The post above is opinion, and I am probably totally wrong, so please pardon me if I offend anyone in any way. I am speaking only for myself and just sharing my thoughts, not trying to start an argument with anyone, and if you disagree with anything I have said, I concede your correct.

Oh, my aching wallet....if only... :'(

It sure is neat though! I'm hoping that if the popularity increases then the production numbers will make it more affordable.

My first impression of the 805 was it was heavy and rigid.

It looks pretty and I have to walk away real quick to prevent impulse purchase.

one enjoyable aspect of the Bren is definitely the trigger. factory is great and about 3.5-4 lbs. and with a little bit of file magic can be brought down to around 2-2.5 without changing any spring weights. also for those who are more extremely adventurous the reset distance can be made identical to your typical 75 shadow.  not shown in the previous picture is the straight trigger mod I have done as that picture is a month or so old now.

Welcome Bison World - where are you? That 805 looks like it's been used a bit! :) I'd love to get an 805 and SBR it when the compliance kit comes out so it can be 922(r) compliant. When I handled the 14 inch select fire version at SHOT 2015, it felt perfect. Now to get one in 6.5 Grendel. :D

not too much use as of yet, those are mostly finger prints you see, I'll try to get a better picture. I should have a 6.5 barrel done for it by the end of the year, will also be experimenting with a few other calibers. May also do some work with the original bren mags as they can use a longer OAL cartridge than standard STANAG magazines. oh and that rifle is currently 922(R) compliant  8)

I like the 6.5 as being in the middle of 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm, and if I ever get another 7.62x39mm CZ 527M, I will re-barrel it to 6.5mm Grendel. Got a gunsmith out here who can do that. :) I would love a BREN 805 SBR someday, when I can afford the pistol, compliance kit AND the tax stamp. That will be awesome.

figured I'd take some more ipotato pictures of how the rifle currently sits.  Pardon my awful photo taking.



extra setting notch for reduced gas

You DO realize the jealousy quotient here is sky high, right? :D

hey now, any good machinist or gunsmith should be able to build one with a manual mill, lathe, files, and a belt sander. I won't spill the beans on exactly how I made and modified certain parts just yet as figuring it out is really half the fun.  I'll probably eventually do a build thread sometime in the future after I have finished up a few more calibers.
