In addition, a two-position adjustable gas regulator in the gas system features a normal and suppressed mode selector.
Firstly, it was adapted to feature a swappable AR-pattern pistol grip.
It comes with a BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 pistol grip standard.
The Springfield Armory Hellion lines continues to grow. These additions bring new colors to the stable: Desert FDE, Gray and OD Green.
Also, the rifle is set up to run with AR-pattern magazines.
Additionally, the forend features M-Lok slots for easily fitting accessories.
Say hello to models in Desert FDE, Gray or OD Green.
The author got early access to all of the new Hellion color models including this Desert FDE version.
In my opinion, Springfield really knocked it out of the park with these.
are all in black.
It makes for a really bold look.
The OD Green model is sure to be popular with many people. With the black accents, it is very pleasing to the eye.
The colors on all three of these models are rich and saturated.
But, I unsurprisingly cozied up to the Desert FDE color.
A bullpup design is where the action and magazine are located behind the trigger.
Springfield Armory chose to keep some parts — such as the pistol grip and controls — black to create visual impact in the new Hellion rifles.

The Hellion sports a slew of modern features, making this rifle well worth the price tag.
One of my favorite features is the built-in, flip-up sights on the top rail.
The new Gray model Springfield Hellion works well with urban and winter camouflages.
These are solid and very usable back-up iron sights.
The barrel on the Hellion is a premium, hammer-forged 16 tube with a1:7 twistand a Melonite finish.
It ischambered in 5.5645 NATO (.223).
Shown together here, the new colors of Hellions are quite appealing. While many shooters appreciate standard black, these new variants give some exciting options.
This allows you, the shooter, to dial in the perfect length of pull to fit your body.
The spring-loaded buttstock allows for five positions of adjustment.
For these reasons the Hellion is one of my top 5 rifles that I love to shoot.
When testing the newer, colorful Hellions, the author found they shot every bit as well as the original guns.
For my range time on the FDE variant, I went with a simpleEOTech EXPS3 Holographic sight.
The simplicity of the reticle and the quick range estimation reticle is just, plain, effective.
This keeps everything tight and easily maneuverable, even in low- or no-light environments.
The Springfield Hellion is a suitable platform for a range of optics like this EOTech set: a holosight and magnifier.
The recoil impulse of the Hellion is straight back rather than feeling as though the muzzle wants to rise.
There are now 16, 18 and 20 versions, along with these three new 16 color variants.
So, you have all the options you could want.
The new Hellions offer every bit of quality, reliability and accuracy as the originals with new color options to help buyers find that perfect match.
Big thanks to Springfield Armory for continuing to provide consumers with options like these.
