Anyone looking for a set? I was going to buy and kit out an 11 inch but no longer will. I have a set new in package and in the shipped baggy. $110 shipped if interested dm me
I have one up for sale if anyone is interested.
It appears that a bunch of 14" 7.62s are available around the webs. I've been looking for one for quite some time (assuming I can now find an AK lower). Would be looking to also P&W to 16" if anyone has thoughts on that.
Anyone know more info? New batch? Old Stock released? If new, any changes/updates known to increase reliability?
Hi guys, I’m kind new to gun so this could be a dump question. I recently purchased this oem stock from a guy and is this normal?
I just want to bought a Bren 2 14.5 inch barrel version. Do I have to remove bayonet lug to install HB handguard?
My Bren 2 - 8” in 5.56. Aimpoint ACO, Streamlight, YHM, RRA A2 Riser.
With the limited foregrip mounting options, I’m looking at making my own hand-stop for the 11” brens. For now I’ve modified a magpul polymer AFG to make it fit to OEM hand guard using 2 screws so I can see how it feels. Plan is to machine a custom hand stop out of aluminum.
What do you guys think?
Looking for an aftermarket trigger for my CZ Bren 2. Any recommendations?
Noticed something new yesterday while firing my Bren 2 Ms 7.62x39mm 11" barrel. The gas block, barrel, handguard and all internals and lower are all OEM from CZ - the only thing I have changed on the rifle is to switch out the OEM selector switch to a Neoteric Designs selector. I will add that my rifle was purchased in early 2024, so it's the later gas block design with three settings.
Previously when firing the rifle, there would be little to no flash at all - when I did see anything it was barely perceptible and always near the muzzle. Yesterday while observing my friends I brought to the range shooting the Bren, I noticed what looks like a lot of ignited gases coming off the rifle in the general area of the gas block. At times it would be quite small - at others it would be very visible- larger than some muzzle flashes I've seen with other rifles. It did not appear to affect the functioning of the rifle - we shot 60 rounds at a relatively slow, measured rate and every round cycled properly.
The flash was too quick to pin down exactly where it seemed to be coming from, but it was definitely NOT coming out of the muzzle - it was near the gas valve control.
This is an effect I have not seen (or at least don't recall seeing) before in shooting 300 rounds through my Bren previously. I did not think to check (until just now) whether the gas valve had accidentally been switched to the "-" or "+" setting from the standard "1" setting. I am aware that gas is supposed to vent out the gas block area with short stroke gas piston rifles; I have one other rifle based on the AR-180 which has a similar system. I have not previously observed ignited gases coming from the gas block, though I have seen objects and debris be affected by (non-visible) gases vented by the gas block in both this rifle and the AR-180-based rifle.
I did not film the effect because I only noticed it towards the end of the shooting session and I didn't want to disrupt my friends' enjoyment of the rifle. Next time I take the rifle shooting I will try to film it.
Ammution being used was PRVI PPU 7.62x39 PSP - I have used this ammo for the majority of shooting with the Bren I have done.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated - even if it's something like, "that's perfectly normal, don't worry about it."
No idea where it went. Does this happen often? Or user error
I have one of the longle break lowers and i really like it but i kinda wanna swap the mag release paddle to one thats longer or more solid i guess? Just curious if anyone here had tried to swap it out or if thats a no go
I got a new f5 brace for my Bren and I somehow lost the spring and detent (got new ones from cz) but they didn’t send another pin. I was wondering if anyone knew it the kns pin will work for the rear also. If not does anyone know where I can get one?
Just wondering how many people here had gas block shattering on their Bren 2 556 with a 8 inch barrel or 11 and if so at what round count. Wondering if I should be cautious and change it for a upgraded one. Thanks!
