FIREARM DESCRIPTION AND TERMINOLOGY The designation of the main parts used in this Instruction Manual is presented in Fig. 1 on the inner page of the cover. Nomenclatures of all CZ 805 BREN parts are presented in the section List of Parts. Designed for all kinds of troops, the CZ 805 BREN assault rifle is an automatic weapon intended for aimed shooting at ground targets, light-armoured targets and air targets. It enables the user to shoot single rounds, full bursts or limited, two-round bursts. It is provided with a folding shoulder stock and adjustable sights. The barrel is manufactured in two different lengths. The version with the standard barrel length is supplied under the name CZ 805 BREN A1 while the model with the shortened barrel bears the designation CZ 805 BREN A2. The rifle is equipped with a double-column magazine featuring a double-column mouth and a capacity of 30 cartridges. The characteristic features of the rifle include the following: the excellent balancing which ensures prompt and easy aiming at targets the facility to mount various accessories on Weaver rails designed according to MIL-STD-1913 standards the barrel and the magazine well can be exchanged without using any special tools the folding stock can be removed the barrel muzzle is provided with a thread enabling the attachment of various accessories (such as flash hider, sound suppressor, etc.) the control elements provide for easy and comfortable use as well as for the possibility of ambidextrous handling the firearm can be easily stripped for cleaning and routine maintenance high accuracy of shooting long service life high reliability

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Ammunition Always use brand ammunition of corresponding caliber which complies with the NATO STANAG 4172 or OS 13 0503 standards. The use of different ammunition can cause functional defects, damage to the firearm or injury to the user. Handling the stock The shoulder stock can be folded towards the right side of the receiver while pressing the side locking detent (Fig. 2). Once the stock is fully folded, it is then held in this position. When unfolding the stock it is necessary to overcome mild resistance caused by the hold-down element. It is best to finish unfolding the stock with an energic movement of your hand. The stock is secured when the side locking detent engages into the slot producing an audible sound. If required the stock can be removed from the firearm and replaced by a different stock. When attaching the stock to the rifle always make sure that the disassembly button is engaged properly. Removing the magazine Grasp the magazine with one hand and press the magazine release (Fig. 3); the magazine will spring out of the magazine well. Remove the magazine out of the firearm. Loading the magazine Grasp the magazine with its open end pointing upwards. Put a cartridge onto the follower and push it downwards. Put another cartridge onto the previous one and push it in the same way.

Loading the firearm WHEN LOADING THE FIREARM ALWAYS POINT IT IN A SAFE DIRECTION! Insert the loaded magazine into the rifle until it produces an audible noise and make sure that it is secured by the magazine release. Set the fire mode selector into one of the fire modes depending on the requirement, as indicated in the part Setting the fire mode. When the fire mode selector is in the "safe" position it is not possible to move the breech block carrier. Grasp the handle of the breech block carrier, move it smoothly to its rearmost position (Fig. 4) and release it. During this process, a cartridge is inserted into the chamber and the striking mechanism is drawn. The rifle is now ready to fire. In case you do not intend to shoot right away, secure the rifle as described in the section Securing the rifle. Unloading the firearm POINT THE FIREARM IN A SAFE DIRECTION! Remove the magazine as described above Set the fire mode selector into one of the fire modes Pull the breech block carrier into the rear position and make sure that the cartridge has been extracted from the chamber and ejected out of the rifle Release the breech block carrier Pull the trigger (dry fire)

Setting the fire mode The CZ 805 BREN assault rifle enables the user to shoot in three different modes of fire, these are set by the lever of the fire mode selector which is situated on the side wall of the receiver. If the lever of the fire mode selector is set into the position indicated with one red dot, the single round mode is activated. The limited, two-round burst is activated by shifting the lever of the fire mode selector into the position indicated with two red dots. The full burst mode is activated by shifting the lever of the fire mode selector into the position indicated with five red dots. 7

Securing the firearm In order to secure the rifle it is necessary to set the lever of the fire mode selector into the position indicated by a white dot (Fig. 5). In this condition it is not possible to pull the trigger or manipulate the breech block carrier. Reloading while firing After the last cartridge has been fired from the magazine, the breech block carrier remains in the rear position (so called locked-open position). Remove the empty magazine and insert a loaded one. Pull the breech block carrier into the rearmost position and release it with an energic movement. The rifle is now reloaded and ready to shoot again. Adjusting the sights The folding rear sight can be adjusted for windage with the help of the adjustment key. The folding front sight can be adjusted only for elevation by tightening or loosening it with the help of the adjustment key. In order to fold the sights it is necessary to press the side locking button. Position no. 1 is used for the attachment of the front sight on the upper Weaver rail while the position no. 31 is used for the attachment of the rear sight. The sights which are supplied with the rifle can be substituted by different ones. Regularly verify that the sights (front and rear sight) are tightened properly, preferably always after having completed the cleaning or other maintenance procedures of the rifle. If the securing screws are loosened tighten them. In case of using the rifle with loose sights there is a risk that the grouping at the target will get worse or that the sights or their parts might get lost! Sighting-in the firearm All firearms dispatched from the factory were sighted-in, which means that the sights were adjusted for both windage and elevation. In order to have the rifle sighted-in properly it is necessary to combine the windage adjustment of the rear sight and the elevation adjustment of the front sight. The adjustment is conducted with the help of the adjustment key included in the cleaning kit as well as in the gunsmith's kit. In case the rifle is being sighted-in for a target at a distance of 100m it is necessary to shoot 8 rounds aiming at the bottom center of the black diagram of the target no. 4 (a target with an uncovered lying statuette and circles). The fire is evaluated by hand. Before you start 8

shooting it is necessary to check whether the sights have been attached in the mounting rail properly and whether the collimator has been turned onto the small aperture. For the purpose of sighting-in, 8 cartridges are fired in single shot mode while aiming at the correct point of aim. After the 8 cartridges have been shot it is necessary to check the target and evaluate both the dispersion and the central point of impact. The centres of the impact of all the 8 shots must be covered by a 116mm diameter circle, the central point of impact of the 8 shots must fall within a 110mm diameter circle of the point of aim. In case the rifle does not comply with the requirement on the central point of impact it is necessary to adjust the sights either for windage (adjusting the rear sight) or for elevation (adjusting the front sight). For the purpose of a correct sighting-in of the rifle it is usually necessary to adjust for both windage and elevation. Windage adjustment of the rear sight In case the central point of impact is not satisfactory in the horizontal plane, the windage adjustment of the rear sight must be carried out. The adjustment is carried out with the help of the adjustment key (in case of emergency the tip of a cartridge case can be used but the cartridge cannot be used for shooting afterwards) by rotating the adjustment device of the rear sight by the required number of twists: clock-wise (by twisting it to the right) in case that the central point of impact lies to the right in the target anti-clockwise (by twisting it to the left) in case that the central point of impact lies to the left in the target

One click of the adjustment device means that the central point of impact is shifted horizontally by 16mm when shooting at a distance of 100m. Elevation adjustment of the front sight The elevation adjustment of the front sight is carried out in case the central point of impact is not satisfactory in vertical plane. The adjustment is carried out by the adjustment key (in case of emergency the tip of a cartridge case can be used but the cartridge cannot be used for shooting afterwards) by rotating the front sight by the required number of twists: clock-wise (by twisting it to the right) in case that the central point of impact lies towards the top in the target anti-clockwise (by twisting it to the left) in case that the central point of impact lies towards the bottom in the target

One click of the front sight means that the central point of impact is shifted vertically by 58mm when shooting at a distance of 100m.

Attaching the special accessories In order to attach special accessories, the firearm is equipped with three Weaver rails according to MIL-STD-1913 standards. It is recommended to check the tightness of the securing screws of the rails regularly and tighten them if necessary. Using the assault/combat knife The CZ 805 assault/combat knife system consists of the knife, its scabbard and the scabbard sling. The assault/combat knife is a universal, modular cold weapon which can be adjusted to individual needs of the user by exchanging the shield and the base of the knife. It is both a stabbing and a cutting weapon and when combined with its scabbard it can also be used as a wire cutter, e.g. for the purpose of cutting barbed wire. When attached to the firearm, the knifes purpose is purely for stabbing. It consists of the blade (which can be equipped with a handsaw), the shield (assault or combat one), the handle, the insert, the securing screw and the base (either the assault base which is fitted with release clips or the combat base). The scabbard serves mainly for safe keeping of the knife. It consists of a polymer body provided with a cavity for the purpose of the knife's storage and a single blade located at the bottom of the scabbard which, in combination with the knife, serves as the wire cutter. The thigh swivel of the knife serves as the attachment of the scabbard with the knife onto the corresponding part of the armament. It was designed as a modular attachment element enabling various modes of use. It consists of the main, reinforced base manufactured from textile and a system of textile straps fitted with studs and attachment clips. Handling the assault/combat knife THE KNIFE CAN BE USED ONLY WHEN THE FIREARM IS UNLOADED AND WITH APPROPRIATE CARE! The slot for the knife's attachment is located on the bottom part of the gas extender. The knife is attached by inserting the shield loop of the knife onto the flash hider and by introducing the handle base of the knife into the slots situated on the gas extender. The blade must point upwards. In order to remove the knife it is necessary to press both the buttons located on the base of the knife's handle (Fig. 6). Note: Because of its shortened barrel, the CZ 805 BREN A2 cannot be used with the assault knife. 10

Exchanging the shield and the base of the knife After the securing screw has been loosened (with the help of the multipurpose key with the TORX X25 head included in the cleaning kit) the knife's base assembly (with the release clips), or the knife's handle as such can be removed. Once the knife's handle has been removed it is possible to loosen the thread insert of the blade and remove the knife's shield out of it. The shield can be replaced by the assault or combat shield included in the accessories kit according to the preferences of the user. The assault knife shield is usually used together with the base with clips. The combat knife is usually used together with the base without clips. Both shields with knife's bases can be combined in various modes, however the function of the assault knife is limited. Exchanging the barrel The barrels can be exchanged regardless of the type of the rifle. The barrel exchange can be carried out once the lateral securing screws have been removed. Afterwards it is possible to remove the barrel assembly from the receiver by removing it axially. When tightening the screws, use the torque key with a preset torque of 8 N/m and follow the prescribed order in which the screws must be tightened. Start at the muzzle with the rifle pointed in the direction of the fire - see the scheme below. First of all the front left screw is to be tightened, then the front right screw, followed by the middle left screw and the middle right screw and concluded with the rear left screw and the rear right screw. Note: After each barrel exchange it is recommended to carry out sighting-in of the rifle.

11

Using the blank shooting adaptor The blank adaptor enables the user to shoot in automatic mode when using blank cartridges. It is introduced into the thread at the muzzle after having the flash hider removed. In order to mount the blank adaptor it is convenient to use the mounting key no. 17. In order to attach the flash hider to the rifle again, it is necessary to screw the flash hider nut up to the end of the barrel thread (the barrel has a left-hand thread), then introduce the washer and screw the flash hider up to the front part of the barrel mouth; subsequently, tighten the nut with the spacer against the rear head of the flash hider by using the mounting keys no. 17. The "SOLO" blank adaptor is mounted onto the rail of the flash hider. Afterwards, the adaptor screw is screwed in tight to a position where the screw head touches the barrel mouth. Due to the colourful effect, the use of blank cartridges may lead to a troublesome fouling of the rifle which may be difficult to remove. Therefore we recommend to apply a gun oil prior to shooting blank cartridges. During the fire (after approximately 150 rounds) it is necessary to check the tightness of the adaptor and in case the rifle becomes excessively fouled, it is necessary to clean it. Beware of burn injuries! Use gloves or other protection. The CZ 805 BREN A1 model always needs to have the gas tube pre-set at an extensive gas extraction which is achieved by pressing the gas tube pin and twisting the gas tube into the position indicated with a big white slot. Exchanging the magazine well Each rifle can be supplied with an exchangeable magazine well. In order to exchange the well it is necessary to remove the pin which connects the magazine well assembly with the pistol grip. In case the magazines from the M16 rifle are used, it is necessary to use the corresponding magazine well. Changing the pistol grip back strap Each rifle can be supplied with a spare back strap which enables the rear part of the pistol grip handle to be adjusted according to the needs of an individual user. The back strap can be changed after the back strap pin (which is secured by a glue) is removed and the back strap is removed from the rails of the pistol grip.

Cleaning the Firearm Clean the Firearm after every use if it gets wet immediately after shooting at least once a year in temperate climates as often as once a month in tropical or extreme climates

Cleaning the Barrel and the Chamber If the firearm has not been fired or if only a few cartridges have been fired clean the barrel and chamber by a clean patch attached to the cleaning rod. Repeat the cleaning, changing patches, until the last patch comes out clean. If the barrel is very dirty, apply a gun cleaning solution with the aid of a cleaning brush. Let the solvent act for about 10 minutes (this time may vary depending on the solvent agent being used). Then scrub out the barrel thoroughly. Subsequently, dry the barrel and chamber with a clean patch and check that all powder residue or fouling has been removed. If necessary repeat this procedure. The cleaning rod and the brush must be inserted into the barrel from the chamber to prevent wear or damage to the muzzle. Pull the brush all the way through the barrel before reversing the movement. If you tried to change the direction of pulling, the brush would get stuck in the barrel. Cleaning of Other Parts Clean the remaining metal parts of the rifle with a dry cloth, or use the brass or nylon brush or the scraper included in the Cleaning kit of the rifle. Preserving oil or paraffin oil can be used for proper cleaning. Never use the agent designed for barrel cleaning! These solutions can remain in the joints causing corrosion after some time. Check that cloth particles or brush bristles have not lodged in any part of the firearm.

14

Preservation of Firearm When the barrel, chamber, and all accessible parts are clean and dry, wipe these parts with a cloth soaked in gun oil or apply oil in spray form. Remove all excess oil. Before shooting always pull through the barrel with a dry patch. At very low temperatures remove the oil from all accessible parts or apply a lubricant intended especially for such conditions. Use thick preserving agents such as preserving grease only for a long-term storage in severe climatic environments and remove it thoroughly before use from all parts of the firearm. Waste Management When used properly, the materials used in the product and its packaging have no adverse effects on human health or the environment. When disposing of the product or its packaging, all metal parts (steel and non-ferrous metals), plastics, wood, paper and cardboard should be stored separately in collecting containers intended specifically for that purpose.

Handling the firearm under adverse conditions Submerging the firearm under water If the rifle is submerged under water (water penetrating into the gas extraction system or into the mechanism of the rifle) the firing must be carried out with the gas tube set at an extensive gas extraction. In order to ensure reliable function of the rifle after it was submerged under water (e.g. while crossing water obstacles) it is necessary to lubricate the functional surfaces of the main parts of the rifle. The parts must be cleaned dry with the help of cloths and lubricated with a WD 40 solution. The chamber and the inside of the barrel must be cleaned dry as well as the magazines. In case the rifle was submerged under water it is necessary to shake the water out once the rifle is removed from the water, with the muzzle aiming downwards under the angle of approximately 45. This can be carried out in open air when the weather is warm, in cold weather the process must be carried out in a room where the minimum temperature is +15C. Combined climate conditions (in dusty environment, during rain and after rain) The rifle should be fired with the gas tube set for extensive gas extraction. In order to ensure reliable function of the rifle while it is used in dusty environments, during or after rain it is necessary to lubricate the functional surfaces of the main parts of the rifle. The parts must be cleaned dry with the help of a cloth and lubricated with a WD 40 solution. The chamber and the inside of the barrel must be cleaned dry as well as the magazines. Make sure your hands are clean and dry when loading cartridges into the magazine. Using the firearm under low temperatures (down to -50C) The rifle should be fired with the gas tube set for extensive gas extraction. In order to ensure reliable function of the rifle it is necessary to lubricate the functional surfaces of the main parts of the rifle (receiver, breech block carrier and breech block) with the MOLYKOTE 55M vaseline. The chamber and the inside of the barrel must be cleaned dry. In case a defect in the function of the firearm occurs, observe the following instructions: point the rifle in a safe direction, remove the magazine and make sure there is no cartridge in the chamber pull the bolt into the rear position, release it and pull the trigger - carry out this procedure at least three times in sequence

18

In order to ensure reliable function throughout the service life of the rifle (especially under adverse conditions) the manufacturer recommends that the rifle is cross-checked by a specialized gunsmith after having fired 5000 rounds. The cross-check should be focused on the examination of the following main parts of the firearm: barrel assembly with receiver pistol grip with magazine well disassembly pins piston (assembly) gas tube breech block carrier (assembly) recoil assembly breech block carrier handle shoulder stock (assembly) rear head (assembly) sights

In case of excessive deterioration of functional surfaces or before a breakage of one of the parts is found, it is recommended to replace them pre-emptively with a corresponding part from the spare parts set. Recommended replacement of the parts for the purpose of ensuring reliable function Breech Block, Extractor, Extractor spring with spring element Ejector, Ejector spring Firing pin plug Extractor and ejector spring Recommended replacement after (number of cartridges fired)
