Looks dead sexy, brother.
Thanks Joe! I think this is how the SL8 should have been in the first placeI wasnt a big fan of the original, but this one looks great!
Good questionThat really came together nicely! I gather that this is not considered a full G36 conversion?
From what I've read the Germans didn't like us taking the barrels off so they applied some sort of loctite toHi Vivec,
Does the barrel need to be removed before it is cut?
I have the new SL8-6 and I think that the barrel is too tight and can't be removed.
I am not sure -- I sent the whole rifle to Tommy and he cut it for me. I did hear about barrel removal problems though so that is why I sent it out to the expert instead of going with a local gunsmithHi Vivec,

The point of impact changed a bit, but it seems just as accurate as before; I only tested up to 100 yards though -- perhaps further out it becomes more apparent ?? The SL8 does have a really thick barrel though so I think it does not matter too much if it is 20" or 16.5".What kind of accuracy are you getting with the cut down barrel?
