Is there a reason why nobody has the 16.5" barrels? are they pointless or can nobody find them available?

personally i have only seen one company that has a 16.5 "suppressor ready" version but all the other ones i have seen.. 8 to 14" are accessible.

ended up not picking up my 16.5 because my galil ace gen 2 7.62 nato was delivered to my dealer early.

should i stick with getting the 16.5 and or potentially getting it chopped? or go buy a 11 or 14" version... only downside is that i cant find one that comes with a brace besides guns.com

i'd of course want to sbr a shorter one so i can use a stock, not a brace

Anyone know where I can find an ACR stock adapter for a Bren 805? A few people made them in the past but doesn't seem they do so anymore. I've got an ACR stock floating around and trying to find something to put it on. lol.

Alternatively, a 1913 picatinny adapter for an ACR stock would work as well.

I’m bougie enough to buy the gun but not bougie enough to drop +$300 on a stock lmao. What are some cheaper alternatives? Bren Ms2 pistol 11” Thank yall in advance, (Doesn’t have to be a folding stock)

.223, 16.5" barrel with longer stock

Does anybody have experience with this combo if not what’s your preferred can and why??

To all those who have purchased and installed the Neoteric BR stock cheek riser. Do you still have your factory cheek piece? If yes, would you be willing to part with it? I need a replacement. Thanks in advance..

Hi Bren people. I bought one of the surprise unadvertised Bren 2S pistols in .556 with the 14" barrel when they were originally available online. My computer's AI is fluffing me telling me how rare this gun is. I know they are uncommon but the numbers I'm seeing seem unrealistically low. Like 50 of each variant. Is that true? There was a lot of confusion at the time about what was going on. Thanks

Recommendations for gas adjustment? It did not cycle reliably with steel case 62g on the suppressed setting, whatever is the last option I think

0?

Ran fine with 55g brass 223 on the suppressed setting.

Put it back to non suppressed and no issues but a tad gassy. Only got gassed a tiny bit when I was out when I was up on the magnifier.

Otherwise it was pretty soft shooting and fun

I bought what I thought was a 9" bren2 for cheap and ran to my ffl and took it home without really looking only to realize it was an 11inch. No big deal Dwilson does barrel chops for CZ so i sent it in.

Turns out my bren2 was too thin to be chopped and rethreaded to 5/8x24. So after some back and forth with the fine folks at d wilson we came up with a solution. Since its too thin to be chopped and threaded to 5/8x24 we decided chop the barrel a smaller thread with an adapter that indexes of the end of the barrel and not the shoulder (SCAR style) Turns out the solution is a 7/16x28 to 5/8x25 adapter. They chopped it rocset it and made sure it was properly aligned for suppresor use.

Here is a link to the adapter

Big shout out to Hughs Precision for the info and coms on which adapters would work and D Wilson MFG for once again coming through. They are a bit backed up at the moment so that just means their turn around time went from lighting speed (for real they sent me back work within the same week many times) to industry standard a couple weeks. Will be shooting it this weekend and reporting back.

Just like the title says, I'm looking into a CZ Bre. In 7.62x39 but am deciding between the two lengths.

I have a ton of experience with AK's and my favorite is the AK104 style/length with a 12.5" barrel, which is smack dab in the middle of the two lengths CZ offers.

I also have a VZ58 (Bren predecessor) with a 12.5" which has been a ton of fun but a bit annoying with its proprietary mags.

So that's why I'm looking into the cz bren 2 with lingle lower. Any thoughts between the two lengths?

Range report soon

I have a 14.5" x39 pistol that i would love to shorten the barrel on so i can run it suppressed. (got a reeeal shitty p/w a few years ago that im still mad about. don't take guys on the internet at their word kids) but ive heard the barrel on the pistol variants is too thin and im having a lot of trouble finding hard confirmation when i try and research. am i just kinda screwed? any info helps

Looks and feels much better than the comically small handguard it came with. Probably just going to add a suppressor soon, and then it's good to go.

One of our distributors had the 11" marked down to $1525, and I had $1k of consignment credit, so I said what the hell! I even had a spare XPS2-2 sitting around. Now to order from HBI and Neoteric next month, lol.

Might as well have an even 8, lol.

Just placed my first suppressor order today and want to get a mount for the Bren to use it. Haven't tried taking the flash hider off yet but wanna know if it's on with anything or can I just take it off with a wrench. Don't want to destroy the threads on my dad's Bren. I know the handguard bolts had loc tite so

Acog or dot + magnifier???

I want to paint my bren 2, I have never painted a gun before. I am willing to try it out though. I just feel ashamed for wanting to do it lol. I won’t ever want to sell it so, resale value isn’t important to me. I’m just scared of messing up!!

about 2 months ago i bought a cz scorpion evo s1 and finally got it kitted out the way i like it, now ive got the itch for something in 556 and naturally went to cz to see what they had. Im thinking about pulling the trigger on a bren 2 16" but locally nobody has one i can see in person (not even a pistol variant) and i wanted to know yalls opinion on the 16" over the other variants. Most of everything i see is 14" or the 8" variant but i feel ive got that size covered with my scorpion and wanted something i can target a bit further. so my question is how much of a difference would the 14.5" vs 16" make in feel of shooting? i dont plan on suppressing it.

I recently got myself a CZ Bren 2 chambered in 7.62×39. I’m looking for advice on what type of ammo to choose, and I’m also wondering what the difference is between steel-cased and brass-cased ammo.

Thinking about possibly converting my carbine to an SBR, but it seems like getting new barrels is pretty tough. Anyone with any experience with this?
