Las Vegas, NV (January 23, 2025) – The CZ Bren 2 Ms semi-automatic platform is an advanced firearm system. CZ redesigned the second-generation Bren from scratch, reducing weight and enhancing ergonomics. Shooters can choose from pistol and carbine models with options to personalize each. The Bren 2 Ms excels at today’s fast-paced shooting sports.
The Bren 2 Ms boasts a lighter construction thanks to an aluminum receiver and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer lower. Its simple design ensures extreme reliability while delivering outstanding accuracy.
Gone is the reciprocating charging handle. Instead, the Bren 2 Ms features one that stays stowed in the forward position until needed. It’s also swappable from side to side and doubles as a forward assist. An AR-style bolt catch/release system is mirrored on both sides of the firearm, and its catch/release is neatly tucked in the front of the trigger guard. The magazine release and safety are also ambidextrous and conveniently positioned.
The Bren 2 Ms Pistol comes in two popular chamberings of 5.56×45 and 7.62×39 and several barrel lengths from 8.3 inches (9.1 inches for 7.62×39) to 14.2 inches. As a pistol, the Bren 2 Ms features a flush rear plate that can attach an AR-style buffer tube to install an arm brace, cheek rest, or other stabilizing device. Conversely, a carbine buffer tube and stock can be installed, or the entire rear plate can be replaced with a factory folding or adjustable stock for those who wish to convert the pistol to a short-barrel rifle (SBR).
Pistols are available 5.56×45 or 7.62×39 with several barrel lengths. Each comes with a 30-round magazine. The ‘Ms’ designation denotes a modular forend that can be matched to the barrel length. CZ’s factory magazines ensure last-round hold-open and consistent feeding for 7.62×39 while, for 5.56×45, the Bren 2 is compatible with aftermarket AR-15 style magazines.
The CZ Bren 2 Ms Carbine is chambered in the popular 5.56×45. Equipped with mechanical sights, a longer 16.5-inch barrel, and a shoulder stock with a raised comb, the Carbine is optimized for accurate shooting at longer distances than the pistol.
The Carbine rifle is based on the select-fire system and operates via a short-stroke gas piston system with a return spring located within the action. Without a buffer tube, it accommodates an adjustable folding stock. Its overall length, at 38.5 inches long, folds down to just 28.3 inches for transport and storage.
CZ’s Bren 2 Ms is a proven performer for the modern shooter. For a lightweight and handy pistol or Carbine, the Bren 2 Ms is a solid choice.
