Prometheus Posted August 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 hmm it looks quite nice with the kinda navy receiver actaully. IMHO that is. so flame me for it all you like! so which parts from a g36c do you need for the sl9 conversion as ive been looking into it for a long time? love sl9s! and that looks like my grandads house cept the leather and the sl9! but looks ace! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The SL9 conversion kit from a company called "STAR". They charge $248 for the SL9 conversion kit and $250 for the SL8. The installation is somewhat simple if you have worked on your gun a bit. ~P Link to post Share on other sites
Glaive Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Well, you need the mechbox, assorted screws, hopup/barrel *albatross*'y, and magwell. Actually, Star only makes the SL9, as that is the military version. Poly, another company, makes the SL8 for 250, and it's nowhere near as good. Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted August 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Don't you just take the receiver, stock, front handguar, trigger assembly, and rail off and then slap on the SL9 kit? I thought that you just popped off the original reciever and such and put the SL9 stuff onto the original frame... ~P Link to post Share on other sites

Glaive Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Yeah. The scope on my buddies XM8 is ######. He drilled it out and flush mounted a green laser there. And no, you have you put a different receiver on, Prom. Link to post Share on other sites
HeuteGegangen Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 That is a really great looking Xm8 there AustinWolv! What do you think of the red dot? Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Having seen both, the Poly version is the same as the star only it is lighter, and it slightly more easy to grip, however I prefer the smooth finish of the sl-9. Link to post Share on other sites
AustinWolv Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 That is a really great looking Xm8 there AustinWolv! What do you think of the red dot? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Red dot makes the gun usable IMO. I didn't like it at all with the fake sight housing, as you had to look around the gun to see where you are shooting. Now it fits ergonomically awesome, very comfortable to shoot. The red dot itself is pretty nice....multiple types of reticules, a number of brightness settings, and you can choose between red or green reticules. Link to post Share on other sites

ColSanders Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Wonder how difficult it would be to track down a real G36ke carry handle... and do mods to get it adapted... that's my only gripe with the MG36 and G36k Kits... Alex "Col Sanders" Link to post Share on other sites
staticzero Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Pretty easy to find, relatively speaking. However, they are quite expensive. Little overkill for airsoft use if you ask me, better to just get an EOTech if you have that kind of money to spend. Available here, though out of stock currently: http://www.calssportingarmory.com/HK%20G36%20Accessories.htm And here's the dual optic with 1.5x: http://www.impactguns.com/store/219546.html Link to post Share on other sites
ColSanders Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Where's the fun when you already got an Eotech . And they don't sell a 1.5x handle... do I fell like spending $700 on optics alone though on a $400 airsoft gun... oh decisions decisions... I think the M733 may be put up for sale with the eotech...

staticzero Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Heh, well go nuts then I guess. The 1.5x optical only version is less common these days, from what I've seen. I'm sure you could still find it though, if you wanted it that bad. Link to post Share on other sites
AustinWolv Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Which Bushnell model is it? Trophy 1 x 30? How easy was the installation? Cheers Rory <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pretty sure it was this one: http://www.peepsun.com/73-0134.html Installation was......tedious. Would have been pretty easy given the right equipment, but all I have at home to remove material is a Dremel tool. Took a lot of cutting on the thicker portion of the Bushnell housing to get it down to size to fit in the XM8 sight housing, plus removing some material from the inside of the XM8 sight housing. Fitting it in otherwise was pretty easy. Just marked where the dials needed to exit and cut holes big enough. Used the front bracket portion of the fake sight lens that fits into the housing as a holding "guide"......it too had to have the hole in it enlarged to fit around the tube of the reddot sight. The rear end of the tube fit perfectly in the existing rear hole of the XM8 sight housing. Because of the Dremeling on the sight and test-fitting it in the housing, it took the better part of two nights to complete. But once in, fit great and works great. Link to post Share on other sites

Prometheus Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Anyone know if the Metal cocking handle they sell for the G36c is good? I think its by either Classic army or G&P. Not sure. All I know is that it really ###### me off that it feels so plasticky. Also, I have officially field stripped my G36c for the 10th time. WooT. I know my gun inside and out ( haven't taken Gearbox apart yet. Don't want to ruin any chance I have of upgrading it. I haven't taken apart a V3 yet and am a little apprehensive about it.) ~P Link to post Share on other sites

eltee Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 The Pink gun and cammo are too much! I especially like the "Hello Kitty" name tag and Kitty logo on his sleeve. A nice contrast to the Flecktarn, digicammo, DPM, Treebark Ninja uniforms with SuperCommandoSWATdeltaSASsealteamRangerSPECOPSsocom stuff all over them. Link to post Share on other sites
