Ballistic Stats
A revolutionary rifle design—the HK SL8-6 is constructed almost entirely of a reinforced carbon-fiber polymer. Based on the combat-proven G36 rifle used by the German Army, the SL8-6 uses a proven short stroke, piston-actuated gas operating system, well known for simplicity and reliability. Designed and engineered to deliver exceptional shooting performance, the SL8 is a favorite among European target shooters, due in large part to its modular construction and free-floating bull barrel.

Hk Sl8-6 Capacity
The HK SL8-6 is based directly on the G36, and uses the same translucent magazines. Shipped with a 10-round box magazine, 30-round box mags are also available as are 100-round drum magazines. Adapters exist from aftermarket sources allowing the user to replace the magazine well to allow the SL8-6 to accept all AR15 pattern magazines.
Hk Sl8-6 Feature
The HK SL8-6 is a semi-automatic rifle designed as a variant of the G36 and was re-configured with a bull barrel to improve accuracy and a thumbhole stock to circumvent restrictions to US Import Laws. Its controls and internals are identical to the G36 with its ambidextrous safety and top-mounted charging handle.
Hk Sl8-6 Ergonomics
Available with a 12” Picatinny rail or a 20” extended top rail, the SL8-6 has the same handling as the G36 with the exception of a thumbhole stock. Designed as a marksman rifle, the stock has a cheek riser on it for a proper weld when looking through mounted optics.
Hk Sl8-6 Mobility
Measuring about 40 inches long with an unloaded weight of 8.5 pounds, this rifle wouldn’t be difficult to carry over long distances, however moving through close-quarters environments may prove challenging.
Hk Sl8-6 Fit-N-Finish
The HK SL8-6 uses a 20.9 inch heavy-profile barrel with an 11 degree crown on the muzzle. Its action is just as smooth as the G36 rifle, and it is built with the same unparalleled quality we’ve come to expect out of Heckler & Koch, GmbH.
