H&K G36/SL8 Upgrades

With the Spuhr upgrade kit this well-functioning weapon gets a modern touch and readies it for additional years in service. The project goals were to lower the weight, add professional back-up iron sights, a lower top-rail and of course add the capability of using standard M4/M16 magazines. 

R-1 G36 Top Rail
We developed a new Picatinny Gen2 top rail - the R-1 - with a lower overall height (200 gram), integrated adjustable back-up iron sights and a lowered section for using a night vision monocular behind a red dot sight. The sights are fitted with tritium inserts. 

For those who prefer a full length rail without the lowered portion, there is a Picatinny spacer included (see picture below).

Please note that the Picatinny rail is heavily dehorned to prevent burrs etc. after heavy use. Also a way of saving the hands and fingers of the users. 

Accessories, such as the Oerlikon LLM laser can be mounted on the top rail, rather than on the forend as to ensure that the point of aim will remain true even as the forend flexes and moves. 

R-8 G36 Mag Conversion Kit
We also developed the R-8 ambidextrous magwell assembly with an extended bolt stop, allowing the use of standard "STANAG-pattern" M4/M16 magazines and with a hidden storage compartment for a CR2032 or CR1/3N battery.

R-22 G36C Forend
We also developed the lightweight R-22 handguard, featuring a slimmer profile with Spuhr Interfaces along the top and sides and a Picatinny Gen2 rail along the bottom, for mounting an underslung HK GLM.

We can also offer the R-23 forend for G36K and the R-24 for full-length G36E carbines. 

With our interface system the user gets a flexible lightweight system with only advantages. The rest of the equipment is heavy enough.
