Before this year, the 805 Bren was only available in the States in pistol form. Now, CZ USA is bringing the carbine configuration to the US market. The 805 Bren Carbine is a gas-piston operated semi-auto rifle, chambered for 5.56 NATO. The barrel length is 16.2″, and the overall length is 28.5″ with the stock folded, and 36.75″ – 39″ with the stock extended. The 805 Bren is side-charging, with a reversible, reciprocating charging handle. It also features a bolt catch, but no bolt release; users rack the charging handle to release the bolt. Additional features include ambi controls, flip-up sights, a pistol grip w/ interchangeable backstraps, and a modular forend.

Not the 806 Bren 2 rifles, since the 805’s upper wasn’t right?
Exactly.
Unfortunately for CZ USA, for even a remotely informed customer it’s 806 or nothing at this point. And by “nothing” I mean the AR that you should be using 😉
