Finally picked up the 5.56 in 11”. This thing oozes quality. Haven’t shot it have to figure out a brace setup and don’t really care for the factory tube adapter.
Just a quick question. I ended up getting the heavy piston spring from HBI when I was getting several other parts. Is there any benefit to using it on my gun? And the next is to swap muzzle devices. Will I need a barrel vise or will soft jaws clamped firmly get me by? I plan on putting a q cherry bomb on and getting the piston drilled at HBI. |

I never purchased any of those springs for my Brens, so I don’t have anything to add to that, but I would recommend removing the barrel, and using a vice no when swapping muzzle devices. |

You guys who have 14" Bren 2 MS' in 5.56 and pin/welds... what muzzle device length is needed to get the barrel length over 16" with a pin and weld?

My dead air flash hider got it to almost 16 and 3/4s I believe. Ill have to remeasure. But a dead air flash hider will usually put a 13.9 over whats needed.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By IronBalaclava: 31 days for the stamp, E-file. Only thing I regret, is the useless 8" barrel(should have at least gone with an 11"). I don't believe the compact size outweighs the garbage external and terminal ballistics you'll get out of an 8", so it's strictly a range toy at this point. The HB Industries 7.8" M-Lok Handguard is super slick-love it, and it's night and day over the factory HG. Only issue is that there's not enough clearance for a Surefire Scout M300 type with the Direct Light Mount version. Material needs to be removed from the front of the HG to allow the bezel/light head to clear properly. I'll probably add a Surefire SF3P muzzle device to utilize SF SOCOM556 RC2 at a later time. How are your 8" 5.56 guns running suppressed? Best aftermarket gas regulator? https://i.imgur.com/gq0XJtJ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xwETNIG.jpg Have you tried IMI razor core? 77g OTM.

That being said, MK262 77gr OTMs reliably frag under 100 with a 1/7" twist, 10.3" barrel. 10.3" being the shortest acceptable length per gov't standards(I use 10.3" Colt MK18s or KAC CQB 11.5"s for work/home defense). If someone can provide a link showing adequate, terminal ballistic performance/frag under 100, using 75 or 77 gr. OTM/BTHP from an 8" barrel, I'm willing to listen. Till then, just a fun range toy for me considering the alternatives. |

With the 8 and 7.5 inch barrels lighter bullets tend to work better than the heavier ones, 50 gr tsx and 53 grain Hornady (if you can find it) maintains rifle wound ballistics out to at least 100 and the barrier blind bullets still expand at a wider velocity threshold. I like my 8 inch more than my 11 but I think that’s because it is a more unique and usable configuration compared to comparable size guns. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tfdarchos: The cz factory fix has all 3 ports at unsuppressed shooting. My hbi drilling is still smaller than the smallest port on my new cz gas valve. I still get FTE after a few mags suppressed with the HBI gas valve and spring. 9" x39 Have you cleaned the ejector spring channel? The gas-port was never the issue. HBI solved this problem within a week, I have over 2,500 rounds through my Bren 2S (7.62x39) without an FTE, both suppressed & unsupressed. Prior to cleaning the ejector spring channel, it would FTE every 5-rounds. This is on an 11" Bren 2S, but it's the same issue on the 9" & 14" models. Overall, CZ-UB / CZ-USA royally screwed us over by providing zero support for this platform in regards to spare parts & completely incompetent warranty service. Over two years later, and we still can't even buy a spare ejector spring, extractor, bolt, gas regulator, carrier, etc. it's like - seriously!? While I absolutely love my Bren 2S, I'll never purchase another CZ product or recommend them to anyone. |

I'm not talking about issues with the guns which yeah the people with the x39 guns were left in the cold. The 5.56 guns work, though. I am speaking to spare parts because people are talking about how CZ doesn't have any spare parts available for the Bren series. B&T doesn't have much for the APC223, and certainly almost nothing is available for the APC308. |

...and speaking of the Bren I am not sure if anyone here is on Reddit but a apparently ex CZ-USA employee did an AMA on the CZ subreddit and released a lot information. Take stuff with a grain of salt obviously, but one of the things he mentioned was CZ will stop importing the Bren to focus on government contracts and supply of them to Ukraine. He also mentioned a Scorpion Evo 4 which will use a different system than blowback, and it sounds like CZ got rid of the Arkansas plant and will move US production of CZ guns to the Colt facility.
https://www.reddit.com/r/CZFirearms/comments/wlsf49/ex_czusa_employee_ama/ Here is his post prior to deleting it: Hello all! Now that the severance checks have cleared, I thought it would be a fantastic time to do an AMA. Colt-CZ Group in its infinite wisdom, decided to hand control of US operations to back-to-back bankruptcy champion Colt, who proceeded to remove all production from CZ-USA and lay off the assembly staff. Things of note: Last I heard Bren importation has ceased. No more US made P-10's of any flavor save for everyone's favorite P-10M that might be built to eat up left over parts. Scorpion 3plus will be manufactured in small numbers in Connecticut by Colt and the 3plus magazine change was to ease transition to the Evo 4. Ask me anything and let's see if I can answer without getting sued! Then this guy followed up by apparently bringing some of the stuff the ex employee mentioned to CZ and they confirmed the move to Colt manufacturing, but didn't comment on the Bren importations being ceased... https://old.reddit.com/r/CZFirearms/comments/wp8v5r/cz_usa_cant_handle_criticism/ |

I just picked up a Bren 2Ms 16" carbine in 5.56. Does anybody know why my 5.56 rifle has the AK-style gas tube positions? According to the owner's manual, the 5.56 model should have "1" "2" "0" and "T" positions and the 7.62x39 model should have "1" "-" and "+" positions, which mine has.

Each gas port gets bigger. Originally the Bren 2 Carbine had 3 settings - Normal, Suppressor, and Off. Based on the port sizes on the Carbine now I'd think "1" would be the standard gas setting, "-" would be the suppressor setting, and "+" would be the adverse setting. |

We don't know if the gun is actually discontinued. Wait and see what happens when CZ releases their 2023 price sheet. I would imagine they are reorganizing sku's. They do this basically every year. If you want one, get one. Just be aware of the fact that you may never be able to get spare parts for it. Realistically, these guns should last a lifetime depending on how often you shoot. My 7.62X39 Bren 2 before it went back had over 7k rounds on it. Granted, it didn't work but I made it through 7k rounds lol. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Wetfuego: Thinking about grabbing an 11" 5.56 and putting the HBI G36 stock on it. Has anyone ran the G36 stock? Any thoughts on it? The lockup is completely solid and it feels like a fixed stock. It comes with a new shell deflector that’s supposed to hold the stock when folded, but mine lets go very easily. It doesn’t hold the stock open nearly as well as the original setup. Just tighten the hinge bolt and this won’t be a pro. The main drawback is the endcap is now held in place with a bolt instead of a clip. To remove the recoil spring and bcg, you now need a tool. |

The added step for disassembly is a bit of a hassle, but I never clean my rifles so it shouldn't be much of an issue. I'm pretty set on the 11 but keep glancing at the 14" for some reason. |

Well, forget about the G36 stock. Ended up picking up one of those 922r (lol) kits for the factory stock. Just need to decide what optic to go with. I have a Steiner MPS sitting around, or was thinking about grabbing another 2x Acog, or being cheap and picking up a GLx 2x for now.
