7.62x39 fix??

That little circular piece sticks to a magnet, so it’s steel. I think it’s the end of the spring that broke off.

There’s no telling where that mangled ring came from — but whatever it is, it ain’t supposed to be there. Bren 2 owners are reporting all kinds of crud and swarf in their ejector channels, direct from the factory. Good quality control, there, CZ!!

From the two spare ejection springs I’ve been able to acquire from CZ over the years, yours appears to be more or less intact, though maybe somewhat knackered on my the one end where it’s double wound. Hopefully, you’ve discovered and removed the source of your ejection woes and hopefully you can get some fresh replacement parts…assuming you can navigate CZ’s crappy online Webstore.

It’s just a totally ridiculous situation with CZ and their lack of parts and service for these guns.

I'm going to call them and offer to send a picture.  We'll see what that brings me.

I received an email stating that an extractor spring and an ejector spring would be sent out.

I didn't receive the springs.  I emailed twice more but received no response.  So, I called today.  The lady that I spoke with said they had no record of my email address.    She gave me her email address and I forwarded the email chain to her.  She said that she'd put in an order for the replacement springs, but that it will likely be a while because they have not received Bren replacement parts in eight months.  I pointed out that they sent me a replacement gas valve a few months ago.  She said that they got a weird shipment of 40 and sent them out to people who had requested them.  All this to say that it looks like I'm back to waiting.

So the excuse is that all of CZ’s Bren 2 production and parts thereof are going to fight Putin in the Ukraine…here’s an idea: now that CZ has taken over Colt (or vice versa as the case may be) why not send the Ukraine thousands of Colt M4s with all their stockpile of parts and accessories (and allow Colt to possibly finally support itself) and have CZ send adequate Bren 2 parts and inventory back to the US to serve the large and lucrative civilian market? (Or better yet, start Bren 2 production in the US, though we know Colt management has probably already killed all CZ manufacturing in the US.)

That would be a win / win for both Colt and CZ, especially since nobody wants Colt’s M4, especially with the Sig Spear on the horizon.
