H&K Sl8 Any Tactical Upgrades???

You can attach rail to the SL8 handguard no problem and you can buy the rail from wolverine.

Reference your question about the G36K handguard, I don't think it will fit because I had tried the handguard of my G36C on my SL8 just for fun and I wouldn't work.
 
It takes some mods for the gas tube I just want to know the the pins line up

They will.

I built a website back in 2002 based on modding the SL8-1. I was one of (if not the first) the first guys to start modding SL8s.

You should be able to answer most of your questions with the info and pics I left there. I've long since wandered away from the SL8-1, but I left everything, I accumulated, there for others to use.

Go to HK Pro forums (http://hkpro.com/forum/index.php and search for G-36 SL-8 conversion

Here is the bottom line, if you want a G36 stock then you have two choices. The deciding factor is if you want to "cut your reciever"

Option 1 - HDPS stock block

I can't bring myself to do that, so the choice is the HDPS stock block that ties the G36 pistol grip ( and fire control ) to the G36 stock to the SL8

http://www.hdps.org/htm/3.htm

The complaint about this setup is it puts the stock further back than a real G36 messing up the eye relief for a magnified optic. To help with this problem make sure you get a G36 "C" stock

For pistol grips there is a dizzying array of pistol grips. The one that you want is the FBI with the (0,1) - safe and fire. You can buy less expensive pistol grip with the ( 0,1,F ) and same with burst but you really don't want to be messing with a pistol grip that comes with a "catch "- HK nomenclature not mine. This is the part in a HK G36 lower that is tripped by the auto bolt carrier allowing auto fire.

When you get ( good luck ) export permits you don't want to be justifying pistol grip with the auto catch even though a G36 bolt will not fit easily in a SL-8

Option 2 - T- Bostic etc - this requires cutting of reciever. I don't think these guys that offer these conversions will be too willing to deal with a Canadian.

I have not seen a HERA conversion in person. I guess a AR stock is better than a stock SL8. I prefer the G36 stock myself

Forends - KAC was an option but has since discontinued this item. The only "new in stock" versions are for the K ( carbine which is 1.5" shorter than the more desirable rifle length.

B&T - not certain if this fits a SL8 or not. Kinda pricy




Scope Mount - if you want to get rid of the carry handle setup for scopes you only have the KAC option. They are very hard to find new because KAC has discontinued this item
