Another Project.


Recommended Posts

I got an H&K SL8-6 not long ago from a member here. I did some research on what parts to get to make a "Poor man's" G36, I was going to send it to Tommy Built but he's not accepting any work. So I searched around and found some parts to get started with, just need a couple of more parts and send the SL8-6  Bolt out to be modified to a G36 Bolt to be able to use P-Mags and the H&K dbl. Stack Mags along with a G36 MagWell, a orginal G36 Bolt is $400+ and modify the original SL8-6 $100 so I'll go that route. Got the Stock in and the HDPS Stock Block also got a Tommy Built G36 Lower that takes AR 15 Triggers, I went with a Geissele SD-E Flat Trigger. Just got done fitting the Lower, need to work on the Stock Block a little and it will be good to go, then make sure that the Geissele Hammer clears everything inside if not then a little fitting will take care of that. Here's some of the parts, I'll post as I go along. Thanks for looking.20240618_111309.thumb.jpg.bcf85f999d7990e74484eaa604285d41.jpg20240620_144946.jpg.dd9f8ee5db44753b1a96cfaa87049a02.jpg20240620_145044.jpg.8cffe306e0cedbb9ce34148ffd92fa8a.jpg20240620_145105.jpg.cf051665ca3ac4afff572971a906581c.jpg20240620_145139.jpg.9576b8f620c87226957d6afa94b88cff.jpg

I've got some more parts coming tomorrow. They should be enough to start fitting everything up, and if all goes well I'll be able to test it with the H&K SL8-6 Mags. Then consecrate on getting the bolt modified to a G36 Bolt and get that Tommy Built G36 MagWell Conversion for using P-Mags, and the G36 Mags.

Got a few more smaller parts in today. Did some fitting on the Tommy Built AR Lower assembly, G36 Stock, and a few other parts. I got it mocked up just need to clean it up where I had to do a little fitting, but so far it's coming along.

Got most of it done, not sure about the stock I may change it out to another style. Everything is put back together to check out the functionality and it's great, that Geissele SD-E Flat Trigger makes a world of difference in the pull, right around 4#. The Extended Bolt hold open functions as it should now all that is left is to get the SL8-6 Bolt modified to the G36 Bolt, get the Tommy Built AR MagWell to be able to run the double stack mags, and a low profile rail and it's done. More pictures to follow.

Well I ran into a little snafu, I got all the parts in and started to fit them and then noticed that the SL8-6 reciever has a indentation on one side that needs to be cut out and flipped around(see pictures) wicih isn't difficult to do but requires that part to be reattached so I decided to just leave it as is.20240905_093512.jpg.08be399bb5e7c6b7a78d5e8d6e7deceb.jpg20240905_105623.thumb.jpg.d5d97e535f843bcf2c20cfe60cf1635c.jpgbut I did get a few other parts fit and installed. A ambi mag release, and a orginal Swiss Made B&T G36 Aluminum Handguard, and a MagPul Bipod.20241016_193556.thumb.jpg.93dd627cc2b34f755dd43ba1ac089228.jpgI did find a company that makes a G36 Upper Reciever, they can't mark it HK but it is an exact copy, so I placed my name on the order list and hopefully it will be done by the endd of the month. I also have a G36 Parts Kit on order that includes everything except the receiver, so when I get all that in then I'll start the G36 build. Here's a picture of the SL8-6 with the new handguard I'm waiting for one more part a Tommy Built low profile rail then figure out what type of scope to put on it thinking ACOG, or a Meprolight, any way here it is minus the low profile rail.20241016_193547.thumb.jpg.cf65b179f646981747e071e3c965490c.jpg

Thanks I can't wait to get the other upper and G36 parts kit in to build the other one. Hopefully that low profile rail will be in soon so I can call that one done.
