round mags on J&G sales for 35 in stock if you're looking to pick up more

I've fired a friend's and it wasn't bad. Very very picky with ammo but they may make a reliability kit like they do for saigas that may help with the problem

It didn't cycle well with the bird shot, but did fine with buck shot

I have the Lynxxe pump action. I know, not a Fury but it's Catamount. I have found it to be a great buy especially at < $200. I would not have a semi-auto shotty for anything other than range amusement though.

Does anyone know any bullpup kits that would be compatible with the Fury 1?

i would talk with Greg Queen at CarolinaShootersSupply.com . They handle Fury parts, as well as Saiga parts. His knowledge and service, I have found to be routinely excellent.

Awesome thank you for the referral I'll check in with him and see if there's anything I can do other than CBS and Kushnapup

I had one and loved it for the short time I owned it (only sold to clear up funds for an AR build). I put maybe 200 shells through it, all of them being cheap birdshot from WalMart. They actually have an adjustable gas block, so you should be able to get most anything to cycle. Just give it a good cleaning, oil it up, and run it.

I know they're a ***** to convert

If you want a fun range toy that you won't do much with, then go for it. If you want to really modify it, then i'd get a VEPR or a Saiga.

 

[Jet19912]

Yeah I found a vepr for 250 more than I paid for the Fury a week after I bought it.

An idea of the amount of work just for the trigger. It's similar to the saiga, just more grinding and fitting.

I'm a little late on the thread, but I put 100 rounds of Buckshot through it and it worked very well until the spot welds on the dust cover on he recoil spring guide rod fell out. It didn't seem to serve a purpose so I continued shooting after a quick look over and ran flawlessly. It's a lot of fun to shoot. Heard high brass is necessary.
