The 805 Bren S1 Carbine uses a semi-automatic, short-stroke gas piston system with a rotating bolt, delivering consistent function across conditions. A user-adjustable gas regulator lets the shooter tune the rifle to ammunition or environment. The reciprocating, reversible charging handle can also be used as a forward assist, reflecting the rifle's practical, duty-focused design.
Its 16-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel is threaded 1/2x28 and fitted with a factory muzzle brake. A 1:7 right-hand twist supports common 5.56mm NATO loads. The aluminum-alloy receiver and Flat Dark Earth finish complement a polymer stock designed for field adjustability.
The folding, telescoping stock includes an adjustable cheekpiece to set up a consistent sightline. Controls are ambidextrous, with safety levers and a magazine release accessible from either side, plus a bolt catch positioned forward of the trigger guard for efficient manipulation.
A full-length T-numbered MIL-STD-1913 top rail runs from the receiver through the fore-end, with 6 o'clock Picatinny and a modular side-rail interface for accessories. Flip-up iron sights are included, featuring an adjustable front and a rear with two aperture sizes.
This rifle accepts STANAG/AR-15 magazines and has an overall length of 39 inches with a weight of 8.43 pounds. Markings include "MADE IN CZECH REPUBLIC," CZ-USA Kansas City import info, proof/inspection marks, and a visible "16" year code. Matching serial markings appear on the receiver and gas block. The model's limited U.S. import window prior to its 2018 discontinuation adds to its appeal for enthusiasts.
