H&K G36?

Recommended Posts

I shot one of those out in Georgia a few years ago in semi and full-auto.  It's a nice rifle, but I still prefer the AR platform which has much less recoil and feels more comfortable to me.

 

I noticed a lot of FA rental ranges have the G36

What most people seem to do is find an HK SL8 and do a conversion to a semi G36. I saw an SL8 at OMG Custom Guns a couple years ago so it definitely seems NJ legal.

 

Most FA G36's are NFA post samples. I shot one a couple weeks ago and it was sweet.

Due to US Importation laws H&K is unable to import a civilian version of the G36 to US because of the "evil" features it has (pistol grip, >10 round mags, etc,etc). To get around this, H&K created the SL8. The SL8 is based on the G36 but with major differences.

 

This guy converted his SL8 into a G36 "Clone":

I've seen the SL8 conversions to the G36, but I heard the SL8 wasn't that great

Neither is the G36.

 

The rental ranges have them because everyone wants to shoot their favorite gun from their favorite favorite video game - Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Battlefield, etc....

 

Most of the agencies that had them state side, dumped them when accuracy and reliability issues cropped up whenever the gun got hot.

 

Germany recently sued HK for selling them crappy guns. The court said yes, they guns are crappy, but they meet and or exceed what you specced for the rifle you solicited and chose. Bottom line - Germany dropped the G36 but HK won the lawsuit.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
