Springfield Armory Hellion Bullpup 223 Remington/5.56 NATO Semi Auto Rifle - 16" Barrel, 30 Rounds, Synthetic, Bullpup Stock

This firearm so far has been everything I have expected it to be and then some. With close to 1000 rounds shot through it with no issues of failure to feed or double feeding, regardless of the grain of ammo I have used or if its brass or steel casings. Haven't really stretched it out to the 500 mark that it is supposedly able to reach so not really sure about the accuracy out that far. But out to 300 it hold the groups pretty tight on a bench. The flip up sights that are integrated nice cause once zeroed you don't have to worry about bumping and breaking them off as much as you do with the plastic ones. YouTube videos make it out to be a lengthy process to convert it to left hand firing mode, after doing it a couple of times it only takes a couple of minutes to switch it over. Don't have a suppressor for it so I can't review it but the knob to switch it over is pretty easy to turn. It does handle old school steel mags nicely with no issues from them double feeding or failure to feed. The mag release is kinda like a AK release have so far not had any issues dropping mags smoothly. The butt stock extends and collapses pretty smooth. The brass deflector can be misleading as a cheek rest it's not but could be used as one I guess. The break down and cleaning of this firearm is pretty simple with only one takedown pin to get to the piston and BCG. Trigger pull could be a little tighter for it has a lot of distance before firing but the reset is smooth and quick. The weight is a small issue for me as well but being prior military weight is always a issue when it comes to carrying something for a extended period of time. But over all Buds did a awesome job of shipping and transferring this weapon. I give it 5 stars even with the trigger pull and weight. I will be ordering the 18 inch version soon through Buds. I would recommend this firearm to anyone that is looking for a smooth bullpup if anyone has any questions hit me up and I'll try to answer them on here.

I gave the Hellion 3 stars. I took off 2 stars because of the trigger. It might be normal for a bullpup, but I just can't give any gun 5 stars when the trigger had as much creep as it did. I echo other reviewers that the safety is weird and awkward to use. The gun does shoot well and I had to make only minor adjustment on the handrail-mounted scope. Note that when reassembling the gun after cleaning, the carrying handle must go on before the handguard per the manual. I found one YouTube that got this wrong. Also, the flash hider was mounted with a ridiculous amount of torque. I had to buy a Wheeler Universal Barrel Vice Clamp and use a 16" adjustable wrench. I still couldn't remove the flash hider until I heated it for about a minute with a heat gun. There was no threadlocker, only a crush washer. Still, it's fun to own a bullpup and I'd buy it again. As usual, Bud's did a great job with the order and keeping me informed.

Handle great, almost no kick at all. Plenty of rail to mount all your upgrades.

If you’re looking for an alternative to the ar platform this is a great option. This was my first time buying from buds as well. The firearm and the service was great, will be shopping here again.

Is a great rifle!!! It smoth on the trigger and hardly no recoil. I like it very much.

Great Gun and super easy fast process with Buds Gun shop, definitely order from you guys again.

This has been the most 'fun' firearm I've owned. I've put about 1000 rounds through so far with zero issues. Very comfortable to maneuver & shoot, suppressor-ready out of the box, looks badass, etc. It actually does have a decent trigger for a bullpup contrary to what others say. I had my gunsmith shorten the trigger reset which made the world of a difference, though. Highly recommend either way. Hands down the best pup on the market relative to price, quality, and immediate value out of the box. And as always, quick and easy transaction from Buds!

This is my second firearm purchased from Buds and both were flawless. The Hellion is well-built and the weight is perfect for me. I spent 23 years in the Army and have carried and shot many different weapon systems and this Hellion is up there with the best for me. I have read complaints about the trigger, the safety, and the fact the bolt doesn’t lock back except with an empty magazine. For this old soldier, I would have loved to have carried this during multiple deployments.
