HK SL8 to SL9 conversion

Quick question for the SL8 owners out there. Is it possible to replace the handguard and top rail of the SL8 with the SL9/G36 style rail and handguard? Is it a straightforward swap? Does it require modding?

Any help is appreciated!

Yeah, It is extremely easy. As far as I know, all brands are compatible with each other, expecpting the stocks.

Sounds great. I've been meaning to get the SL9 but its got a really long wait time at the moment. The only thing keeping me away from the SL8 was the top rail and handguard style.
Lastly, which top rail and handguard should I be looking for if I want to match the look of the SL9. Should the handguard be from a G36c, G36, G36k or G36E? What about the top rail?


Thanks guys!
