Item # 203569 Style SPR-HL916556B UPC 706397956776 Condition New Manufacturer [Springfield Armory](https://www.kygunco.com/brand/springfield-armory) Model Hellion Hand Ambi Finish Black Round Capacity 30 Caliber 5.56 NATO, 223 Rem Action Semi-Auto Barrel Length 16 in The new Hellion™ from Springfield Armory represents a radically unique and innovative approach to firearms design, helping to redefine perceptions of semi-automatic 5.56mm performance. Featuring a “bullpup” configuration where the action is located behind the trigger, the Hellion features an overall length of just 28.25-inches while still possessing a 16” barrel. The Hellion sports ambidextrous controls that work in concert with a reversible case ejection system. The result is a 5.56 that combines portability with potent performance. #### Features - **QD Points** The Hellion comes with QD mount points on both sides of the 5.56mm bullpup, ensuring you can use the sling of your choice, arranged for use from either side. - **Bullpup Design** The bullpup system moves the action and the magazine back behind the trigger, reducing the overall length drastically while still retaining effective downrange performance. - **Adjustable Gas System** The Hellion 5.56mm bullpup features a two-position adjustable gas block with “S” suppressed and “N” normal modes to adapt to conditions and ammo availability. #### Specifications - **Barrel** 16" CMV, Melonite®, 1:7 - **Front Sight** Integrated Flip-Up, Elevation Adjustable - **Rear Sight** Integrated Flip-Up w/ 5-Position Aperture, Windage Adjustable - **Bolt Carrier Group** Proprietary, Melonite® - **Gas System** 2-Position Adjustable, Short Stroke Piston - **Handguard** Polymer, M-Lok® - **Stock** 5-Position Adjustable w/ Cheek Riser - **Muzzle Device** 4-Prong Flash Hider - **Charging Handle** Ambidextrous, Non-Reciprocating - **Safety** Switch Ambidextrous - **Grip** BCMGUNFIGHTER™ Mod 3 - **Magazines** (1) 30-Round Magpul PMAG Gen M3 - **Weight** 8 lbs - **Length** 28.25" - 29.75" ** WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

I tried the Steyr Aug, IWI Tavor, Desert Tech SRS, Famas, SAR 21, and the Bushmaster M17s; so I think I am a bit experienced in shooting them. Right now, the Hellion is my #1 Bullpup. Why? 1) Build Quality 2) Battle tested 3)Super Compact(16” but shorter than my DD MK18 10.5”) 4) Intuitively made 5) HK-like feel with front left charging handle & HK like assembly/disassembly, 6)Flat shooter(makes you a better shooter), and finally 7) It has ambi everything.What I do not like about the Hellion: 1) The name, 2) The Trigger(better than a Aug though), 3) Won’t lock back the bolt unless you have an empty mag the bolt will open/lock till you insert the new mag, and finally 4) The price! I purchased this when it first came out from KCO, it was $1850! Now it’s $1650-$1800?! Craziness! Overall I love this rifle. The controls like the safety lever is at a weird place or angle but it’s not a deal breaker. 4/26/2023 ** ** ** ** ** ** David RITZVILLE, WA Great bull pup, great work by kygunco quick and secure 3/15/2023 ** ** ** ** ** ** Dennis Bloomfield, KY This gun is fantastic; it is so much fun to shoot. 2/4/2023 ** ** ** ** ** ** Verified Customer AAAAA+++++ Transaction.

The 1st 90 rounds were flawless and the accuracy was very satisfactory. Also kudos to KY Guns for their very fast shipping of the Hellion 9/27/2022 ** ** ** ** ** ** Robert Panama City Beach, FL Placed this Hellion on lay-away and paid it off the next month. Extremely fast shipping. Hellion shoots great. Fun to shoot.
