Heckler and Koch has recently announced the reintroduction of the SL8 rifle to the U.S. Market.

The SL8 rifle is an import-legal version of the infamous G36 pattern and designed for precision shooting.

Heckler and Koch states “Back by popular demand, the SL8 is an import-legal version of the G36 designed for precision shooting. It features a cold-hammer forged barrel with a recessed crown.

The free-floating bull barrel is manufactured with the famous HK cannon grade steel.
