Heckler & Koch Reboots The SL8 Rifle

[Annihilator]

Good read on H&K rebooting of the SL8 rifle, good article for the H&K fans out there, also for the rifle buffs. I always did like the G36 rifle myself.

That's downright affordable. Another one goes on my list. I'm sure @BET7 already has one. Probably @HansGruber too.

The G36 was my go to weapon in COD 4 Modern Warfare pc game, I just put a dot on it, lol

No, not yet Bob . But when I was down at my LGS picking up my Sig MPX K the other day, this little beauty caught my eye. If I didn’t have so many outstanding bills to pay off due to recent purchases, I would have gotten it. I already have the HK VP9SK, so perhaps next time I’m at the store, I’ll pick it up

Nice looking pistol, give it time, it shall be yours….

I think the reason our @BET7 hasn’t got it yet, he just picked this bad boy up…

It would’ve been nice if they’d have released a G36 copy…but this is kinda cool, to.

That's a damn nice looking pistol. Bet it gives the Q5 a run for it's money. You definitely should have bought it.

I just got done with a course which I used my VP9 for and I can personally vouch for the superiority of the ( regular, non optic, non subcompact 4") VP9 over every other striker fired carry pistol in the world. I will get into my expanded thoughts on that matter a little later tonight when I give a report on my class this morning.

There are more than a few HK rifles I would rather have than this one. Those rifles are also generally about 3 times the cost at least. I mean before I dropped 16 beans on an AR or even say 2k on a DD AR, I would buy this.

They‘re quite expensive you know. I now need to replenish my funds after this purchase

Yeah, the SL’s really are a budget HK…I’ll likely be picking one of these up.

There are outfits that will do a G36 conversion…but it usually costs more than the rifle itself.

I expected no less.

Some place in Florida is what I've read, but parts availability are still an issue. The slower rate if fire on the g36 draws me toward it.

Are you stuck with 10 round mags ?

It will be the same exact rate of fire as the SL8–as it’s semi-auto only.

GCA86 means no real G36’s are available outside of SOT dealers and LE/M.

Unless you put on a G36 magwell, yes.

Here's another link on this subject with interesting veiws in the comment section:

BREAKING: HK Announces the Return of the SL8

Heckler & Koch have announced the return of the HK SL8 to the US commercial market. The return follows the success of the return of the SP5K.

Interestingly, TommyBuilt made a U.S. Clone of the HK G36 (Tommy Built T36), until the ATF got involved and classified it as a machine gun after several had been sold. Being a small company, TommyBuilt offered to work with the ATF and their customers to "correct" this issue for a small cost (as opposed to having the unmodified gun potentially confiscated outright by the ATF)

ALERT: Tommy Built T36 - ATF Mandatory Upgrade - GAT Daily (Guns Ammo Tactical)

Tom Bostic is a hero, At least for those of us who enjoy some cool aspects of fabrication, nerd culture, and unobtainable H&K G36’s and XM8’s. Tom made it happen and TommyBuilt Tactical produced an American Made G36 clone, and receivers to build out your own if you could get German parts. Tom...
