Bren 807: An Economy Model Hybrid of the 805 and Bren 2
11m
The Bren 807 is an interesting hybrid of the Bren 805 and Bren 2. It was introduced by CZ in 2016 as a lower-priced model than the Bren 2. It was offered in both 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm, although it was not intended to be user-changeable between calibers. Its introduction was done in part with hopes of a large contract form a country like India or Pakistan as a replacement for AK pattern rifles, although that did not come to pass. To that end, it was only offered with a 16″ barrel in 7.62mm; the same as the basic AKM. The pattern was dropped from the CZ catalog in 2021, and is no longer in production – and was never offered in a civilian semiauto configuration.
Thanks to CZ in Uhersky Brod for inviting me to take a look at these and other firearms in their reference library!
