The install was an absolute nightmare, but really liking the HBI handguard. CZ torqued those T25 screws to gorilla spec. Two of them stripped and ultimately I had to have my friend weld on a washer to spin them out.

I got Preston Precision pic rails for mine and stripped two myself while taking off the MLok rails. But for me I took a dremel and cut a thin line into the head of the screws then heated them up and removed them with a flathead. It was a major pain in the ass, though. |

I’ve been considering getting an 11” and SBRing it, keeping it in basic military format just to have one.
Anybody with a Bren 2 11” 5.56 have any complaints with theirs? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Super_Trouper: I’ve been considering getting an 11” and SBRing it, keeping it in basic military format just to have one. Anybody with a Bren 2 11” 5.56 have any complaints with theirs? I like mine but I've only had it for a few months and haven't put a lot of rounds through it (800 or so). Good suppressor host with the HBI plug and the trigger is really good for a military style rifle (especially with the HBI trigger shoe). I like the fact that it's lighter than its non-AR competitors. |

I SBR'd my 11" Bren 2 a few months ago and its one of my favorite guns to shoot. I installed the 922r kit, HBI trigger and suppressor gas piston and I like how light and handy it is. My only complaint is that it's only 3 moa accurate but I mainly use it for practical shooting and lots of steel targets so it fits my needs perfectly.

I have 4 Bren 2s, one SBR, and other 3 with permanently attached muzzle devices to make them rifles. One is in 762 and I like them all. Also have. Bren 805 SBR.
I’m certain that Bren 2 is here to stay. It has been adapted by few countries as primary issue rifle. Unlike Sig 556, it was an interpretation of Swiss 55x poorly executed by Sig US for domestic market. I have 2 of them, one converted to 551 LB clone. To be honest they aren’t bad rifles but not what people wanted. |

Here's some info that I had come up with a couple years ago for the torque values on the handguard Link I have the new 10.8" handguard and the torque setting for it is 45 in/lb - Although I didn't do that. Just an FYI: CZ Spec on those four barrel screws is 70 in/lb I torqued in values of 5 in/lb increments up to 70 in/lb, which is factory spec. While torqueing, made sure barrel was seated properly, BCG assembly with recoil spring inserted / bolt was in chamber... ie, removed lower. At 65 and 70 in/lb, there was resistance on the charging handle and BCG. It was not smooth. So I took it all apart, added new Nord-Lock washers, made sure barrel was seated properly, BCG assembly with recoil spring inserted / bolt was in chamber and did it again to confirm. Confirmed not smooth. At 60 in/lb, no resistance, smooth normal function. I took it all apart again, added new Nord-Lock washers, made sure barrel was seated properly, BCG assembly with recoil spring inserted / bolt was in chamber and torqued to 60 in/lb. All smooth. All good. |

First day of the match was heavy pouring rain too, I left it on the rack uncovered to kinda test its might in not normal conditions. 0 issues. I feel bad for you guys with x39's who have issues, b/c this is a fricken great gun! |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cz357: Speaking of stocks, did CZ ever release different cheek pieces for the BR stock? I want to set mine up as a night gun, but the BR stock puts you inline with the top picatinny rail which makes even a 2.26 mount seem a little low. Pulling off the standard cheek piece helps, but looks kind of ugly. I could just wrap it with something, but it would be nice if there was an actual low rise version of the cheek piece. Have you seen the Neoteric Designs adjustable cheek riser? https://neotericdesigns.net/shop/ols/products/cz-bren-2-br-stock-cheek-riser

Yours may be a bit more extreme than most but all mine (all 5.56mm) have it to some extent. Order spares from CZ-USA parts Don't think that's a warranty issue but you could try. The stock adapter is shit... That is all. Haga has a wobble kit, oos most of the time or you could just stick some tape or something in gap. |
