Not much as far as quality of work. Bostic has a faster turn around time.

I only have Tbostic version and Tom did a very good job and excellent communication and service. He also can have it done in about 2~3 weeks. I like to get one from Joe but he is too busy so wait time will be much longer. In general both are the best. Thanks

On your conversion, where the receiver is milled out does he strengthen it with a steel plate? I have read how Chopstix does his but not tbostic. I have stared buying all the pieces for the conversion. I am not worried about time it takes. I just want the best.

Mine was done about 1 year ago labor cost is about $1400. I Think Tom does use steel plate on the receiver joint area and mag well . IIRC there were some threads talk about it but I can't find them. Have you read this FAQ by Joe. http://www.hkpro.com/forum/hk-reference-library/124810-sl8-g36-conversion-reference-faq.html
Just PM them for more specific questions.

Chopstix is about $1400 (full conversion, mag well, and remarking)
Tommy is about $900 (same)
I don't think that Tommy used to do the steel rod in the magwell, but he very well may have started. I would expect that he'll pop into this thread in due time and speak for himself.

Here you go :wink:http://www.hkpro.com/forum/hk-long-gun-talk/136622-who-does-best-g36-conversions.html#post1012002
I would go with Tom just because his wait time is shorter.

I have a two of TBostic's conversions and I am extremely pleased with both. Just got my G36K back from him this week and the turn around was around 2 weeks, price was $950 plus 35 for return shipping. Well worth it since the end product looks amazing.

Tommy Rules !! i have a friend there that sent him 2 ugly sl8´s , then he got back a G36K and a G36C , both correctly engraved and best of all , he shot almost 2k rounds on each toy and no flaws , cracks or whatever on them .......send him your rifles with total confidence , 2 weeks later you´ll feel like Lara Croft´s illuminati henchmen or like Mr Norris at "the expendables"........ he´ll make your dreams come true, PERIOD.

You won't be disappointed. Tom did a phenomenal job on my C a while back. His turnaround time is amazing.

Tom did a G36C for me a while back and it's awesome. He is currently working on a UMP conversion for me. Hope to have that back in a few days. And then the wait for the stamp...
