Century Arms Centurion BP-12

If anyone is having issues with this particular firearm, you most likely haven't field stripped the weapon and cleaned the cosmoline out correctly, or you aren't using the proper ammunition. This is so excellent shotgun and seems to only be receiving poor reviews because of operator error.

Totally Awesome Addition to anyone's Self Defense Collection!!! Fired everything from 00 Buckshot to #8 shot Dove & Quail Loads - Flawless operation every time. ONLY NEGATIVE ...... DO NOT FIRE from the Left Shoulder - I am left-handed & the spent hull hits just about nose high when fired from the left side!! A MUST HAVE for everyone in today's world !!!

Pretty good. Get the cosmoline cleaned out and cock back the buffering spring for a week and you will have no issues.

Weapon appears to be nicely made of quality materials. My issue with the weapon is that it will not cycle properly using 2.75 short brass 12 ga ammo. Manual states that the weapon accepts all 2.75 and 3" 12 gauge ammo. I purchase the bullpup for ut semi-auto capabilities but have only ben able to use it by manually working the charging mechanism for loading cartridges. I've only put about 50 rounds throught it so far due to the lack of cycling. Overall disappointed and couldn't trust this weapon for home defense.

I have nothing but good things to say about PSA. My 3 star is not a reflection of them, rather my poor luck with a shotgun that developed issues. I was unlucky and received a shotgun that developed issues after about 100 rounds. Damage to the inside of the receiver and a hole in another part that could not be replaced. Century made good on their warranty. They are just taking a little while to send out a replacement to me. So Im still waiting on that. *These shotguns run well off high brass,

I expected a long break in period or to be feeding it the "good stuff" but I started with cheap 2.75" bird shot shells. This thing ran like a CHAMP! I had no feed issues or cycling problems. There are lots of reviews and videos explaining the out of the box issues but I experienced nothing but range joy. You really can't go wrong for the price. Get this puppy in your collection (when its available).

Charging the first round it jammed in a way it failed to feed. 15 rounds through this junk with the proper port for 2 3/4 shells I was trying to use and not a single one had the power to eject the empty and cycle in a new shell. One single time it reached back far enough to hang up just before passing far enough to eject empty and capture the next one. Other than having to cycle each shell by hand it went boom when I pulled the trigger but it was tough charging the next round. Springs were very

Not the top of the line bullpup shotgun out there but it was on sale for a price that I couldn't turn down. Functions and cycles well, had a couple shell ejection issues right out of the box but I haven't broken it in yet so I will reserve any judgement until later if it continues. Only real complaint is the barrel takedown pins are a two piece screw and threaded sleeve. I've been searching for a solid push pin replacement that does not require any tools to remove.

Cycles great. However, I recommend breaking it down and cleaning it. That will remove the issue of cycling. I own two of these and ran about 250 through one and close to 400 on the other with no issues. I use black ace ammo, it seems to eat through it with no issues.
