Cz Usa facebook moderator finally responded to my question about Bren 2s being sold. Here is what he said "We sell a number of firearms each year that are not standard production items, from unique color variations and distributor exclusives to previously discontinued and/or limited production guns. Thanks!" So I guess its legit. Never knew there were 20 round mags for x39 models. I hope sell a 9" S model soon.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By cryo_tech: is the gas system on the 8, 11, and 14 all the same? Depends how you define "gas system". If the question is if 8,11and 14 pistols have the same length of system, then the answer is yes. If we start getting more detailed however the answer is more or less no. I've gone over many of the differences in a few post throughout the thread if you dig for them. |

That drop shipping stuff sucks. I bought a 14” pistol and 8 days later it still hasn’t shipped. Vendor said it ships from their “Texas warehouse”. Funny the add didn’t mention it and they didn’t tell me until 8 days after taking my money. Oh well it will get here eventually I guess. I’m sitting here with a stock and a box of 922r parts ready to go! 😡

I haven’t got mine yet but it should come in this week. Before I bought mine I called the seller and double confirmed that the description was correct. At the time of purchase they said it would be drop shipped to my FFL in a couple of weeks. I have since asked the seller’s warehouse guy check and he says the description is still 2S.
I told them I am not interested in a 2MS, so we’re both hoping the description is accurate. I’ll let you know as soon as it gets here. If true, I’d like to get a second one to convert to 5.56. |

I went and sand and mud tested my 8" Bren 2 5.56 and my Daniel Defense Mk18. Bren 2 did great with the sand but the mud Killed it after 1 round fired. MK18 worked great with both sand and mud. To be fair to the Bren, I had just fired 30 rounds of wolf prior to doing the test. Probably didnt help it much. I will try again in a couple weeks. I had really hoped it did better with the mud. Never would have thought an Ar15 would have done better. Lesson learned here: Keep your weapons out of mud.
