Re: HK SL-7 ?

They are/were (depending on your locale) excellent rifles. HK has ceased importing them to the US as of many, MANY years ago (I can't recall if they are still available in Europe/elsewhere), but they make excellent hunting/sporting rifles.

The internals are HK91/G3 through and through. Delayed roller lock action, etc. They had polygonal barrels as well which led to excellent barrel life and accuracy. You get the same rugged reliability that you do with the HK91/G3, but in a sporting rifle package with a 3-round mag, wood stock, etc.

I think they might have stopped making them. I guess the one you saw used to belong to a fellow shooter until the great Australian gun ban!

I remember driving thru Mt. Isa years ago on my way Darwin, I seem to remember we took out a roo on the way. Very thirsty country if you like a tinny or two!

I remember the road trains taking out whole heards of cattle. I worked on a buffalo station as a ringer east of Darwin just past a small town called Humpty Doo - there was a good pub there called the Bark Hut. I miss those Darwin stubbies! I remember my NT rifle permit cost me $2!

Re: HK SL-7 ?

wow i have spent a bit of time at the bark hut when i was younger its still a pretty good pub . . . wish it was as easy to get a rifle permit now as it was then

but its not and i cant see it ever being that easy again . . . they are bringing the NT in line with the rest of the country we got speed limits now you can only buy fire works for two days of the year , there making it harder to get guns , legally
it just isn't the same place it use to be

Re: HK SL-7 ?

This rifle has not been made for many years. Spare magazines for it in both 4 and 10 round versions are hard to find and expensive. If you want to mount a scope on it, a good HK-05 mount will set you back a considerable chunk of change. I would not even consider the cheap B Square mount for it. Internal parts, should they be needed, are also very hard to locate.
