CobaltSky Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Not really. Just buy a Star conversion kit and sell teh bits you don't want. Link to post Share on other sites
LtDeathSauce Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Would this help? I know it would help me... Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltSky Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 The CA looks good but I've decided I'm going to save myself some money for the time being and just get a TM G36C. Later I'll get the SL9-SD kit (cause it has the red HK logo instead of the subdued one) even if it costs me more in the long run it will spread the costs out. Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyMoFo Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 well when i had the SL9 i sometimes used it like this: looked much nicer with a long mag in but meh.. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltSky Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Is the receiver really that bad of a colour match or is it just the picture? Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyMoFo Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 just the picture buddy, not too bad a match in real life, just a little hint of blue in the SL9 body Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltSky Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I just remembered I was going to paint it OD so it doesn't matter anyway lol Link to post Share on other sites
LtDeathSauce Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Awesome, Well, just thought I'd give a plug, in the rare rare chance no one had seen it. Is the TM g36 plagued with as many problems in the selector area that the CA is? Link to post Share on other sites
Kov Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I just got the CA8-2 and would suggest you go with it instead of any of the other makes and models if you must make an SL9. I have a guide up right now (no pictures) that should be fixed by the end of today with an amendment with a link to my review of the CA8-2. Kov Link to post Share on other sites
NecronomicoN Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Thanksfor all the input guys. I haven't posted here in this thread for a while, but now that I have this project almost complete, I'd like to ask a few things 1. I will probobly be buying a plastic gearbox version of a BE SL8 to harvest the stock and receiver, the rest goes into my big bin of parts . The question is: I want to use my current TM G36 gearbox (which is highly upgraded), but need to know if the dimensions on the BE gearbox are different enough to need modification to the receiver/stock to make the TM gearbox fit inside. I also plan on using my current selectors as the BE ones look like garbage, but those will be an easy fit. I can do extensive fitting if need be for the gearbox with a dremel. I just want to know what I am getting myself into before I lay down any money. 2. How is the plastic quality on the BE SL8? From all the pics I have seen, it looks fine. However, as with some LPEGs, the external quality can be quite crappy (IE my UTG MP5 and AK were solid as the mauri, but my roommate's BE XM8 is trash externally...well, internally as well ). The plastic on it was sub-springer quality. If it is ###### plastic, I'm not even going to bother as I can be very paticular about the aesthetics of my guns. I think thats all I really need to know at the moment and would appreciate if someone could give me some advice that has handled or owns a BE SL8. My local suppliers don't stock any LPEGs aside from UTG so I have nothing to go on at the moment. My search for reviews will continue but have thus far turned up nothing. Oh, for those curious, my end project will end up being (Parts marked with an * have already been installed). TM G36C* Systema spring (Over forum limits here)* CA 6mm oilless steel bushings* G&G reinforced spring guide taken from a UMG* CA 1.5x optic carry handle taken from a CA36* Custom rail added to carry handle to mount BSA PMRS reflex sight* BSA PMRS 4 reticle reflex sight* CA G36C large handguard* Phantom flashider* Brinkmaan P6 tactical lamp* UTG ergonomical vertical grip* PPA STANAG conversion magwell (To be purchased very soon) Metal charging handle (Also will be purchased soon) 9.6v 3600mAh large battery* 30A fuse* G36C tightbore (will be the last addition, as my gun is currently dead on as is to 150 feet) SL8 receiver and stock (Will hopefully be taken from a BE SL8) 8 Pack of MAG 100 round M16 midcaps with HK logos Thats about it. Again, thanks for all your help guys, I really appreciate all the input and the photos of those that liked my idea. Link to post Share on other sites
LePsycho Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Thanks everyone, I'm jumping for joy at seeing those pictures, I thought this up yesterday and was worried the rails wouldn't work or the kit would look strange, but it's fantastic! Now all I need is the money to make one... I estimate at about £500, I have about £150 Is there anyway to buy the SL9 parts (TM kit) without having to buy the whole thing. I could sell the extra parts, but I can't see them being that useful to anyone, unless the barrel and handguard can attach and make a G36E I modifyed NecronomicoN great Paint concepts to give an idea of how it could look: http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b169/the...w¤t=b.png <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did you intend for that to look exactly like the G2A2 assault rifle from FEAR? Stick a drum mag in and it's nearly picture perfect, bar a slightly shorter handguard and colouring... Guess NecronomicoN's is the G2A1 or something Link to post Share on other sites
Maple-Leaf Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Have a look at this as well: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...dpost&p=1159036 For what you intend to do, I'd say start with a CA8 and then just add a G36K front end kit (easily obtainable).

LePsycho Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Those who've made this already, how hard is it to put together? Oh, and would G36 mags fit in the normal M4 pouches? I really like this, especially if I can afford to add a Moscart Mini Grenade Launcher on the RIS Storming a room would be fun Link to post Share on other sites
Maple-Leaf Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Oh, and would G36 mags fit in the normal M4 pouches? A double-mag M4 pouch will hold 1 G36 mag, a triple-mag M4 pouch will hold 2 G36 mags. Or.... you could get a G36 mag-well converter from Private Parts Airsoft and use M4/M16 mags in your G36.

I really like this, especially if I can afford to add a Moscart Mini Grenade Launcher on the RIS Storming a room would be fun <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's very easy, basically the same as fitting an SL9 kit without changing the inner barrel or front end. Just remember you need both the receiver and stock of the SL9, just the stock will not fit a normal G36 receiver. Link to post Share on other sites
LePsycho Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 A double-mag M4 pouch will hold 1 G36 mag, a triple-mag M4 pouch will hold 2 G36 mags. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Great, I was about to buy some AK sized pouches, but I've already got 6 M4 Double-Mag pouches. Those who've made the thing, does it "feel" right, or does the thumb hole just seem weird? I cost the entire thing at about £650 with ~£70 return for the extra parts, here's the list: TM G36C with upgraded 1J spring: £209.99 SL9-SD Kit: £214.99 4 140rd Mags: £60 Silencer: £24.99 Torch with attachments: £44.99 2 RIS Sling Mounts: £33.98 Inner Barrel: £16.99 Side Rails: £14.99 Sling: £10 Total: £630.92 (postage ~£20) What I'm not sure on are prices for the spare parts: SL9 Mag: ? (Basic G36 Mag) Handguard: ? Barrel: ? Carry Handle: ? Silencer (long): ? I've got £160 at the moment, and get £10 a week. That's about a year for the entire thing, or 8 months for the basic things. Maybe I convince my parents to just give me money in March for my birthday Either that, or get a job... Link to post Share on other sites
Maple-Leaf Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 It would be a lot cheaper, and probably easier also, to start with a CA8 and then swap the front end for a G36K or G36C front end kit. Link to post Share on other sites
Kov Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Yes, go with the CA8 and do not touch the STAR models unless you MUST have the white body of the SL8. My review is finaly up as well, so you can see if its right for you. The CA8 with G36c front end is very fun and practical to use, its also one heck of a looker on any feild you will go to.

tyrone9887 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Right i'm attempting this project in the near future. I have a TM G36c. I will start off with the large laylax handguard and side RIS rails. I then plan to buy a star sl9 kit and use the receiver and stock from that. I have heard there are problems with the star version can anybody tell me anymore about this and what good alternatives are there? Thanks in advance and thanks Necro for the ideas! cheers Ty Link to post Share on other sites
Ledpocket Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I recently completed a blatant ripoff of necro's original idea (but with the patented Ledpocket chop-suey ) First the photo chopped inspiration: I used a DE SL-8, CA Ras front set, m4 magwell with the warhead uzi convo.

RPK Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Wow, I never thought I'd live to see the day that someone managed to put two magwell conversions in one gun. Link to post Share on other sites
n00bTard Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Just found this thread, and I saw someone posted a pic of the G2A2 from F.E.A.R., which has been a project gun for me for a while now. Here's where I'm at with it: More pics in the G36 pictures thread. I'm thinking of adding a Cmag, but not sure it will look right... "real" Cmags are very different from what they used in F.E.A.R. and much larger... I might try it anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
