The CZ Bren 2 MS carbine in 5.56 NATO (CZ-USA part no. 08610) is the full-length rifle version of the Bren 2 platform, built around a short-stroke gas piston and a hard-chrome-lined barrel. CZ-USA gives it a long, interchangeable M-LOK forend, a 16.5-inch barrel and a folding, telescopic shoulder stock with a raised comb. Controls follow the AR layout, with ambidextrous controls and a side-adjustable charging handle, so the manual of arms is familiar from the first magazine. Mechanical sights are standard equipment, which makes it a ready-to-run semi-automatic rifle for the range, training courses and home defense.

Key Specifications

• The cartridge is 5.56x45mm NATO, the standard military round with the broadest ammunition support.
• Magazine capacity is 30 rounds, matching the standard rifle magazine count.
• The barrel is 16.5 inches and hard-chrome lined, with a guaranteed service life of 20,000 rounds.
• The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, the common pitch for muzzle devices and many suppressor mounts.
• The rifling twist is 1:7, a rate that stabilizes the heavier bullets common in 5.56 loads.
• The stock is a three-position telescopic, foldable design, so length of pull adjusts and the rifle shrinks for storage.
• Overall length is 28.3 inches folded and 35.7 to 38.5 inches extended, depending on the stock position.
• The rifle weighs 6.37 pounds without a magazine, light enough for a full day of carrying.
• Sights are folding, adjustable iron sights, a backup that stays out of the way when an optic is mounted.
• The receiver is 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy with a long M-LOK forend, which keeps weight down and makes accessories easy to add.
