Glad to see other HK Guys nearby! I have the converted SL8 to G36
Here's mine:

Hey all, I figure it's time to post a few photos of my guns with a back-story behind each one.
I have an HK P30 which has been my daily carry for the past 5ish years which has the rattle fix using a gray electrical heat-shrink tube ( I didn't have any black on hand, I'll change it later, it's not permanent and leaves no marks ). Initially I had a Bersa .380 and never had an issue with it despite shooting it quite a bit. I wanted to go back to HK for my EDC because of being in the military, living in Germany and being stationed all over Germany for around 6 years.
The P8 is by far my favorite USP variant due to the reversed safety lever, it just makes sense that when you go for a normal grip when drawing your thumb will move the lever automatically to the fire position. I was also issued a G36E and had the opportunity to shoot the MG3 quite a bit. I shot a 3 round burst and noticed my rounds weren't going where I thought they should so I inquired about how to use the sights. After that out of 150 people I shot it the best so I got to lug it and shoot it around each time we did a field exercise.
I have an HK Imported Benelli M1 Super 90 which I'm actually thinking of selling because I'm scared to shoot it ( I have a broken neck and back from a car accident where a lady decided it was more imported to ignore a stop sign and pay no attention to where she was going which leaves me unable to move on some days, literally, meaning I am stuck in bed sometimes until everything decides to work again - Happened in May of 11 ). The Benelli is in near flawless condition with only a few scrapes on one side which only smoothed the matte finish a little bit but you can only see it in the perfect lighting conditions.
I may show a photo of the Rossi .357 magnum model 461 6 shooter snub. It's strictly a snake gun as I've had to dispatch cotton-mouths and other snakes on my property because my 85 year old grandmother with Alzheimer's / dementia loves to walk and is oblivious to some of the dangers so I have to keep the yard safe. I may change this out to a Serbu super shorty using bird-shot, and possibly design my own cartridge so that it'll be smaller for more rounds using bird-shot or so. Not a lot is needed to dispatch a snake. That's of course dependent on the recoil but with bird-shot I'm sure it can't be all too bad.
Finally, I converted my HK SL8-6 to a G36E through Tom Bostic; he did an absolutely stunning job on the rifle. I did get 5 internal 922r parts and a US flash-hider so I can use the German G36 mags of which I have 9. Special thanks to Tom Bostic, GSC, MaxFan, HKParts.net, RTG and others I'm probably forgetting for parts!
I did buy an M4 StripLula in order to modify that to work with G36 mags ( I'm going to try boiling it in water, and then heating with a heat gun until it's pliable enough to form it to a mag; I'd like to get a metal mold so I don't have to worry about damaging my mags so if anyone has one I'd love to borrow it ). Tom has an incredibly quick turn-around time and communicates quickly and professionally. ( I'm sadly considering selling this due to Obamacare. I received a letter from Blue Cross of SC telling me that my health-insurance is not compatible with Obamacare early 2014 they will drop me. I've tried searching around for alternative health-insurance but as of yet no one wants to take me due to the pre-existing injuries meaning everything will be out of pocket... )
On to the photos and I apologize for the backwards loaded mags:
G36 Bolt open right side:
G36 Left side bolt open 2 mags clipped together and the strap between the two mags to keep it out of the way until it's needed:
G36 Rotated photo right side with stock folded, 2 mags clipped together:
G36 Left side bolt open 2 mags clipped together and the strap between the two mags:
G36 Left side bolt open folded stock showing most mags ( 1 not in the shot as it's taken apart so I can modify the StripLula ) bag of replaced 922r parts ( only 3 of the 5 replaces are in the bag, the other 2 are in the safe ), original receipts, 416 sights and sight tool makes an appearance:
G36 same as above but flipped over:
Unfolded stock, the weapon records book makes an appearance ( I now have everything written in that, Tom Bostics card and copies of receipts stapled to the rear in the same side so it fits nicely ):
G36 Another flipped:
HK Imported Benelli M1 Super 90 - left side, tons of oil, ghost loaded, trying to capture the "scrapes":
HK Imported Benelli M1 Super 90 - right side, showing ghost loaded ( the gray lines appear to be cat hair ):
HK Imported Benelli M1 Super 90 - High quality right side shot with tons of oil ( I keep all of my guns lubed well, probably why the P30 looks like it hasn't been shot ):
P30 left side:
P30 right side:
P30 and Rossi 461 - shows the P30 UBG Holster ( Nate makes a great holster, it makes the pistol literally feel as though it's a part of your body and you can easily forget you are carrying a full size ):
Another of the same:
All together now:
My collection definitely isn't as large as many other members, and unfortunately I will have to downsize ( The Benelli unless I just use bird-shot if the recoil is low enough for snakes, but I already have a revolver for snakes and I'm thinking of a super shorty if the bird-shot doesn't recoil badly; if anyone has one I can shoot in SC I'd love to try it ///// And unfortunately possibly the G36 because of having to pay out of pocket because of Obamacare but I'm trying hard to never let that one go, it's just such a beautiful work of art and I really can't give Tom enough props on it! ) unless I want to keep some of them just to have them in the "collection" and due to the Obamacare debacle.
