CZ Bren 2 MS NON-Restricted MAJOR UPDATE Post 587

What is your specific issue with the gas system?

The 16" version is a heavier barrel, as a result the profile will be thicker than that of the shorter gas system and will result in the front heavy rifle you don't want. A thin hollow alum tube that can be un threaded from the front of the rifle pictured is still lighter than the heavier profile barrel of a converted 16" rifle

Pretty confident that CZ did extensive testing before deciding that there would be a different gas system on the "short" rifles vs the "long" rifles. Logically they must have saw something that made them want a different gas system on each. What that was I dont know - but there was / is a reason.

Will the short gas system work on one of the longer converted rifles - it certainly seems like that is the case based on your feedback (and others). I sense you are more than happy with your choice and I respect that. As I mentioned perviously I feel like I want the longer gas system as that was the system the manufacturer chose / designed into their rifles in the longer configuration.

I am still undecided with what to do with my order but fortunately I have other rifles to fill the role in the meantime.
 
These rifles might actually end up having some historical value down the road if you think about it.

Canadian custom order of NR Bren 2s, which appears have been diverted to Ukraine to arm the Ukrainian army.

Canadian company comes to the rescue with a domestic barrel.

At minimum it'll be a talking point for those that get these rifles.

I think I’d still rather have a factory barrel but oh well
 
I'll chime in here for a second...if anyone local wants to save the shipping and pick up their rifle in person they are free to. I have spoken with John at Marstar and told him this is OK with us provided you can be patient and let us work. Marstar will contact you when your rifle is done and ready then you call us to arrange a time. Not a problem.

The barrels are going to be awesome. We have ordered and paid for them and you guys will love them, promise. As for the difference of short vs. long gas system it makes zero difference. We have converted every type CZ makes (except the elusive 14 inch 5.56) and they cycle and function perfectly, no need to worry. This isn't the first EVER piston gun and certainly not the first we have converted.

With the short gas system it is possible to have the option of much different barrel lengths should you choose to swap barrels in the future. With the 16.5 inch you can only go between that and 18.5 inches so two inches difference, what's the point in that, lol.

Off to work I go, you all have a fantastic weekend.
 
Our Lord and Saviour! I'm proud to live in Delta lol

Dlask do you have a 16” and 11” on that rack? Can you post a pic of them side by side. Of what we are Actually being offered (before barrel change is fine) . I’m assuming the 11” hand gaurd is much shorter then the 16? It seems I have missed the 16” option so I’m now on the fence.
