I have an ACE.
The stock on it sucks but outside of that I like it plenty. It's like a FAL that shoots cheaper ammo, pretty accurate too! |

Id go with the ACE now and wait for the Bren 2.
With some aftermarket support, I think the ACE is going to be outstanding. Id have one already if it werent for the fact that the lower makes it so you cant use Circle 10 waffle mags. |

What changes does the Bren 2 offer over current model? Once I decide which of these to go with then I have to decide rifle or pistol then submit form 1. Too many choices

After handling both and actually shooting a Bren .....neither bring anything game changing to the table at $1900 3x the price of a AR.
Of the two for just something different too shoot over a AR and with a big bank account I'd take the Bren. |

Get the ACE now as there is not a already upgraded ACE version 2.0 like there is with the 805 and 806.
In my book Bren 806 > ACE > 805 That being said either gun is pretty damn amazing. |

Non-reciprocating charging handle, and a bolt release I believe. However, it'll be a at least a year, probably two before they get here, and that's if Hillary doesn't stop that before the time even comes. I'd say it's 50-50 if we ever see them. |

As a disinterested third party of both platforms, I'd go with the Bren 805.
You mention suppressing it. The ACE will not run suppressed based on the reviews I've seen. Rifle is overgassed for reliability's sake, but the back pressure of a silencer increases the bolt velocity too much and it can't feed. I had high hopes for the platform as a good path to suppressed 7.62x39 but it isn't to be. I have a modified 556R that has an extra position drilled on the gas plug that was about as small as I could get done but still untested. 805 suppresses just fine. It's heavy and has some goofy features, but I like the FS2000 so I can't deride goofy features too much.

If a suppressor is mandatory that almost disqualifies the Ace at the moment, until they can fix the back pressure issue.

Neither ring my bell. They are both heavy and the Bren needs special tools to maintain the bolt.
SCAR would be my choice. |

If I can find one of those ACR stock adapters for the Bren then my choice is complete. If not, I may go with the ACE first. Though I dislike the ACE stock even more than the factory Bren stock which I am also not a fan of. But the ACR stock on the Bren is the cats meow to me. |

Of the two... Bren
Galil belongs in 5.56 like the original, until then I have zero interest (and probably still wont) Also the ammo price argument is negligible, SGAmmo has both calibers $0.22/rd Do you have a bullpup OP? AUG Tavor Just a thought |

I think I've tracked down a ACR stock adapter for the Bren so once I for sure have that, I will purchase a Bren pistol, do the form 1 and wait. Perhaps the ACE will Christmas gift or tax return purchase depending on how things go. |

Out of the two I say the ace. It's lighter, it's insanely simple to maintain, every aspect is over engineered. There are two universal stock adapters available now for under $40. There are several key mod front ends in the works.

Both are fine rifles. I recently had this same decision. As much as I love Galils I went with the Bren. Both have their pros and cons but the Galil had more cons for me. They went out of their way to make that thing look odd. I could probably get over that but the weird magwell makes it so I can't use my favorite mags. All said and done when I do get the Galil I'd rather have it in 5.56. Maybe by then they will take care of some of the ugly features on it too.

I ended up ordering a Bren pistol. I will submit form 1 and have it engraved in the coming weeks. I have the ACR stock adapter on order and plan to add the ACR stock, a MI M-Lok side and bottom rails, a Silencerco ASR muzzle brake and put a Vortex Viper 1-4 with LaRue mount on it. I'll still likely get the Galil Ace one day but this one won out this round of "Which one"

Sounds like a good plan. I'm interested in seeing it with the stock change. |

Actually, more like 3 years - the people I spoke to said CZ isn't really moving on the 806 yet, other irons in the fire right now. |
