CZ Bren 2 Ms 14" Pistol

The CZ Bren 2 MS pistol with 14.2-inch barrel represents the long-pistol middle ground in the Bren 2 lineup - compact enough for close quarters while retaining more velocity and handguard length than the 8-, 9-, and 11-inch pistol variants. CZ catalogs it as a pistol configuration in both 5.56x45mm and 7.62x39mm, not as the 16.5-inch carbine.

The clean-sheet design philosophy is evident throughout the pistol: the aluminum upper and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer lower keep weight to 5.9 pounds without magazine, the short-stroke gas piston system keeps the action cleaner than direct impingement, and the modular M-LOK handguard gives useful support-hand and accessory space. The 14.2-inch 5.56 version uses a 1/2x28 thread pitch, while the 7.62x39 version uses 5/8x24.

For builders deciding between Bren 2 lengths, the 14-inch pistol is the one to consider when the 11-inch feels too short but a full 16.5-inch carbine is too long. Plan the brace, SBR, or pin-and-weld path carefully before buying; the platform itself is excellent, but the legal configuration determines what furniture belongs on the rear of the gun.
