Spuggy1uk Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Hi All, Just a quick question - can anyone recommend an SL8 or SL9 worth getting? I'm pretty new to this and after an evening of Googling for reviews or availability my head is spinning! I like the look of it and would like to get one as a DMR (project if necessary). Cheers.

Supporters Samurai Posted April 22, 2016 Supporters Share Posted April 22, 2016 No. It's a g36 with a different body, but less versatile. Just go for a g36e instead IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spuggy1uk Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Thanks Samurai, I had my heart set on the SL types because I like the sleek shape and because they are 'a bit different' from the norm. If they are really just no good, who does a decent G36 type? Externals would be more important to me than internals, as I would be doing some 'tinkering'!

Spatch Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I've got a mate who is selling an echo1 MTC which is brand spanking new, SL8 body with a shorter G36 size barrel, he's not on this forum but have a look online at the reviews etc, it's a nice rifle and got great reviews and I can put you in touch if that's so,etching you'd be interested in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Samurai Posted April 23, 2016 Supporters Share Posted April 23, 2016 JG is okay. I think CA is not available anymore. Internally they are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the offer though and it has introduced another interesting manufacturer to me (never heard of Echo1 - I'm new!). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spatch Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Wouldn't take much to lock to semi and I believe it came into the country doing around 390 fps, have a think mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Samurai Posted April 23, 2016 Supporters Share Posted April 23, 2016 Would this be the G36's or the SL types? Both. Internally they're the same. Locking to semi is removing the selector plate. Simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
