Ceska zbrojovka has successfully designed and constructed many commercially successful service weapons in its 85-year history. The advanced CZ BREN 2 range of assault and battle rifles serves as a perfect example.

The use of CZ BREN 2 rifles by the Czech Army and Hungarian armed forces, as well as the elite French anti-terrorist unit GIGN, is a result of CZ listening carefully to the voices of its end users and utilizing the latest development methods in their design and advanced technological processes in their manufacture.

The CZ BREN 2 multi-caliber series is based on proven systems, where automatic operation of the bolt is via a short-stroke gas piston with a return spring contained within the action itself. Placement of controls is similar to the popular AR-15 / M16 / M4 family. The 5.56 × 45 NATO chambered model is compatible with magazines from these weapons. The magazine well is designed to also accept CZ magazines with 7.62 × 39 rounds.

A rotating bolt with six locking lugs locks the breech of the CZ BREN 2. The three-stage gas tube regulator ensures reliable function in all conditions. The flat, laterally adjustable charging handle remains in the forward position when the bolt is cocked.

The firing model is selected with easy-to-reach levers on both sides of the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer trigger guard housing and features S-1-A positions. Additional controls are the ambidextrous magazine release and bolt catch/release.

The efficient, self-tightening flash hider has a spiral triple arm design. Other accessories can also be attached on the threaded muzzle, including a blank firing adapter when using blank ammunition.

Four MIL-STD-1913 rails for mounting accessories are placed on the top, bottom, and sides of the receiver, which is made of high-strength aluminum alloy. The side rails can be removed. The folding mechanical iron sights on the top rail include a fully adjustable diopter rear sight.

The pistol grip comes with aggressive checkering and interchangeable backstraps contribute to the excellent ergonomics of the CZ BREN 2 series. There is a lockable storage space on the bottom of the grip.

A sturdy but comfortable folding/extendable shoulder stock, which folds to the right side of the gun, further contributes to its shooting comfort. A hot new feature is the four-position "telescopic stock", which combines the smallest possible barrel length for a given caliber - 8" or 9" – with a simple butt pad that can be extended to its maximum length with a quick pull.

CZ BREN 2 assault rifles chambered in 5.56×45 mm NATO and 7.62×39 are currently available in four versions with different barrel lengths: 8", 11" and 14" for the 5.56x45 NATO chambered version and 9", 11" and 14" for the 7.62x39 chambered version. The CZ BREN 2 BR battle rifle, with 16" barrel, combines the advantages of this series with the performance of the 7.62×51 NATO caliber. For civilians, the semi-automatic CZ BREN 2 Ms model is produced in 223 Rem. and 7,62×39 calibers.
