For those interested, it appears that Bren 2 is shipping to distributors. There are a few on Gunbroker and the prices are reasonable. Who else is looking forward this?

I am hoping they release the 7.62x39 version that the gign are using.
|
|
|
I'm stoked about it. Unless the reviews suck, I'll buy one.

The future of your lightweight AR build begins with the PWD. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I6Qb6kAJjChEJ56qhznv2291c5UHRDyNXuSXGObumqM/edit?usp=sharing

Do they have any plans to release it in .308?
|
|
|
|
Are these the civilian versions, or the full auto LE models?

Omg. Just when I was done purchasing guns for the year
|
|
|
What the hell, how'd the civilian model sneak out with no press release or anything?

These are the current models.

Hats off to CZ. Can’t wait to get my hands on one.
|
|
|
This is a limited release. The official release is targeted for next year according to CZ.
|
|
|
Is it just pistol variants, not the carbine ?

Looks awesome but that bolt release in the trigger guard is going to be a negligent discharge nightmare.

Grabagun has some 7.62x39 Bren 2 pistols as well.

MAC at the Military Arms Channel mentioned that this batch of Bren 2's was a "one time shipment of this particular configuration" and that the next shipment will have "newer features yet to be disclosed".

It would have been nice if they didn't make them uglier.

I want a 5.56 but Im really looking forward to that .308.

Those who jumped on this shipment of Bren 2 pistols hit the jackpot. Word is, this will be the one and only shipment of military configured Bren 2s. The 2019 release will be the “Americanized” version.

Misunderstood, opposed to most, stockpiling ammunition.

My only gripe is that I wish they were able to make it lighter. That and I just got my stamp for my 805 . With a loaded mag, optic, ACR stock/adapter, and suppressor on, is heavy AF.
I still want one, but not sure it will be justifiable |

Ordered one of the 8" 556 pistols the other night. Very excited about this.
My 805 is one of my favorite rifles and this looks to solve whatever complaints I do have about it. |

View Quote The receiver's polymer - I doubt that waffle pattern really shaved much weight. If anything, weight savings would need to primarily come out of the bolt carrier/piston assembly. |
