This tough new side-folding shoulder stock is made from polymer with clever design features,
means that it can be both, handled with ease and saving some weight at the same time.

The plan is to field them with Sharps coffee grinder rifles as part of a balanced breakfast ;D

*No weapon system escapes criticism... However, CZ Bren 2 (806) is the improved result of a military rifle's useful & practical evolution variant of CZ 805 Bren, that is the modern standard weapon of the Armed Forces of the Czech Republic and it meets requirements for reliable operation in adverse conditions according to both NATO AC 225/D14 and TPVD 637–81. Their bulky look but streamlined structure may not appeal to those who prefer a more fossilized-skeletal domestic system design. It is up to you to consider and choose a very good proven quality .300 AAC Blackout carbine like DD or PWS among others, If you just want to be a deer/pigs fan related.

Czech Army just ordered 18.000 of CZ BREN 2 rifles. http://www.lidovky.cz/vojaci-dostav...ravy-domov.aspx?c=A161114_161420_ln_domov_ELE

They will go to all units while the original CZ 805 BRENs, in service only from 2013, will be given to reservists, and quite possibly later set aside into warehouses.





CZ claims that they have sold CZ 805 BREN to security and police forces of 48 countries already.

Named as BREN 2 by CZ-UB for civilian sales, not yet approved to come in to the US. Unsure if it will be any time soon, but the political landscape's drastic change may make that far more likely than before!

 

[everydefense]

it's also lighter by 1.11 lbs.

That is a massive improvement, when you think about it!

I look forward to seeing these hit US shores for civilian sales.

French GIGN chose to adopt BREN 2 in 7.62x39 after year long trials.

“The decision to adopt the Bren 2 was the result of a process that began in 2015 after the Paris attacks in January that year. Faced with terrorists equipped with bullet-proof vests, French gendarmerie and police intervention units found that 9 mm weapons had little efficiency in such situations and that 5.56 mm ammo lacked the necessary stopping power.

The CZ spokesperson said that the GIGN identified a need for a new weapon able to fire a heavier bullet. The 7.62 x 51 mm caliber had the suitable characteristics but the weapons for this caliber were considered too heavy and bulky for efficient close-quarter combat.

Thus, GIGN decided to evaluate assault rifles chambered in the 7.62 x 39 mm caliber instead and undertook trials throughout 2015 with a variety of weapons.” ibid

And the ancient M43 round comes out the winner.

Remarkable.

A western force chose 7.62x39??!! WOW. I dont know what they are thinking. .300 BLK would have been a better option, in my opinion, especially considering the suppressed need stated in the article.

So, a 7.62x39 round cannot be suppressed? I learn something new every day... And .300 BLK is NOT virtually identical to 7.62x39 you say?
