I have recently seen a few adds for a magwell cut and convered on the HK sl8 rifle to allow it to accept M16/Ar15 Mags. The sellers of this conversion are saying that it is legal. Is this true??? Can I buy an sl8 and convert the mag well to accept Hi caps legally? If so how is this legally possible? And finally where are the kits commonly sold....? Thanx guys

    Aside from getting the parts for this weapon....I am more interested in the laws. How can you convert a postban weapon to accept preban mags legally?

    JMMSID,
    It can be done the same way as converting to US legal AK's ... add enough US made parts, use preban mags ...

    If you really desire something, you'll find a way ?
    ? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.

    Top Notch Accessories of Mesa, AZ
    Look for their ad in Shotgun News.
    There are also a couple people with a process to re-color SL-8's black and a stock conversion is due out in the near future.

    Stock conversion is already available. Top Notch has them, either for $325 or $350. Can't remember exactly which.
