The CZ 807 is a Czech modular dual-calibre assault rifle originally developed by Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod for the Indian Armed Forces. The modular design of rifle allows operators to quickly change calibre of weapon to either 5.56×45mm or 7.62×39mm. The rifle was announced by the company in 2013 at an event in Liberec. However, in June 2015, the Indian tender was scrapped.




Description


The CZ 807 is derived from the CZ 805 BREN series of rifles. The basic characteristics of the rifle are that it is a piston operated, gas-driven select-fire rifle of dual calibres. The ambidextrous charging handle is easy to change sides on. It has a modular design, with an aluminium alloy upper receiver and polymer lower receiver/fire control group. The bolt is a multi-lug type riding in a bolt carrier, locking into a barrel extension. The system is balanced well, and designed to meet the most rigorous requirements.
The materials used are fire-resistant, impact-resistant, and damage-resistant. The controls are accessible from both sides. Other characteristics include folding telescopic stock and interchangeable backstraps in three sizes.

Changing calibre of CZ 807 assault rifle is simple: the barrel assembly, bolt and firing pin, and the magazine are changed out in a field-safe operation at the unit level. The trigger group of the CZ 807 has a magazine well that is for the 7.62×39mm magazines. To convert to 5.56×45mm, the only item needed for the lower (trigger group) is the magazine well insert.

Pakistan: CZ 807 was one of the three finalists in the Pakistan Army competition to replace Heckler & Koch G3 and Type 56 rifles. In November 2016, Ceska Zbrojovka and Pakistan Ordnance Factories signed a Letter of Understanding (LoU) to "intensively negotiate a delivery of complete technology for the production of small arms to Pakistan Ordnance Factories, POF. Mutual interest refers to gradual launching of production in Pakistan, ranging from light assembly to maximum localization of production. Within this cooperation, transfer of technology as well as technical support including technical training of the personnel for Pakistan Ordnance Factories is expected."
In March 2017, during a marketing demonstration to local law-enforcement agencies in Quetta, Balochistan, a Česká zbrojovka official stated that: "Recently we have signed a letter-of-understanding with POF, and we are ready to transfer, the full transfer (sic) of modern technology from CZ to Pakistan, to POF, so we can produce the most modern and most advanced assault rifles in the world at POF." CZ 807 assault rifles, Scorpion Evo 3 sub-machine guns, and P-series pistols were showcased at the event which was also attended by Pakistan Army officials.
