I find in most cases with a crush washer, as opposed to cutting it off, using a pair of vice grips and a drop of oil I can just turn them off the threads. I’ve done this over a dozen times and have never hurt threads.
I wanted one of these for a few years, held off on getting a rifle for a while, but they never seemed to get through import laws. Finally caved and bought a Daniel Defense DDM4V7, which I'm happy with. THEN CZ finally was able to imports these! Ugh! Stupid 922r...
@@joetexas1546 Nice! The first time I took it shooting I only had the LWRC iron sights that I could NOT get zeroed in to save my life.

@Lyset funny you mention that! I bought the LWRCI irons ($199) also but have never used them. I have heard about the front post issue before. Guess I need to check them out. Oh but that green halo Eotech with Magnifier-awesome!
Tim you made me a happy man with this video! Definitely my next purchase! Ive been waiting for CZUSA to make some American parts for the rifle format! Awesome meeting you at the gundies in January, thanks for the patch! I display it proudly on my patch board right up top!
I just recently joined the MAC club! Happy to be here! Always been a supporter of you and what you stand for. Honest reviews and a hell of an American! Keep up the great work, brother!
just put mine away. Our FFL here is the Law Enforcement Dealer with CZ and he has the only one here. Once he called me I had him put it away for me. This thing is nice and I am excited to put many many round through it.
Czech soldiers complained about BREN 1 all the time so they let them hop in and pof! you have BREN 2 :) definitely a good step forward for the manufacturer :)
I had a crush washer get stuck on my ar15 the same exact way. You don't have to cut it off, what you can do is turn it at an angle and then get a pipe wrench and turn it down the threads. The Crush Washer is a softer metal than the barrel so it will not damage the threads. I've done it on my ar15 and it did not harm the threads whatsoever. You just need to be careful not to over tighten the pipe wrench. Just give it enough pressure to turn the Crush Washer along the threads and it should work just fine.
Thanks for the Great Reviews!! Cz Bren 2 S 11" 5.56 Pistol with a Cz P-10 SC Optics ready is the BEST weapons 1, 2 combo available ! I have no use for the Bren 2 Carbine. I think a Bren 2 14" Pistol with a pin and welded DeadAir Flash hider would better serve.
If I did not already own a SCAR 16S I would be very tempted to get one of these. But my SCAR 16S and 17S are one of my "I will not trade or sell for anything" guns.
Thystaff Thywill actually Scars hold their resale value pretty well. If I was to sell my 16 in the market right now, I would make a $600 profit. ARs don’t hold their value nearly as well
Thystaff Thywill go watch Mr.guns and gears interview with Battle Field Vegas about full auto round counts. The Scar is the most reliable weapon in their inventory. They have one with over 200,000 rounds and it’s still up and running. An AR could never achieve that round count. When they held the military trials to replace the M4, the M4 had twice as many malfunctions than a Scar. So yes the scar does things better than an AR. To say an AR is just as good is disingenuous at best. The only reason is wasn’t adopted was because of cost (the contract always goes to the lowest bidder-see Sig P320 adoption.
Picked up my Belgian SCAR 17s for 2800.00. They have gone up in price (Around 3500 now). With optic, stock, trigger, and few other extras, I have over 5k in it now. Wouldn't part with it. I also have a CZ Bren 805 S1 I picked up for 1300.00. The only issue I have is the orifice around the gas block has some wear. Might get the Bren 2 in 7.62 x 39. Just wish they wouldn't have gone with proprietary mags in that caliber. Same with the Scar 17s and the FAL mags.
Charles Lowrey Same here, I would never part with my Scars. Most reliable guns I’ve had hands down. I just love the argument that Scar haters make saying their Frankenstein ARs are “JuSt aS GUuD”. 90 percent of the people who hate on Scars have not even shot one, or are just mad they’re too poor to afford one.
RADIOACTIVEBUNY Mine is stock except a Geissele trigger and an ACOG. Mine has functioned perfectly over 3,000 rounds, but as a recreational shooter...nothing hard use.
Sexy rifle. I was able to shoot one a few days ago at a local range and was very impressed with it. It was lighter than the particular AR I had with me that day and the recoil impulse is so smooth.
I just hope that thicker barrel is Czech made and chrome lined. Hopefully it's not like HK's MR series where you are getting a US produced barrel. The handguard is for sure an HBI product to comply with the import requirements.
The Virtus is the best thing SIG has done in along time, but the fact that it’s not completely ambi even at that price point baffles me. That’s one of the main reasons I lean towards my MS pistol especially as a left handed shooter, (I shoot both but I’m left eye dominant) that’s my main gripe with it. Other than that I still choose my Bren
+Military Arms Channel Tim My carbine version is the same way on the gas system. I reached out to CZ and I was told the warranty department would be reaching out to me.
I can hear the Cz designers sitting around talking, "so, should we go with a heavy barrel so fat americans can take our rifle to a class?". "What about the military application? Are we not designing this rifle for military service?" "Na...we are completely focusing on the US civilian market". I'm sure that is exactly why the chose that barrel thickness.
@@johns3924 ok... but if its still over-gassed, could you not drill an even smaller hole? I'd rather have a balanced system than the ability to turn off the gas system
John S I’m not talking about setting 2 I’m talking about the 3rd position it has no port hole and is a gas shut off which doesn’t have much of a practical civilian use unless maybe your a contract hit man lol. I’m saying drill a smaller hole in that position for a less gas suppressed setting.
John S because from the video the suppressed setting obviously is still way overgassed when you can run in the suppressed setting with the gas cut back and no suppressor on and it still is cycling with no issues. That means when you put a can on it will probably be way over gassed. A smaller port size would give you the ability to shoot it with a suppressor on and have a softer shooting less violent action. Then if it was really dirty you could switch to the regular suppressor setting 2.
Love my P10C & my Scorpion & can’t wait to get my hands on one of these. Hopefully we get the Bren 2 BR in .308 in the near future too, I’ve been holding off on buying a .308 for that particular firearm.
Michael Srite - it means that when Tim said the gun is $2,000, my brain went, “...it better be as good as the MCX...”. And a second later Tim said almost the same thing. And then I thought that was funny, and so I wrote it here. Because it happened... Literally.
Position 2 is definitely less gas, you can tell just by the ejection pattern. I'd run a can in position 2 and not worry about it. This is a cool rifle, but CZ made some funky decisions.
Cosmetically I think the 805 looks a lot better than the 2. I know cosmetics are not what matters but the looks just got cheaper to me. I'll stick with my 805, but may be tempted by the 2 if and when the .308 comes out.
I agree 100% cosmetically the 805 looks like a military rifle and i like the lines of it. The bren 2, looks wierd to me with that long barrel out the front. The 11" is ok with the hb handguard but otherwise yeah definitly like the 805 looks better.
I really like that and might get one. I better pay attention how to reassemble it, 19:35 "hey is that a butterfly on the rest bag? I think it's one of be those red and black ones. Hey wait, the wind blew it, I think it's a tag. Hmm, I better keep paying attention to it to double check that it's for sure a tag. What was I paying attention to now?"
Wow what an incredible rifle! Amazing design, simple and effective action, no tools needed. I'm sold I'm getting one (probably the pistol version though). Perfect review Tim :)
This is a review many of us have been really looking forward to and as per usual Tim doesn't disappoint. One concern though is the gas settings, logic would seem to dictate that position 2 should be position 1 due to the smaller orifice. I plan on buying one.
Why is everyone calling the CZ Bren a SCAR copy or Czech SCAR? I thought the design was based on the HK G36. I think I read something like both the SCAR and the Bren are heavily influenced by the G36.
Overall the gas system on the ms2 is superior to the 805. The off position could be used for a precision shot regardless of being suppressed. No gas, bolt won't move. Bolt gun. Just sayin. Some are considering methods to have the ms2 regulator properly drilled to match their suppressor or for minimum gas, etc. The internet jury is still out on this. Ergos on the ms2 are exceptional compared to the 805, but the simplicity of the 805 is something often overlooked. The 805 trigger is increadible for an OEM item. The ms2 isn't too far behind and upgrades are already available. Great Channel !!!
Pretty nifty looking carbine. That one actually looks like one I might be interested in picking up except for one little $2,000.00 issue. Oh well, can't win em all.
The reason the gas whole is bigger on standard gas cycle is than on the pistol. That reason is, that the gas piston is longer and has more weight so they have to offset that to make it reliable under any condition. Well at least that my theory.
I love my bren 2s, currently my favorite rifle/pistol. I plan on getting a carbine at some point but man I really would have preferred a lighter weight barrel vs the heavy they decided to go with. I'm sure they could have knocked off a pound from the weight if they did which I would value more. Bren2s are surprisingly light weight and very comparable to standard AR15 weights
@@sadnessinside123 Id highly recommend you look up faxon barrel tests. Modern manufacturing has vastly improved heat dispersion issues to where on something like a general purpose combat rifle the slight increase in group size after you mag dump a couple magazines is negligible.
I think the barrel is thicker for the 7.62 version so to save money. Instead having 2 different gas blocks one for 7.62 and one for a thinner barrel 5.56.
Personally, I'd prefer the firing pin to be a shade thicker for strenght. But that's just a minor thing. Overall It seems like a superior weapon to most out there. Though, I've yet to handele and fire one.
Tim, from video games to guns to dungeons & dragons, many companies are listening less and less to their customer base about product design. I don't know why except they're going for what's more profitable and easier to produce, piss on what the customer base wants. I really like this gun and will be picking up my first CZ firearm, a Scorpion, after this shut down is over. I put it in lay away so as not to lose it to someone else. I understand that there is a large aftermarket for parts on the Scorpion that people don't like them stock as much as they should. This company attitude seems to carry over into the Bren as well. Great guns but goofy aspects that don't consider the desires of the customer. Oh well, maybe that will change soon?
Only reason id get a scar now, is for the 7.62x51 caliber. Otherwise I'm sold on this, it's 1500 dollars cheaper then the scar. Shit for that, you can buy this, and the scorpian carbine together. I have the scorpion with the fake can, it's friggin awesome. I think this rifle is next on the agenda. Thanks for the great video
Beauty is defiantly subjective, I think it looks really nice with the barrel, handguard, and break. Something I don't like though it for roughly $2,000.00 you don't have any factory sights. I know most people are going to use optics, but IWI puts at least some cheap flip sights that are integrated into the rail, I don't know why more manufactures don't do this as well. The gun already is kind of pricey, but then the added expense of an optic or some cheap irons I don't know why more people don't copy the Tavor/IWI in that aspect.
The hand guard looks out of place but at least its aluminum. Throw a grip and light on it and call it a day. Not a fan of the spring on the op rod, those tend to break over time, I prefer the SCAR 16 simplicity in the short op rod design.
@@caneloweight175weightdrain5 I agree the Bren is better overall, just noting I like the simpler op rod design on the SCAR's. I sold my SCAR's but had a 16 and 2 17's, I briefly had the 805 but didn't much care for it. I was looking forward to this rifle being released. Years ago I had an LWRC with the spring cup piston, let me just say, no thanks. This one might be fine and last out, time will tell. Even on the new SIG Virtus the op rods are short and simple, no springs. I like that design.
I'm kinda thinking the gas port sizes were mistakenly miss matched at the factory. Looks like the #1 setting is using the #2 gas port size and vice versa.

Have one of each caliber in the “pistol” version. Waiting to get the folding stock to SBY the 7.62. Very nicely made.
Love me some CZ's !!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for showing the CZ BERN 2Ms carbine , Tim. I just wish that i had the budget to get one.
Overall the gas system on the ms2 is superior to the 805. The off position could be used for a precision shot regardless of being suppressed. No gas, bolt won't move. Bolt gun. Just sayin.
Some are considering methods to have the ms2 regulator properly drilled to match their suppressor or for minimum gas, etc. The internet jury is still out on this.
Ergos on the ms2 are exceptional compared to the 805, but the simplicity of the 805 is something often overlooked.
The 805 trigger is increadible for an OEM item. The ms2 isn't too far behind and upgrades are already available.
Great Channel !!!
Pretty nifty looking carbine. That one actually looks like one I might be interested in picking up except for one little $2,000.00 issue. Oh well, can't win em all.
well, it costs the same up here in the Czech Rep.... :-/ I guess the price will drop over time though...
It's a CZ. Street price will probably settle a good bit below that, and the aftermarket will probably be pretty damn good too.
Time to sell a kidney
@@wishuhadmyname Sell your neighbors kid, not a kidney. You may need that kidney down the line.
@@aaronorr5586 plus you will finally have silence from that side of the fence :D
The reason the gas whole is bigger on standard gas cycle is than on the pistol. That reason is, that the gas piston is longer and has more weight so they have to offset that to make it reliable under any condition.
Well at least that my theory.
Looks like an ACR to a degree. Looks awesome and I heard the Bren just works and works well.
Use an OSS can and don't worry about the back pressure. I use the HX-QD556 on my 806MS2 8.25 pistol in 5.56 without any issues
The bren 2ms has one of the best OEM triggers
Agreed
I love my bren 2s, currently my favorite rifle/pistol. I plan on getting a carbine at some point but man I really would have preferred a lighter weight barrel vs the heavy they decided to go with. I'm sure they could have knocked off a pound from the weight if they did which I would value more. Bren2s are surprisingly light weight and very comparable to standard AR15 weights
if its lighweight what would a lighter barrel do give you a over heated innacurate barrel during rapid fire?
Yes it would be less accurate as it heats up.
@@sadnessinside123 Id highly recommend you look up faxon barrel tests. Modern manufacturing has vastly improved heat dispersion issues to where on something like a general purpose combat rifle the slight increase in group size after you mag dump a couple magazines is negligible.
Maybe the third gas setting is for launching rifle grenades on the military version? They just carried this feature to civilian model to save money.
I think the barrel is thicker for the 7.62 version so to save money. Instead having 2 different gas blocks one for 7.62 and one for a thinner barrel 5.56.
From my Home Metroplex (specifically KC, KS), we give you the CZ Bren 2M Carbine/Rifle. 😁
Personally, I'd prefer the firing pin to be a shade thicker for strenght. But that's just a minor thing. Overall It seems like a superior weapon to most out there. Though, I've yet to handele and fire one.
Love the sound of the gong hits, and thanks brother!!
They should've made it as close to the military version.
How does it stack up to the Vertis AND ~$2k AR15s? I think this is always a fair question to ask in these price ranges.
Vertis?? Do you mean virtus
A nearly 30 minute long video about CZ... Please and thank you
Happy armed forces day M.A.C. Enjoy and thank you for your service.
Think I like the look of the pistol better.
Wow! She bump fires perfectly! 😀
Can't wait to buy this!!!
Nice Tim... if you put the B2 barrel on the 805 I think you'd have a winner...
the new one's look is so much more streamlined.
just wish they would make the forgrip same as the br used by the military.
Tim, from video games to guns to dungeons & dragons, many companies are listening less and less to their customer base about product design. I don't know why except they're going for what's more profitable and easier to produce, piss on what the customer base wants. I really like this gun and will be picking up my first CZ firearm, a Scorpion, after this shut down is over. I put it in lay away so as not to lose it to someone else. I understand that there is a large aftermarket for parts on the Scorpion that people don't like them stock as much as they should. This company attitude seems to carry over into the Bren as well. Great guns but goofy aspects that don't consider the desires of the customer. Oh well, maybe that will change soon?
Only reason id get a scar now, is for the 7.62x51 caliber. Otherwise I'm sold on this, it's 1500 dollars cheaper then the scar. Shit for that, you can buy this, and the scorpian carbine together. I have the scorpion with the fake can, it's friggin awesome. I think this rifle is next on the agenda. Thanks for the great video
Will they be bringing out a rifle version in 7.62x39? Would be a sweet AK alternative
If they do I'll buy one
That's what I'm waiting on
Idk man...i love my 7.62x39 pistol. Damn you CZ
Wonder if the heavy barrel is just a cost cutting measure so that they can use the same barrel blanks for 30 cal and 5.56
Makes sense to me. Probably see a 7.62x39 version soon
Glad to see a heavier barrel on rifles again. Everything has become a pencil barrel for super ninjas who don’t lift lol
Beauty is defiantly subjective, I think it looks really nice with the barrel, handguard, and break. Something I don't like though it for roughly $2,000.00 you don't have any factory sights. I know most people are going to use optics, but IWI puts at least some cheap flip sights that are integrated into the rail, I don't know why more manufactures don't do this as well. The gun already is kind of pricey, but then the added expense of an optic or some cheap irons I don't know why more people don't copy the Tavor/IWI in that aspect.
Tim didn't break anything, and he's talking about Hole size?! wow... today was a good day ;)
2nd position on carbine is for supressed usage.
The hand guard looks out of place but at least its aluminum. Throw a grip and light on it and call it a day. Not a fan of the spring on the op rod, those tend to break over time, I prefer the SCAR 16 simplicity in the short op rod design.
It's OK to meant that cz bren ms way better then scar i have both scar 16,17 but this cz bren way better the outdated scar.
@@caneloweight175weightdrain5 I agree the Bren is better overall, just noting I like the simpler op rod design on the SCAR's. I sold my SCAR's but had a 16 and 2 17's, I briefly had the 805 but didn't much care for it. I was looking forward to this rifle being released. Years ago I had an LWRC with the spring cup piston, let me just say, no thanks. This one might be fine and last out, time will tell. Even on the new SIG Virtus the op rods are short and simple, no springs. I like that design.
canelo weight 175 Weight drain I’d have to disagree. I’d never get anything but a scar.
@@lunaticrider209 yeah just be careful were you place your hands on the scar lol you might lose your finger
canelo weight 175 Weight drain I put the charging handle on the right side and I never have to worry about the fingers lol
Been waiting for this rifle forever
I'm still kinda surprised the Bren 805 wasn't designed with a bolt release.
FN took note with the NRCH (Non-Reciprocating Charging Handle) SCAR now
Just ordered one ... thanks for the vid Mac!!!
Nice job on the million subs team MAC👍
I'm kinda thinking the gas port sizes were mistakenly miss matched at the factory. Looks like the #1 setting is using the #2 gas port size and vice versa.
Great review, lots of good info with the side by side comparisons and the disassembly showing the internal parts.
