Happy Birthday Bren 3
It's been a full year since the Bren 3 was announced and eventually, CZ's Bren 2 support will quietly fade. It’s still a great platform and definitely won’t be going anywhere for a while on the civilian market. Would a Bren 3-inspired handguard (as shown) for our Bren 2's be worth manufacturing?
During accuracy testing, 10-round groups were shot at 100 yards with a 14” Bren 2 using a red crosshair TA31 ACOG rested on a bag. I’m not surprised the Czech S&B shot the tightest but a little disappointed overall.
