Title: Bren 805 Barrel swap outs
Post by: manley53 on May 09, 2016, 09:53:59 PM

I know CZ makes 3 different barrel lengths for the Bren 805 but can you buy the different length barrels and swap out the barrels for different configurations. Could not find barrels for sale on CZ website. Thought it would be cool to buy Bren 805 in pistol form and then be able to convert back and forth to carbine/pistol.

Legally I think that's not allowed. You can register it as an SBR and then play with it, but a regular carbine/pistol, don't think that's legal. NOT 100% sure, consult with ATFE for semi-certain.

I do plan on SBR pistol to make it legal, but carbine does not need to be registered, so the question is being able to turn your SBR into a carbine legal? Also the original question was, Does CZ even sell the different barrel lengths and can you even swap them out,(do the thread on or are they pinned?). If CZ does not even sell the barrels then what I am wanting to do is a moot point. Thanks for any info you might have.

Barrels are held in with 3 screws on each side and are easy to take off, my barrel is in the shop now. I do not know if they sell the different barrels yet.
SBR to carbine legal
Pistol to carbine legal
Carbine to pistol illegal
