Will HK SL8-6 mags work in a SL8-4. Im new to this, I believe the sl8-6 is single stack,and sl8-4 is double or staggered? But will the -6 single stack work in the -4 magwell?
Hk sl8 mags?

Not sure if you need an adapter or not, but I know you can use AR mags in the SL8. Magpul are really popular and I'd recomend them if you plan on hunting with it, but if you are going to be plinking or target shooting and you want to get 10 rounds in there you can go with the LAR pistol mags.

-6 will not work in -4. Different bolt. Single stack vs double stack.

Driller, Only the -6 SL8 requires cutting and poly work. The -4/-5 only requires a TINY table to be cut out of the inside. This tab will need to be removed to use G36 Mags aswell. Then you just swap the whole magwell.
-4/-5 are very different rifles then the -6
Either way, I say stick to G36 mags. Expensive, but their nice.

At the risk of answering a question that's already been answered:
For the SL8-4 to use G36 mags or AR mags with the magwell adapter, you need to cut out two tiny plastic tabs in the receiver, which is a pretty easy job, especially with a chisel. No further modifications will then be required.
Alternatively, if you don't want the AR mag conversion, and want to use G36 mags, you can leave the tabs in the receiver, and cut out the space that the tabs occupy on your G36 mags. Given the rarity and price of the G36 mags, you're better off modifying the receiver, since then you can use G36 mags or an AR mag well adapter with no further mods.
With the single stack SL8s, not only do you need to modify the receiver so that the magazines will fit, but you'll also need to replace the single lug bolt with a dual lug bolt if you want to use any dual stack mags (AR, G36, double stack SL8).
Hopefully this covers everything.
