I swapped the mag well to the kit from CZ with the original mags as I just like oddball shit better than standard stuff. Was very easy to do. You have to drill the pin holes though as for whatever reason CZ doesn't do that. <a href="http://s53.photobucket.com/user/byoung93888/media/DSCF4023_zpsea1yycmf.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/byoung93888/DSCF4023_zpsea1yycmf.jpg</a> 5 mags and the magwell for $150 is a pretty damn good deal. |

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. Ok, thanks! what size bit did you use? |

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 definitely looks the same. Though it was black not FDE. Took a good long look at it before I shouldered the gun. Sorry I don't have any pictures of me shooting the thing. I don't usually take pics at indoor ranges for a variety of reasons. Definitely looks like a derivative of an AR stock alright. That trigger is way nicer than I expected. Really felt like a knockoff of a Geissle two stage.

fustercluck (or whomever) are these CZ mags truly proprietary or are they "well it's not a G36 mag but don't tell your G36 that..."

I think he might be referring to the almost waffle design of the folder for the BREN 806. That rifle isn't even in the dream line for import to the US right now, sorry.
I do have to say, with direct experience, I have no issues with the stock. It locks in place firmly, feels comfortable, and the cheek rest swaps right to left with ease. I lack the years of experience found here with most military style folding stocks - last one I had was a Zahal poly joint folding stock with cheek riser for my vz-58. That one was OK. The BREN stock stock, (sounds goofy, doesn't it?), to me, is just fine. Your mileage, of course, may vary.

I'm not Trying to blow anyone's mind but the stock for the 806 has the same hinge so it could be imported as a kit and used with the 805.. It just seems better to me being one peice. Also, if the upper is serialized, they maybe could import just the 806 lower to work with the 805 upper, maybe with slight modification from cz. You can import that kind of stuff much easier even if the 806 isn't approved yet. |

There's more to the 806 than the trigger housing and stock; the receiver and its associated parts have seen some extensive modifications to reduce weight and alter or add features. |

Yes I know that, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be done either. That why I said "might" about the lower reciever. However, I think the stock would work pretty easily from what can see.

Knocked the pin out of the AR housing and now both housings just clip in and off for an easy change out. I tried pulling on the housing to see if it would move when installed on the rifle and it does not. So why they pinned the AR mag well I'm not sure, unless it was a goofy ATF requirement for import. Anyways question for you...did you notice your Bren mags are little hard to remove when clipped in your gun? Mine seems to be stiff, looks like that little plastic notched tab on the back of the mags could use some 200 grit sanding a tad. I can push in on the flapper mag release but still need to nudge the mag forward to get it to clear the latch to drop/pull out. Other than that they lock in fine and seem secure. It's a very nice looking setup! Very G36ish style! |

Does the magwell come ready to assemble onto the trigger housing? Does it need to be drilled to install? What exact part or area "needs" drilling? Some pictures could help clear up this issue. |

On your factory stanag magwell on your Bren PS1 there is a pin you have to knock out before you can slide the magwell off the lower. The pin goes through both sides of the magwell and the lower. The new magwell does not have the hole for the pin drilled so if you want to reinstall the factory pin you have to drill the hole through the new magwell.

Also, most pictures do show the pin. But I did see some military 805 pictures that did not have the pin on the original housing. I don't believe it's needed and it does make changing from AR type to Bren type housings a breeze. Choice is yours. There must be a reason why CZ decided to not drill these housings. I think its just not needed now for whatever reason.

Has anyone tried adding a suppressor mount to their Bren yet? I came across some postings over in the Griffin Armament section in the Industry forum showing that the threads are a bit long on these. I'm curious if it is easier to get the 14x1 thread pattern version, add an adapter then the mount or get the 1/2x28 version and have it cut down to add the mount. Or option C, just get the 1/2x28 and add my mount. For reference, I'm looking at getting this but would want to add an AAC 51t mount.
Thanks! |

If you read my thread in the Griffin forum, you'll see no matter what thread pitch you get there's modification needed. The threads are just to long so you have 3 options to get it suppressor ready. You can either cut the barrel down and use a 14x1 mount, have the threads cut down to .5x28, or in my case I'm making a threaded sleeve that butts up to the piston assembly to give me a shoulder for my 14x1 mount. You can see that thread is very informational because the Griffin guys were trying to work with me to figure out the best way to do it. The way I'm doing it the barrel will not be modified, so if it doesn't work I can modify the barrel as a last ditch effort. I'll keep that thread updated with the process and provide lots of pics when it's done. |

The plus side to the Bren is it's super slick feel as far as charging goes and recoil. |

You could probably use an AAC flash hider or Brakeout 2 mount on the 1/2x28 version without shortening the barrel at all. On other guns with barrels that either don't have a shoulder to seat the mount against or have longer threads like these 805 pistols, AAC has recommended that it can seat on the muzzle face as long as it's square. I say either flash hider or Brakeout 2 mount because those wouldn't need to be timed. If it's a regular brake, you need to time it with shims which will require a shoulder to seat against.
If I had the 805 version with 1/2x28 threads, I'd probably put a flash hider mount on and seat it against the muzzle face. Then carefully check the bore alignment with the can mounted. Even if you shorten the barrel, there isn't a proper shoulder back there to seat on so you'll likely need to do something besides cutting it down...something else to keep in mind. This is just, like, my opinion, man. ETA: I saw pics of an 805 pistol with M14x1 threads that had been shortened and threaded to 1/2x28. It looked good, though I've also heard that going from M14x1 down to 1/2x28 isn't possible to do correctly. I'm not a machinist, so I can't say...but the pics I saw looked like normal 1/2x28 muzzle threads. |

Not having an 805 of my own but spending quite a lot of time looking at photos and schematics and reading anecdotal experiences, my best educated guess is the mag well is pinned to keep soldiers from taking it apart and losing it, or somehow mis-installing it to cause reliability issues. It's probably not intended to be a field-swappable component. Pinning a component that doesn't absolutely require it is usually a sign of "don't mess with this" from above. Turning your fancy 805 carbine into the world's most tactical single-load is probably not a fun experience for anyone. Be interesting to see if the G36 mag well ever turns up. It was a design feature given the prevalence of the G36 in Euro arsenals but I haven't found an example of it in the various markets yet. |

The pistol has to long a thread to install a muzzle device correctly. The 2016 pistol version. I took off the brake and put on an AAC flash hider instead. AAC recommended the flash hider on the tavor due to its long threads, so I figure it should be fine on the bren if it has the same issue. Plus I would feel less bad sending my aac can downrange compared to the saker. |

What's all this talk about the threading not being friendly to suppressors? I just installed a saker brake yesterday. Am i going to send my can flying downrange now? Do you have a pistol or a rifle?

That's the problem the 2015 version had, my barrel is with my machinist now, he's making a threaded collar for my MD to butt up against. |

AAC has said to seat the mount on the muzzle face if the threads are too long or there is no shoulder, which is fine as long as the face is square and you don't need to time the mount.

Quote HistoryQuoted: If you thought Brens were hard to get now, wait until our new parts launch These are some quick shots I toook with my Iphone while our in house photo and graphics people were using the fancy setup with a green screen background for their work. Manticore M-LOK Forend and Slider Stock. Froend should be roughly 8 weeks out, the stock we aren't sure yet, likely mid summer. More details at NRA 2016 Sven Manticore Arms http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p296/Dawg180/IMG_6985.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p296/Dawg180/IMG_6986.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p296/Dawg180/IMG_6988.jpg Yaaassssss Love it. Think you guys could bevel or round off the front of the forward-most metal piece? There's a lot of movement of the hand there charging the handle, and the flat front with sharp corners looks less than inviting. It's a very small point, but it did sort of stick out. And color matching. Killer design. Didn't see it comin. |

If sven is still taking ideas for bren upgrades I would like captive pins for the lower and maybe a new selector switch? I'm guessing those kind of parts are just too small to redesign though.

Slider Stock. <a href="http://s131.photobucket.com/user/Dawg180/media/IMG_6985.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p296/Dawg180/IMG_6985.jpg</a> The neck weld on this looks absurd; even the old/scorpion low profile irons would be too high with this stock. |

Had more fun with the BREN today, but none of my first handloads showed any serious promise. 1 in 7 twist barrel, so maybe some 62 grainers might be a better idea.
