The ever-evolving needs of military forces led to the further development of the Bren platform. Whereas the 805 was built to a specific set of predetermined requirements, the Bren 2 took years of input and data from use in the worldwide war on terror and put it all together in a smaller, lighter package. A shorter gas system allows for barrel lengths down to 8”, while giving settings for normal use, suppressed use and adverse conditions. The aluminum receiver is shorter and thinner, shaving weight from the rifle. Modular and built to swap between chamberings and barrels, the Bren 2 is available in three barrel lengths in .223/5.56x45 and one in 7.62x39. Gone is the reciprocating charging handle, in its place is one that remains forward while the action cycles, but can be used to charge the rifle via a ratcheting mechanism that allows it to be used as a forward assist if needed. All controls are ambidextrous, including a bolt release located inside the trigger guard. For those familiar with the M16/AR15 platform, a paddle-style bolt catch/release is located on the left side of the weapon. The Bren 2 is select-fire, currently only available for military/LE special-order. |
