Frequently Asked Questions

How do you adjust the gas system on the Catamount Fury II shotgun?

The Catamount Fury II features a two-setting gas system. Use a flat-head tool, like from a Leatherman, to push the detent and rotate the mechanism. Setting #1 is for high-power loads (buckshot/slugs), and setting #2 is for lighter loads (birdshot/practice). Ensure the correct setting for reliable cycling.

What is the recommended ammunition for the Catamount Fury II?

For optimal reliability, the Catamount Fury II generally requires a minimum of 1 1/8 oz. loads. Loads of 1 oz. or less are not recommended. Matching the ammunition power to the gas system setting (high for heavy loads, low for lighter loads) is crucial for proper function.

What are the main differences between the Catamount Fury II and Fury I?

The primary difference lies in the magazine system. The Catamount Fury II uses proprietary polymer magazines with a polymer magwell, whereas the earlier Catamount Fury I featured a standard AK rock-and-lock magwell and accepted AK-style magazines.

What chokes come with the Catamount Fury II?

The Catamount Fury II shotgun includes three interchangeable choke tubes: Full, Modified, and Cylinder Bore. This allows for versatility in adapting the shotgun's pattern for different shooting distances and applications.
