TommyBuilt Tactical LLC created a bolt-on XM8-style furniture kit for the SL8 riffle. This has been an unobtainable platform and made famous through various video games. This is a unique piece in any firearms collection.
Production companies, please inquire by phone for availability.
This kit is designed with a five-position telescoping stock, like the original. It has a dual sling pin, rear mount, top rail, and hand guard. This kit is available with an extended K-size hand guard designed to cover the factory SL8 gas block position, as well as a C-length hand guard. These kits are made of a glass-filled nylon product and are produced on a very limited basis since the SL8 has not been in production in many years. Custom installation with receiver recontouring, laser engraving, Magwell conversions, and barrel work are all available. The XM8 used the ISM-V optic, which is out of production and difficult to find. The rear has a small rail mount section to accommodate most optics. The average labor cost is typically $600.

- Convert SL8 to double stack mag. $225
