The SL8 Mods, Info and FAQ Thread

excuse me....free-basing??????? Thats what I heard as a cost when I phoned them, thought it was a little high so I thought I would ask the friendy people on this forum. Ill call back and confirm.
Thanks for your time........

Dear Mr. ####,

I was trying to explain to you that a chop job for $350
for a gun like SL8 in almost any shop is un-reasonable
and probably un-heard of.

The "free-basing" comment was meant as a joke.
If it offends you, I deeply appologize for it and I take it back
(only the comment, but you can keep the freebase, as I don't need it).
 
Based on information submitted for US patents on the G36 I found the following information on the trigger spring. The left trigger spring used to disengage the bolt hold open is also designed for increasing trigger return pressure in adverse conditions. The question of the proper placement of the spring had been asked before, but I did not have a define answer till now. I added colour to the parts so they could bee seen better.

Under unfriendly environmental conditions (severe frost which allows grease or oil to harden in the weapon, severe fouling by fine sand, etc.) the restoring force of the trigger spring is sometimes no longer sufficient if the spring is designed for a soft trigger. For this reason the trigger springs of military hand firearms have been designed in such manner that their restoring force is still sufficient even under the severe conditions described. This however, reduces the accuracy of the marksman.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 4 through 6, the trigger weight or the restoring force may be selected according to the environmental conditions to be expected or according to the experience of the user.

The trigger arrangement 81 (see FIG. 7) has a trigger spring which, in FIGS. 1-5, is covered by the trigger. It corresponds to the state of the art and is laid out in such manner that the trigger is "soft". In fact, the restoring force of the trigger spring can be extremely light, because the trigger consists of comparatively light material (plastic), so that the mass forces against which the restoring force must act are slight.

In the operating state shown in FIG. 4, the rear shank of the spring 73 rests on the inside of the grip piece 3. The spring 73 lying in this position provides the restoring force, which urges the trigger forward. Thus, the trigger is "soft". This operating state is chosen when favorable environmental conditions are to be expected, or when experienced persons are to use the weapon.

A spring support 79 is located proximate to the rear shank of the spring 73 on the side surface of the portion of the trigger which extends to the safety projection 37. The rear shank of the spring 73 can be deflected upward under force-storing deformation of the spring 73, and be placed on the spring support. This shifting-over can be performed simply, for example, by gripping from above, under the spring shank, with a hook and raising it. Now the spring 73 reinforces the restoring force of the trigger spring (not shown) and the trigger becomes "hard".

This position of the spring shank is shown in FIG. 5. This setting will be chosen in unfavorable environmental conditions, or when the weapon is issued to an inexperienced person, from which there cannot yet be expected a safe handling of the weapon. The desired adjustment can, of course, be made at the factory.

The two adjustments described above (effectiveness of the breechblock barrier and the restoring force acting on the trigger 33) can be made in an extremely short amount of time by an instructed person with the simplest tool. The user of the rifle, however, is not in a position to do this, since there is no handle or anything with which the user might make an adjustment. The rifle is, therefore, always in the adjustment state in which it was issued.

The disengageable breechblock locking described or the switching-on at will of an additional restoring force on the trigger can be performed in common or separately on a weapon which is not equipped with the trigger arrangement according to the invention.

Hi Rabid, Wolverine has confirmed that the Gen 2 included both adapters and the Gen 1 was only for the AR style rear.

Anyone try the Gen1 version? it looks like the buttstock post screws in but has no provision for the adapter that keeps it from rotating? How do you mount the stock without it spinning loose since the post is keyed to the stock?

This is regarding cutting a part of the mag well to use AR mags.

What is the best way to cut these out? A friend of mine just got a SL8-4 and he's come to me to do it. But I want to do a clean job.
Thanks!

To me, milling would be the most accurate and clean.

If your stuck with hand tools I'd gravitate toward a small, sharp chisel taking off small pieces until you reach the correct level.

Lastly, a dremel with a rotary chisel. The issue with dremels is that its easy to go to far, and there's issues with heat generated.

Just take it slow, and it'll be fine.
