The SL8-6 is the final production revision of the SL8, incorporating minor ergonomic improvements over the original SL8 including a revised thumbhole stock profile and updated handguard. The core mechanism, barrel, and overall specification are unchanged from the SL8. Production ended with the expiration of the 1994 AWB in 2004, after which HK restructured its US import lineup rather than resuming the SL8 format.
