Great looking Bren 2, I'm jealous! Just out of curiosity, how do you like the Dan Haga brace? I've been tempted to order the exact same setup as you have but I've been concerned about the finish on the brace adaptor. According to the website repeated usage can cause the finish to wear revealing the white plastic underneath. Other than that concern, it looks first class.
How is your doing so far?

I've not found a "picture thread" specifically for Bren 2, but here's a link to a photo of my Bren as well as a few other people's:

Very nice! I love the two tones of the 805’s. The pistol grip makes me cringe a little but hats off for exercising your rights.

Veddy, veddy, nice! Are you a lefty, perchance? As a STRONGLY dominant righty, my flashlights are ALWAYS on the left (offhand) side. I see a lot more on the right side these days, but if one is NOT a lefty (or has foot-long fingers!!!), I'm curious as to the reason for strong-side migration of lights for rightys!
Well, as you can tell from the picture, the hand guard is quite short so space is a premium. I am right handed so I prefer to have my “essentials” on the left typically. BUT given the Cloud Defense/Surefire Switch on top rail, it creates an Ambi operation of the light. If that’s the case, I prefer my lights on the right to free up space on the left for more grip area/options. Given the extent of CZ design to create a nearly complete AMBI pistol, I wanted to extend that philosophy to added accessories.

I absolutely LOVE Dan Haga’s ACR adapting brace. It absolutely makes this pistol a useful setup. Adjustable pull and cheek riser. I am getting consistent cheek welds just as my AR’s. And of course it looks absolutely AWESOME on the Bren. I get your concern regarding the finish. However there is a couple of solutions I have already planned for if it comes to that. 1) You could have it hydrodipped a semi flat black or 2) SEM black trim paint available online or automotive store is very close and designed for painting plastic pieces.
In my opinion no other brace comes close to fit, finish and most of all USABILITY. I am already planning to replace the SB brace from my Scorpion to a Dan Haga.

Thanks for the information. I have to admit the ACR stock and the Dan Hagan adaptor makes the best looking brace for the Bren 2. The Strongarm brace also looks great. I had wanted to SBR my Bren when I get it, but since CZ hasn't shown any signs of coming out with the CZ stock, I might just go the brace route. It's kind of expensive, but it sure looks nice. The only thing holding me back is the durability question.

The initial batch of 10 (which sold out within hours) were plastic just like his current B&T APC adapters, but the production Bren 2 adapters are aluminum AFAIK.

I had the chance to finally sight in the EOTech and run some reload drills. I have no issue saying CZ has built a successor to the SCAR and AKM platforms. Intuitive controls, little noticeable recoil, easy field strip and usable manipulation with my off hand. Some of you Bren 805 guys will appreciate how easy CZ has made the takedown and bolt removal.
That is an epic looking build, would you mind sharing the specs and mods?

Thank you! I gave a rundown on my first post to this thread. It is already so good out of the box it only needed some tweaks which KBIndustries had solutions for. The stock trigger and plastic safety lever nubs were the most notable upgrades. The charging handle doesn’t need extension unless your optics base is wide like an EOTech.

I don’t see why not. Dan Haga Design still an arm brace with adapter. This is ASSUMING your barrel to receiver end length falls within the “pistol” category. It’s it’s currently a pistol, it will remain a pistol with this brace.

Thank you for the kind words. So far she has eaten everything I’ve thrown it’s way. I would message Dan Haga on Insta. If you don’t have Insta I believe he has an email to contact. He is great about getting back to you. He makes them for Bren 805 and Bren 2. He also makes them fit H&K, B&T and various other models. Well worth the money.
Oh and YES, that is the factory color.

BIG FAN of your items. Both my Bren 2 and Scorpion is outfitted with your products. If I may kindly make a request for us 8.5” barrel guys who wish to keep the factory short hand guard, could you produce a replacement lower rail that allows more mounting positions? Adapting to the useless Mlok area on the lower rail was an episode of trial and error. It works but not the most ideal for my tastes.
Does this pic make me the ultimate range hipster?

Please stop bringing up the erroneous length measurement aspect for pistols. There is no minimum or maximum overall length to "pistols" as far as the ATF is concerned. The only time it matters is if you have to deal with it is in Michigan (currently on MI, let's hope it stays that way) or if you want to add a VFG. (Barrel < 16in, OAL >26in, no stock and VFG counts as a "firearm" as opposed to AOW or SBR)

Calm down. Please tell me where I gave “erroneous lengths” in my comment. Hint: I didn’t. I simply said if the firearm is recognized as a pistol, adding a brace does not change it from being a pistol.

This line is erroneous, as there are no "length" measurements in the definition of a pistol. Please, don't take it personally, it's a common bit of misinformation that's been making the rounds lately. Sorry if I seemed like a dick.

Mr_5lade, that is one gorgeous pistol. I have the 11" now, but I'm definitely considering adding the 8" to my arsenal with my tax refund. Great Photography, as well! I also think you may be a neighbor to me, a few miles North!The 8” has quickly turned to my favorite blaster. It’s a giggle gun to say the least. Where abouts are you?

To me the size and balance is perfect. With the 11" barrel, it's not too short and it's not too long. It's short enough for close combat usage and still long enough for those longer shots.
