Programming is being finished now and chips should be flying next week- they are a relatively short production run item compared to some of the other stuff we needed to make, so they got pushed back a few months while waiting for an open machine. Sven Manticore Arms |

Local shop has had a cz bren 805 s1 carbine sitting on the shelf for a long time. Usually marked for 1879.99. Every time I go in to the store I play with it. Well today I went in and it was marked at 1599.99. Needless to say it will be in my safe within the next day or so. I finally put a deposit on it since it was on sale. Didn't have enough cash to pay for it up front and don't like buying on credit cards. Can't wait.

If anyone wants a folding brace, there is plenty of material in the pistol rear adapter to mill it flat and drill two 10-32 holes for the mounting of a folding hinge, which you can mount a pistol tube to.

Again the BREN does a great job for me. Mine is, of course, extremely low tech with cheap optics, (Bushnell TRS-32 5MOA red dot), and the CZ supplied three point sling, which,yes, that is a rubber band hoding it on the stock, until I can come up with something else. Not being an "operator", I just make do.
Shots fired at 100 yards, front rested, seated, light wind, bright sunshine, and unmagnified. Load is 60+ year old Sierra 53gr HP over 26 gr of Win 748. 
I am well aware that compared to The Internet I suck, but I like to share once in a while. This rifle just doesn't quit, and is so much fun to shoot! |

Going to fire off a Form1 on the Bren 805 pistol with stock-stock.
Can someone give me the OAL for the Form1 on the 805 pistol with the factory folder stock, extended of course.... 34" seems to be the number I've found otherwise. |

And why is that? Some testing shows increased bore wear from ammo of this type. The propellant used may also be a contributing factor. YMMV. Edit to add: The most quoted test: https://www.luckygunner.com/labs/brass-vs-steel-cased-ammo/ |

IT seems like the one thing that just about everyone is asking for is the stock adapter for the ACR or other types but mainly ACR. Now that I have seen Mcbrides Bren with the ACE folder I am thinking that is another viable option as well as looking pretty damn cool.
Manticore has always been a company I respected for being out front making quality items for the other than AR market before everyone else catches up. I'm wondering why Manticore isn't putting out a stock adapter for the Bren. I'm not interested in arm braces or adapters to run AR style stocks but something that would look right on the Bren. I think that would sell pretty well especially since the other company clearly didn't make enough of the ACR adapters. |

Random bit of 805 trivia, I just learned tonight that the 805 A1 and A2 have NSN numbers, although only one of the NSN databases I tried
turned up a result: "Rifle, 5.56 mm". No further information besides that. Hmm. A1 : 1005-16-006-5526 A2 : 1005-16-006-5527 (Not super familiar with how the NSN system works, just found it interesting.) |

With a 2015 PS1 pistol with 14x1 thread pattern, is there anything special I need to consider for mounting a Dead Air 14x1LH flash hider? As far as I know the flash hiders don't need to be timed (correct me if wrong), so I would just remove factory muzzle brake, jam nut, and then torque the Dead Air device down on the threads to ~25lbs or whatever their spec is?
Fix my above thought process. I want to get a Sandman-K for my Bren. |
