Ohhhh, sexy I think the SL8 was $2k iirc. I really wanted to convert it to a G36K style, and there were kits available for it, just never got around to itAnd why I'm leaning toward an H&K for my next purchase. Still, for what you pay for that name anything short of perfection wouldn't be acceptable.
Still having a hard time swallowing the fact that it's 3X the price of pretty much everything else in 556
If it's just for plinking and you want something tactical looking, why not drop $700 on a Norinco AR15? http://marstar.ca/dynamic/product.jsp?productid=75213
