Regarding the rails there were murmurs of HBI looking into making more lengths but haven’t heard anything in a little while now. Knowing HBI and the products they’ve brought out for other CZ rifles there is a good chance they are At least experimenting With ideas. I honestly thought Midwest industries would of had something out by now. They shared a Picture on their Instagram a while back Kinda teasing That they got a Bren 2 but haven’t seen it since.

I'm sure HBI will offer more rail lengths in the future.

Midwest said that they would look into the Bren 2 towards the end of the year as they have a full plate of production and R&D projects.

I'm sure Manticore Arms will have some parts for the Bren 2 pretty soon, as they already make accessories for the discontinued 805 and the Skorpion EVO.

AT3 B&T stock and brace adapter for Bren 2

https://a3-tactical-inc.myshopify.com/collections/cz-bren-2-collection/products/b-t-stock-brace-adapter-bren-2

I like this option

EDIT:
I just noticed a couple of things about this B&T adapter.

1) It appears the hole at the top of the adapter is used to secure it to the receiver (sling bracket hole) like the HAGA ACR adapter. 
2) I didn't read the description the first time and missed the following "NOTE: Stock/Brace pin bore requires simple modification with 3/16" drill bit."   

I liked the idea of using a B&T stock but I consider these items drawbacks and I wouldn't use it for those reasons.

It's good to see other options opening up for mounting stock/braces for the Bren 2. CZ is simply taking too long in coming out with any accessories for the Bren 2.

This adapter by A3 Tactical looks interesting, I just wish it were made of aluminum instead of nylon.

The issue I have with all of these non factory folding stock/brace solutions is the LOP is way too long. I prefer to shoot stock/brace to pectoral, with firing elbow tucked in. For me, that's 1-2 clicks out on an M4 stock, or 12- 12.5" LOP. All of the aftermarket solutions I'm seeing that fold are 2-3" too long.

Yeah the B&T stock gives me an old school HK vibe. Really like it with the 7.62 Bren.

Aries,

The length on that HK style folding stock is 10.5 inches.  Coupled with the brace adapter itself, the actual LOP on that should be in your ballpark.

I have one of those braces on my Zenith Z5RS. I laid it over my Bren 2 and compared the brace adaperter's position from one of A3's photos. The LOP would be just shy of 14". I'm measuring length of pull from the trigger to the butt of the brace or buttstock, fyi.

Has anyone tried the Matador Arms Sidewinder folding hinge?  I just ordered one and going to pair it with a SB Tactical SBA3 brace.
Both going on an 8" 556 MS2 with a OSS HX-QD 556 can

I’m sure someone has but not anyone in the forums to my knowledge. Please post some pics of yours. I and I’m sure many other would appreciate it. But yeah it looks like a good affordable way to get our folding butt stock fix until we get more purpose built options.

B&T also makes the UMP stock which is 1" longer than the APC stock. I had the B&T stock on my APC308 and found the LOP too short. Now I have the ACR stock and find the length better but it adds some weight.

Made a few Photoshop images of how the HB industries CZ Bren 2 rail could look with different barrel lengths 

14 inch


11 inch


8 inch


Man, really appreciate you making those pictures with the different barrel lengths.  I haven't seen one actual picture of someone with a 14 inch 556 pistol with the HBI 7.9 handguard.  This really helps.  Thanks again.  Great job.

You’re welcome man, I was really curious myself and I saw a few people who were asking Althea same question. I need to make a little free time and photo shop some more. I’ve been wanting to extend the HBI handguard to see how it’d look in longer lengths.
