The "order" is actually a "backorder" and they are shipped as the orders are received as they receive them from the manufacturer.

FilthyMcnasty, kind of....

ATF NFA markings have to be on the barrel or receiver/frame.

Europe defines "receiver or frame" as the "pressure containing module", hence why CZ pistols have their serials engraved on the slide/barrel.

USA ATF dictates the "frame or receiver" as the device that contains the fire control group.

Hence why CZ handguns have S/N stamped slides/barrels but American made (non imported) firearms do not.

Best conclusion I've been able to make based on my research anyways, hence why I asked.

I ordered one about three weeks ago and it arrived in just over one week. When I ordered mine it was $155 plus $25 shipping. Very reasonable.

I see now that the stock is currently out of stock as of 2/10 but the price has jumped to $195 plus shipping, which is the same price as the carbine stock. Not happy with the price increase but it's still reasonable considering the possibility that if biden cuts off foreign imports of gun parts as he is threatening, it might not be available at all in the future. Whether the stock is in stock or not, you can still order it and it will be shipped when it is available, which seems to be pretty regularly.

Yep.  I've had two BR stocks on order for over a month.

It certainly would give them a better foothold at getting it done.  I know they used to require US facilities to produce small arms, which is where we got Beretta and FN setting up large US plants to produce the M9, M249, M240, M2, M4, and M16.

That said, with the M17/M18 settled, they're not going to be winning any big handgun tenders.  We've seen the multiple goat ropes that have come from trying to replace the M4/M16 that leave everyone with blue balls.  I don't think the NGSW is going to end up being a huge replacement program, more like a specialized solution to the "using old M14s for everything sucks" problem they have.

From a .gov standpoint, I could see them trying to revitalize Colt's M4/M16 production to make them competitive in those contracts again.  Maybe take the innovation from Colt Canada and bring it to the US.  They've stagnated, have extreme labor costs, and are using tired equipment.  If CZ swoops in and breathes life into that, they could be very successful in military and law enforcement again.

Commercially, they've been successful with their Dan Wesson lines.  Colt's been sitting on a gold mine with the Python and Anaconda while they're too busy trying to run the rest of their business into the ground.  Competing in the basic AR market is a race to the bottom now, but again, they could take a lot of the innovation on the Colt Canada side and bring it to the US commercial market.  I don't need another basic M4 but some of the newer designs would be pretty enticing.  Aside from the Bren 2 at $2k, CZ is not competing in the semi auto rifle space very aggressively.  Having a US factory to produce Bren 2s would be advantageous as well.  I think FN and IWI have proven you can sell semi auto designs at multiple price points without eating into your own markets.

Sort of.  NFA marking can be on 1 of 4 different named components, separated by commas.  Barrel, slide, frame, receiver.
The ATF is all over the place as to what constitutes the receiver.  We have a actual legal definition, but AR lower receivers do not fit that definition, so legally should not be considered firearms receivers.  But the ATF has decided they are, so they are the serialized part of the gun.  Except in the case of when guns are built using an AR lower and then an upper than supplies its own magazine, like a 50MBG or 5.7mm using P90 mags.  In that case, the upper in the firearm, and what is the lower?

And then you have guns like the thompson, which was the popular gun when the NFA was signed into law, and one of the main motivators for the NFA.  According to all the technical drawings and plans, the receiver is the bigass block of steel that houses the bolt and where the magazine attaches and the barrel screws on.  The frame is a completely different part.  It is the part that houses the fire control components.  The serialized part of the tommy gun is the receiver.  The gun does have separate frame, barrel, and receiver, and according to The Man, any of those parts are allowed to be used for NFA engraving.  And according to the drawings and diagrams for the CZ scorpion, the part everybody calls a bolt is actually called the "slide", and the bolt catch is called the "slide stop".  Therefore, if one were inclined, they could do their NFA engraving on the scorpion evo's bolt, and still be within the letter of the law as far as the ATF goes.

The first order of business should be for CZ to get Colt the fuck out of CT and move the whole kit & kaboodle down to Arkansas. As the Small Arms Solutions guy says, Colt has already run off all their top engineers and management and the workers are firmly entrenched in unions operating antiquated equipment. The libtard Northeast is a toxic environment for any gun manufacturer.

I can actually personally verify they made them in different thread pitches probably depending on the barrel length. I have a 2S 14" that is 1/2x28 (yes, you read that correctly) and I have a 2S 11" that is 14x1LH.

Looks like Zack has left the chat.  CZ-USA could at least provide some sense of courtesy and mass-email those who returned their Bren 2's a weekly update or status.  

My Bren 2S is sitting in the safe, waiting like everyone else for the 'warranty fix' - whatever that may be - to be finalized, along with SPARE PARTS!  If it was a normal 2Ms, it would have been returned for a full refund a long time ago.  

This company essentially left us all in the dark during one of the most critical time periods in US history.

Right now? No, not until I get about another 100-200 flawless rounds through it. So far it has been doing exactly as advertised. Today was another 50, while my best friend used up some more reloads in my P-10C. Once I get enough through it to be satisfied with it's performance, as I would any firearm, AND get rid of that crappy green dot SIG MSR and replace it with a solid Romer5, then yes, I wouldn't have any problem as a go to, as it is light, comfortable and so far, reliable.

Attachment Attached File


80 yards off hand with said green dot - I had a REALLY nice group from the very first run, but of course I painted it over waiting for a better one. This was average. Target is 3/4 scale IDPA. Of course according to the internet, I can't shoot at all, and should be relegated to the shallow end of the gene pool.

Honestly, I think my biggest problem with this firearm is the dot. Other than that, it is just as advertised.

Awesome. How long did it take them? I opted for the exchange and gave them the info about a week ago, figured I’d probably be waiting another month or two at least.

I jumped in early and it was a few months. Stuff isn't coming in as fast as anyone would like from the Czech Republic, and a LOT of attention has been focused on the Colt acquisition.

Their payment process is a bit weird.   When I ordered, I basically went through an online shopping cart checkout process but like you, they did not collect any payment information during it.  You only select a "Online Payment" option.  Then after I completed that process by clicking the "Finish the order" button,  I was taken to a 3rd party payment processor by the name of Barion to complete my payment with a Credit Card.

I had the same problem and was never sent payment information and there was no link to 'online payment'. I emailed their customer service and they replied that they have had problems with their payment service and that I should reorder.  The second attempt sent me to Barion payment processing as was earlier reported. After completing the payment process, all went smoothly.

I realize that. Was just making an observation based on the pic you posted. The missing factory sights would be something to consider prior to purchasing as they are substantially more expensive than the MBUS shown in the pic.

I have to say yes. I have been very impressed by the Virtus, until the Robinson shows up anyway... I'm hoping for very good things from the XCR

With that said, I still like my Triarc DI guns, but the Virtus and even the PWS is really where it's at for me.

I heard the Virtus was really front end heavy but a great gun. Right now my go to is Knights Armament Sr-15 11.5". Great guns. My Bren 2 with 8000 rounds has near zero wear on the lugs or barrel extension and has been flawless but concerning how Cz has treated its customers.  :(

It's really not that bad plus the heavier front helps keep the gun on target. It takes some getting used to, but it works quite well.

I like the Brens but I'm cutting my losses. I have the wear on the lugs on two guns already. It's not as bad as the others posted but it's there.

CZ is basically going to warranty replace these entire pistols before this is over.

I would never consider a Bren 2 in 5.56.  LMT, Geissele, Knights, there are too many proven manufactures here in the US with outstanding customer service.
