I haven't seen the rifle version for sale yet, just the pistols. And since even those haven't been out that long, I doubt many have been converted to SBRs yet either.
From what I've read it's decent competition for the FN SCAR and Beretta ARX. Which is the best is another question. AJ |

All I see is the pistol version which is perfect, because I want to SBR it.

Quote HistoryOh believe me I have watched every vid on the gun I could find, consensus in the vids are that it's one of the smoothest shooters out. I just really wanted someone to tell me first hand. I will probably buy one just because I'm impulsive like that and I've found it at a good price. |

I'm holding out for a Bren 2. Might be waiting forever, but maybe I'll get lucky.
The Indians have a version of the Bren 2 in x39. I'd take one of those. |

While it does look better than the original (and in some ways is more user friendly), I can't help but wonder if the base reason for the "improvement" is cost driven. If that is the case, this expensive and smooth original just might be the "best of the breed". |

I have an 805 with the shockwave blade on it currently, I love that firearm! Very buttery smooth action and a blast to shoot! Mine has the 805 side rail panels plus 805 flash hider. Also Troy flip up battle sights with a Leupold Prismatic tactical optic. I may sbr it and add the 805 stock as well, but its super nice as is. Its another rifle that's built like a tank and very high quality.

The 806 is a big improvement and fixes most of the drawbacks (not that there was a lot). Give me the 806 and I will be a buyer.
It's boooooootiful!

I wish I could get an 806, but I don't think we'll see them for a few years. I'm SBRing the 805 so by time they come out I'll probably be buyer of the 806 also.
ETA: Rember when the 805 was first released, I had sticker shock looking at the $1982 msrp. It took awhile for the prices to come down, I picked mine up for $1394 delivered. |

One of my local shops (that is always overpriced) has one with a $1900+ price tag but it appears they can be had online for just over $1400.
CZ's website says that the the PS1 (SKU 91360) was "discontinued 2015, replaced with SKU 91361." What's the difference between the two? |

The problem is, I don't believe they've actually made the adapter yet. It makes the most sense for Kinetic Development Group to make the adapter since they already have a quality ACR-type stock made. Hope it becomes a reality. |

Its a great shooter, very smooth with low recoil. The trigger on mine is pretty good too. It's heavier than it needs to be, but not a huge deal. The fit and finish are top notch, and the plastic lower feels solid. KNS makes some parts for it. I pre-ordered mine through my LGS because they had a post-sample 805 A2 come in and let me play with it.

Charging handle is in a lousy location, a la the FN SCAR. Beretta's ARX features the best location for a reciprocating CH, being that it doesn't interfere with anything, to incl. the shooter's hands/fingers.
Otherwise it has some neat features. The 805 spec design was originally designed for a poly upper, but the material selection was changed to Al without altering the upper dimensional specifications in consideration of this, hence, the rather heavy weight. The 806 upper is designed specifically around the use of Al, so it's ~0.5 kg lighter, along with some improvements like the stock with molded cheek weld. I suppose it's possible for an 806 to find its way State-side, considering the commercial Scorpion came to fruition. |

The action doesn't look particularly revolutionary from anything you may have seen before in other designs. If anything, the OS design is status quo. I'd WAG that CZ goes the extra on the mfg clearances & the fit/finish, such that the overall pkg is just a very smooth operating setup. |

I cannot understand, in an industry that is largely driven by supply and demand, why the prices on these are still relatively high. Seems like they are in stock everywhere online for $1500+ but no one is buying. When will they drop? Or won't they...

I just find it odd that the Tavor and the Bren are in the same ballpark price-wise, and the Tavor has sold a ton more units (and is a rifle). The same can't be said for the Bren, atleast not yet. The 13-something you paid is much more appropriate than what most dealers are asking (1700+). |

I've emailed Kinetic Development Group asking them will they be making an adapter for the Bren to go with the ACR stock. I haven't received mine yet, but I hear the trigger isn't to bad. As soon as I pick mine up I can tell you about the SBR process, because I'm filing as soon as I get it back home. Finally as far as 922r is concerned CZ says they're concentrating on getting out the EVO kits right now because they're overwhelmed with request. I'm pretty sure by time my stamp comes back the kit will be available. |

Same here, I've been looking around for another 556 project to sbr and I'm down to the Bren pistol, Bren carbine since it looks like they're shipping out now or the MCX pistol. The price for the Bren pistol has been very tempting. The only drawbacks I see, are trying to find an adapter for my suppressor mount and finding a stock for it.
