Jagdraben Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Oh, sweet sexlings... too bad my money is earmarked for an MP7A1 and an F2000 (not that the latter train is ever going to come ). Link to post Share on other sites
Kov Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I am surprised at the price actualy, I was thinking more along the lines of $400+ Link to post Share on other sites

Kov Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Well, I am sure everyone else cares, but I ordered mine. Hopefully I will be the first to have my grubs on one and give a good synapses on the quality. Link to post Share on other sites
n00bTard Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 How much was shipping, if you don't mind me asking? I'm still trying to decide if I should wait for hotspot to get these in or to just go for it now... Link to post Share on other sites
Kov Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Shipping was about $62 which will be a very sad day for me if someone like Airsoftatlanta gets the CA8-2 for the same price... I chose to do the deal because I also ordered 5 G&P 120rnd midcaps with it as well, and it saved me $25 in costs getting it from Hong Knong... So it only cost me $37 (thats why I tell myself so I can sleep at night) Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltSky Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Makes me want to do a mash-up with a G36C and the SL8/9 stock and trigger group. I love that stock and I could get large batteries in there. Doesn't seem that the stock will ever be available separately so that'll remain a pipe dream. Link to post Share on other sites
n00bTard Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Problem is, it requires a different body to use that stock, so it would be a total body conversion to use it no matter what. If someone would sell just the stock and receiver, that would make me happy too... Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltSky Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I'm sure some modification would make it possible. I could always buy a complete kit and try it out. If it doesn't look like it would be possible then I can still convert the G36 between two different configuration depending on what type of field I'll be playing at. What I really want is a solid stock G36. I dislike folding stocks as I always feel nervous about them breaking somehow, even if it is unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites
Kov Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Well Cobalt, welcome to my world. I love the look of a full thumbhole stock on any G36 variant and have wanted one since I started airsoft many years ago. It is impossible to unite an SL8/9 stock with a regular G36 body without some serious stucko work… and then you would have a hell of a time keeping the stock attached. The whole reason I am getting that Sl9 is to convert it into a project I am working on. Think full length G36 with SL8 rail, black SL9 body, and M16 Vietnam magazines I purchased a STAR kit a while back since I loved SL9s stocks so much, but was very turned off by the poor quality of the kits and the shabby plastic (think Marui G36 plastic vs. CA36 glass fiber). I sold the kit parts that you were talking about on here several months ago and just waited for the CA-8 to come out. Now that it’s on the market I can finally get it and make my dream come true. As for the lucky lad that got my SL9 kit… it’s ironic that he is working on a project similar to mine. See here. I honestly cannot justify spending that much on an AEG… since I think airsoft burns cash like nothing else. However, I never keep the things I don’t use and always part guns out. From experience selling things, I can confidently say that my old AEG, Hand Guard With Bipod, and 3x Magnification Carry Handle will make the difference between getting the CA8 and my current loadout only about $150… and $120 of that is from new magazines I have purchased for my converter. That price I can justify. Hope that gives you some logic and ideas Kov Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltSky Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Is the hand guard assembly interchangeable then? I could get a 36c hand guard and top rail, chuck that on the SL9. From the looks of thinks they are attached in the same way, it would just be matter of finding someone parting out a CA36C Link to post Share on other sites
n00bTard Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Yep, that you can do no problem - you'll just have to change the inner barrel, which in the SL9's case, means 3 screws - to remove the gas block that he hop up is attached to. pop it off, change barrels, slide it back in and rescrew. Takes maybe 10 minutes. whatever you do, don't take a hacksaw to an inner barrel unless you have a way to bevel the end. Gazchap has a great SL9 conversion guide linked in his sig, that can also double as a great takedown guide for G36s. Link to post Share on other sites
Kov Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Yes, every other part is 100% interchangeable with any G36 make or model so your top rail and G36 front end will fit perfect. I currently have an inner barrel and hand guard for sale so you won’t have trouble finding them (they come up quite often on the sales section). Only cut inner barrels with either a pipe cutter or best of all, a lathe. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltSky Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I think I'll just buy a separate barrel thanks Although I do have access to a machine shop and some very skilled friends I'd rather have the spare barrel to convert it back into the SL-9 Link to post Share on other sites
Kov Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I was like that once too... but then I figured out that I will never use my G36c parts. Why? I guess I am a weapon master style player... focus on one weapon until you know it like an extension of your body. So I just end up using it for all the field I play (other than pistol games mind you ) Link to post Share on other sites
