Here is the original article in Small Arms Defense Journal And here is the CZUB webpage for it Bren 807 A1 Notice how the grip is a hybrid between the 805 and the Bren 2 series grips... eta: Oops, I see it's been addressed.

It says that on wikipedia but right on Cz's website it has the 807 listed and it is the select fire Military contracted Assault rifle in 5.56 and 7.62x39 for Czech Army, Hungarian Army, India, etc.. It has an 807 Model # on the receiver and it has a different gas tube and the 807 carbines uses a short piston the same as the short barrels. The S and Ms model are considered the more modular model and can be semi auto for civilian market or select fire for Le agencies, etc.. |

View Quote I'll get around to it haha. As far as the suppressor gas port setting. It is included on all carbines (takes the place of the over-gassed setting. So you have regular, supressed and off). Size is about 1.8mm but I'm not sure that is particularly useful information as port size is directly linked to port pressure, dwell time, gas tube volume, relief port size, and piston head surface area (none of which are the same between the carbine and any of the pistol variants) so it would be completely invalid for anything but a carbine, which it is of course already included with. |

View Quote Went about it a little differently and lightened the carrier and resprung the op rod instead. If trying to keep all other parts stock, yes you would need to open up the port on the barrel itself. Standard setting gas tube port is already overbored passed that of the barrel port and not too much smaller than the port opening of the gas block, so adjusting it wont really change much. |

I assume you can swap the uppers between lowers and remove the mag insert as needed. Probably won't be cost effective in the short run, but maybe CZ will start selling uppers in different barrel lengths and calibers. EX) Have a 7.62x39 rifle, but want a 5.56 upper/mag well insert. |

Bison is right - need moar pics.
Decided to stretch it out to the longest the private range can offer, 200 yards. Steel target is between the second and third pallet on the right, see it? Attached File 200 yards, 11 inch barrel, iron sights, 129gr cast handloads, kneeling, 15 MPH gusting cross wind, this was the best I could do, 3 out of 5. Sorry, I know this puts me at the bottom of the internet shooter pack. I would love to see what she could do with a decent dot and some top dog FMJ ammo. Attached File |

Czech Military must like the Bren 2s. Must be holding up pretty well under harsh conditions. I notice that the military 16" Carbines use the same short piston gas system as the Pistol Length S Models unlike the Ms Carbine sold here in the USA. |

I've been patiently waiting for the Carbine version. I have the 14" pistol in 5.56, but I'll be selling it for the carbine when it's readily available. I am glad to hear that it has the suppressor setting. How did they not include that in the pistol version???
I've been all over forums about this gun... I've thought about just drilling a hole for a suppressor setting, however I am not comfortable with it. |

Start small and tune it to where it works perfect for your suppressor and ammo. You will be able to buy new gas tubes in the future also just like the 805. Many have done this and Im sure they will give you the port size. Take to a local machinist and they can do it for you in 5 minutes. Im suprised Cz did away with the adverse conditions gas setting for the carbine. |

I just bought the 11" 5.56. I will mainly run it suppressed. From reading the thread, the Off position on the gas block doesn't have much use? So you can drill the hole there?
I will try searching back for the drill size, but if anyone can chime in on the smallest size they used, that be great. |

I have a 14" 5.56. I'm at about .040 with a sandman K.
It depends on your supressor and barrel length. The port size is different per caliber and length. The 11" is bigger. Fire a few rounds from the zero position so you have a good mark to find where to drill. I used a 2 flute end mill and made a very small hole at about 0.027 then just used wire gauge drills on the range to find one that would lock back on an empty mag on Wolf steel. Takes a while, but kind of fun to tinker. Mine would eject, reset trigger, but not strip a new round at about .035". |

Would you guys trade a AUG for a Bren 2? I love my AUG but am going back and forth on whether or not I want the 14" Bren 2 in 5.56, then I can pin/weld a flash hider on it to get it over 16", throw an ACR stock on it, and get some US made parts for 922r without going the tax stamp route.
So to comply with 922r I am thinking HBI trigger/sear, HBI handguard, ACR stock, U.S. made mags and I should be good, if I were to go this route? That magazines count as 3 parts of I am not mistaken? |
