Looking at the HK SL8 magazine question

[Sniffer]

I have a SL8-5, new import, so I don't know about the older ones but the AR magazines do not fit into the receiver without shaving. I have lots of people claim this but even when I take the magwell off completely, the AR magazines do not go past the 2 tabs. I would like to see some pictures from people claiming this.

Edit: Thinking about what lead to the confusion, here is my take.

The SL8-1 and SL8-6 US versions with single stack magazine are different. I haven't had a chance to look at one yet, only at the magazines, and those magazines only have the indentation on one side, unlike the double stack which have it and need it on both sides.

Hence the receiver also must have only one tab for the single stack SL8 - so the magwell conversion to AR will probably work without shaving.

There is a way to get the AR plastic magazines in without the shaving on double stack rifles, but only if you modify the magazines. But this means you are running a prohibited magazine if it is a 10 rounder pistol magazine, lol.

To be clear, I was referring to using a different magwell (NEA in my case) - not the standard H&K.

With it fitted AR (Stanag) mags will fit with no issues.

The magwell, original or not does not go all the way to the feeding ramp. Read my post and show some pictures please. Are the tabs still inside your receiver?
