HK Sl8 to G36 conversion

[jcglp]

I just finished with my SL8 to G 36 conversion. This was the most dificult and aggrevating thing I ever did but in the end it was worth it. I have a barrel wrench and mandrel to remove the barrel if anyone needs to use it your welcome to . I am going to take it out this weekend and test fire it. I have both the G36 and Ar 15 magwells

If you get a chance could you go a bit into what it was that you did , looks great BTW .
I've always been curious on what it would take to get that job done .

I'm mad jelly brah!

Sl8 rifle 1400
Lower with stock 100
Us made bolt 75
Magwell 30
Extra barrel 275
Magwell conversion 225
I used the blackmarket parts lower but the stock has a really long length of pull. I cut a section out of the stock and reattached it with a plastic welder and devcon 2 epoxy. I originally did the magwell conversion but ruined my receiver trying to take the barrel off to thread it. HK over tightens and soaks the barrel nut in locktite on to guns
Made in 2011. I got a new receiver from HK and decided to have the magwell converstion done by Tom Bostic. If you get a newer gun you can send it to HK USA and they will take it off for 60 dollars. I still have the heavy barrel and it only takes a few minutes to change out the barrels

That is one sweet riffle (sic*).

 

[DStewart]

That is freaking sweet. One of my favorite guns. Good work man.

 

[Nevarwinter]

Great looking gun, man!

 

[sonanth]

How heavy is it? Compared to......

 

[jcglp]

Compared to m4 it's pretty light. If you take the scope off it feels like an airsoft gun. The only metal is the bolt , trunion and barrel.

That's not bad... Always wanted to try something like this, can never seem to find a deal on an SL8 when I want to though. Good to know about H&K taking the barrel off for you, read many horror stories of people trying to get the tube off the SL8-6's.
