good deal on HK SL8-6

[Jewrrick]

Want an AR10 receiver & parts kit?

how much?

[dblack1]

awesome, you ordered too?

Yes I did. That was the fastest I'd ever ordered and paid for something. I'd been looking at them for a while, and wanted a HK rifle of some sort. I almost paid $1700+tax for one not too long ago so this deal was too good to pass up. Someone paid that, or more, the one I talked myself out of, so this is a great deal with the extras.

It is a good deal, however if you want to convert it to a G36 you've got another grand+ in parts and time.

Just too bad it is so damn ugly....

I agree looks like a bastard child between an Accuracy International and an AR.

Everything with an hk tag is.

Converted looks pretty good but not $3000 good.

but converted.....

that is a g36 (which would requires SBR tax stamp).

so the cheap way is to do a g36e right?
are you allowed to cut the 20" barrel down to 16" atleast?

how accurate are these with the stock 20" barrel?

damnnit...why must i go Disney World for vacation.... *cries*

I'll probably leave mine alone. It has dipped into my sps .308 scope fund though, but I've got until deer season for that. I actually told myself I wouldn't buy a gun this year. I had stuff I wanted to do to my existing guns so I was going to spend money on them and ammo only. I made it 4.5 months so I guess I did pretty good.

If I did do a SBR I'd like to go the .300 route anyway.

That would be a G36C, I don't think there's any way to build one unless it's a C/K variant - I love the short barrels. As long as the rifle is a 16" permanent barrel length and no less than 26" OAL then you are fine. The 20" SL8's are accurate guns, on par with a match AR15. The gun will out shoot the ballistic effectiveness of the cartridge for the most part. What really kicks your ass on converting these is staying 922(r) compliant. I have the same issues with my G3's/HK91's. Tons of cheap German parts, none of which you can use.

cool. since this was an impulse buy i'm going to just keep it stock and enjoy the big ugly as is.

when i get the urge, i'll buy all the compliant parts at once and pay for my first stamp. $1k for all that doesn't seem that bad.

So. Tempting. Argh.

"Good Deal" and "HK" don't usually go together...
