When I put my ad up I put a counter on it as an option. Only the seller can see it. I believe in the old days anyone could see it.0 -
i usally list stuff just before christmas. doesnt cost anything untill it sells. just auto relist and someone will buy it. might take untill after the new year. i found stuff sells best right around feb march when the income tax returns start coming in. 0 -
Buyers can still see the counters,..........735 right now. 0 -
Maybe you should add the caliber. That might bring on some bidders. 0 -

In all fairness, I am sure he presumes anyone looking for an HK SL8, knows they are .223/5.56 0 -
Someone is going to get a STEAL of a deal. Nice rifle! 0 -
Well thanks guys. Now my hits have doubled [:D][:D][:D], but still no buyers [;)].
I did not think about adding the Caliber as others have said it only comes in one cal and anyone looking for one should know.
Marc I could not remember, I thought the counters had changed, I guess not and that is fine.0 -
I think your price is fair... but I just know I'll come across one at a Gun Show for $800 someday[:D] 0 -

I have never thought those things where very appealing, they look fake to me0 -
I know they are supposed to be great rifles, but to me it looks kind of cheap, and ugly. I like my rifles to have some wood on them, not be all plastic. 0 -

He had a G36 build in mind, which would change the appearance dramatically.
If I had the time and inclination to do the build, that SL8 would be gone right now, and in my name![:D]
Nwcid,.......just put it on auto-relist, it will sell after New Years, and folks have absorbed their holiday "spending".
Keep posting some of your awesome pics from time to time.0 -
Man you guys are sure keeping this thread alive [:D][:D][:D]
I have heard these are very accurate guns to shoot, but I think I put 20-30 rds through it when I got it. I know the ad says more, but I would rather be over then under. They have less recoil then the AR series here is a cool Video . I was planning on doing doing the G36 conversion but I have too many other expensive projects [:D]
Well Marc here is some more pics for you and a story to go with it [:p]
I will stick to HK stuff even. So there is a G36 and the SL8 is the import version, there is also a UMP (Universal Machine Pistol) and an import version the USC. I bought a USC as well back in the day and I did get it converted.
Here is a stock USC:
It was fun to shoot but it only has a 10rd mag and spare mags run about $50. Well 10rds is no fun at all so I had to get larger mags. At the time there was only a conversion to use Grease Gun mags, now there is a option to use UMP mags. I would still go with GG mags as UMP mags are in the $75 range and GG mags are in the $25 range. The UMP mags would me more "true" but I am not that anal.
Step one of the conversion as I did not have all the money to do the full conversion at the time. You also have to send it out to have the gun died in the full conversion:
Well about a year ago there was a sale on the rest of the parts to finish the conversion so I got right on it and had it finished. It too me about 6 weeks to get it back but it was well worth the wait.
Full conversion for GG mags:

The only other cooler thing I could do is put a suppressor on it. I don't live in a state that allows SBR so I am kinda stuck unless I want to hang one off the end and I don't.
If I could SBR I would have this added (real UMP with suppressor):
Well I hope you all enjoyed story time [:D][:D][:p]0 -

I can't believe that is possible![:D]
Very nice pics,.......appreciated.
After seeing many of your pics, I can't even imagine the amount of "dough" you have tied up in your "hobby"!
I have considered getting Class 3 myself,.......I DO know what is involved, taxes, etc.
I would be cleared for it no problem, but while I am quite capable of spending the money, there is just no place around here to shoot them on a regular basis.
Plus I believe it can become an "addiction",........wonder if that is true?[;)]0 -

Yeah well that new M1A I just got needs a Scope and Mount. By the time I am done I will be into the whole thing for about $2500. Need to free up some cash somewhere [:)]

The gun for sale is an SL8 in .223. My story is about the little brother to the SL8 the USC which is in .45 ACP.0 -
Doug is still tired from his "cowpoke" adventure last night![:D][;)] 0 -
Dang at the close I had 2205 hits. That is very very impressive. 0 -
Thats a good price and it will sell for 1300.00
I sold one a couple years ago what you are asking and it sold pretty quick.
When income tax returns start rolling in it should sell.0 -
I will second the ugly gun statement.
Looks like something that you would find at the Dollar Store in the squirt gun section.0 -
To me there is a critiacl piece of info missing from your discription!!!
May not be important to most but to me it is.
Did you send that 100 Rd's breaking her in or just burning ammo!!!
The reason I buy most of my guns new is because I am as finicky as Morris the Cat!!0
