Holy shit! Ran some drills with the Bren today and this thing is buttery smooth. I shot the Bren and the SCAR back to back and I can honestly say I like the Bren better, you don't feel the bolt reciprocating as much as you do on the SCAR. I can't wait to get my stamp back and really put it to the test of running a high round count class.

DO EEEET, this thing just today climbed the go to carbine ladder. I don't really rely on a gun unless I've taken it to a class, and hopefully this fall when the stamp is back I can make that happen. I haven't been this excited about a gun in a long time. |

They will continue to ship in batches as they get the parts to build on. I think I'm going to head to a local CZ dealer I located from their website and try to get a FDE rifle on order. This seems like the best way to get my hands on one. |

Yes, the SCAR to me shoots smoother when the bolt is going backwards but when it goes forward you get a second impulse. That secondary impulse didn't happen with the Bren. |

Just shot an 805 post sample at a local range.
On two shot burst it was amazingly smooth and grouped very nicely. I think a binary trigger would fit this gun very nicely. Stock did seem a little wobbly and a smigeon over complicated. Other than that I think I am in lust.

I just dropped my barrel off at the gunsmith, I'm using a Griffin can so luckily they already make a 14x1 muzzle device. I've also been talking to Griffin on a way to suppress this gun and have been forwarding the ideas to my smith.
We decided to go with a long custom bushing to keep the factory barrel stock. Our other alternative was to cut the barrel and shave the taper down to create a shoulder for the device to mount to. So I'll keep everyone posted on how it comes out. |

An odd choice of thread pitch for a modern 5.56 firearm Unlike the older ones, the new 2016 models (SKU 91361) have 1/2x28 threads. The only other change (other than a slightly more matte black finish on the upper) for this year was the addition of folding sights. Well worth it too - they are much nicer than the ones on my Evo. |

ETA: for suppressor use you need a shoulder for the MD to but up against. |

The holes are not there at all. The magwell isn't drilled. It is a single pin that goes through the magwell and the lower. You have to drill the magwell . I just halfass measured and eyeballed it and used a small manual handdrill, was no problem but not sure why CZ doesnt drill them.
