CZ Bren 2 MS NON-Restricted MAJOR UPDATE Post 587

Another Big Update

We've obtained every 16" base rifle available for conversion to Non-Restricted. As such, the remaining rifles are being offered as 11" base rifles with the same conversion to 18.5. The only difference is the shorter handguard and the barrel profile with be lighter on the 11" rifles.

For those asking about classification, these will be sold to you as non-restricted rifles.

Those asking about the ETA on the original CZ NR version, price and ETA unknown

Is the gas length the same as the 16”?

Also, seeing as this may be a very dissatisfactory turn of events, would it be possible to simply purchase the 11” at a discounted price?

And I think that's the deal breaker for me. Wrong gas system, wrong handguard.
 
Agreed, I'd rather wait an extra month or two for a 16" conversion. I also hope you guys are prioritizing the 16" conversions in order of who preordered first and not those who got back to your email first. (I doubt this would affect myself as I wasn't all that quick off the hop but it's what I would view as fair)

MARSTAR, please confirm that those of us on the pre-order are ALL getting converted 16's..

It first appearred that way in the initial update, and sounded like the "leftovers" opened up to the public would be the 11's..

it doesnt look that way to me. preordered the morning of the start of this thread, been on the fence about the 16, order update email today and option2 is now an 11" conversion. previous order update gave me until the 22nd to respond, new update says 29th......
 
I'd rather wait a bit longer to get the 16" gas system length. The short 11" gas system with a 18.6" barrel does not look good at all

Ordered night of the start of this thread and got the same thing, so I'd say you're right.
 
I suspect they are giving everyone on the original pre-order from last year first crack at the 16" rebarrelled rifles and if there were any remaining they would offer them to the next group. And it looks like most people likely went with the re-barrelled 16".
 
Nope, not interested in converting from the 11" version (as others have said it will have the wrong gas system and short hand guard - will look wrong)

So as I see it I can wait in the hope they offer me a rebarreled 16", wait for a genuine factory rifle or get my cash back.

A genuine factory NR is the best of those options IMO.
 
Not too happy with the way this change was handled. I didn't know of the re-barrel till last night just before I went to bed, and I thought that I would like to look into this before I make a decision, because I don't make snap decisions on these types of things. I was planning on spending time today after work.

But this afternoon I got a second letter from Marstar saying that they are out of 16" rifles and I could only select the conversation from the 11" rifle. If I knew there were a limited amount of 16" rifles, I would have stayed up late last night to decide.

The part that upsets me the most, is that they offered the 16" conversation to anyone off the street on their site, some person that just showed up to the party is getting something that should have been offered to someone that already had a preorder.

One would hope so, but I just got an 11" barrel conversion offer after saying yes to their earlier offer (16")
I'm hoping it's an oversight, as I was one of the first to put a deposit on the 18.5" version. The 11" just doesnt have the nice proportions/handgaurd/desired gas system length.

To correct one thing, they did not offer to anyone off the street the way I see it because the link in their post is out of stock from the very beginning. only those original orders have the option to go for a re barrel. I feel your pain though Like I did not know AR 15 was getting banned until it was too late. Now I have to suck with Canadian made 180s
 
Muzzle device question.
Will the factory Cz flash hider/muzzle break be installed on the new Dlask barrels?
I heard the thread pattern from Cz isn’t 1/2-28.
If Dlask threads to the CZ pattern, it would look authentic but limits the user to replacement muzzle devices.
