It's even more than this--the outcome of a bullpup design, in total, is actually an excellent general-purpose rifle, where the 5.56mm NATO caliber makes plenty of sense. User-friendly ballistics out to 300 yards, fragmentation in terminal performance out to the same range from the hypersonic...

Note to self to maybe post my MDR on here at some point, could make for good reference material

Dropping a few thoughts now: From the looks of xdman's thread, there seems to be a little confusion about details on facts regarding history, as well as operating+conversion procedure. Here's to hoping that this sort of thing doesn't start causing problems with misuse and avoidable reliability...

Good to know about #5, regarding the manual bolt hold open procedure. While it requires that the magazine be dropped out of the mag well, it's better than nothing!

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/921531873 First one's up on Gunbroker if you feel like getting ripped off for twice or 2.5x MSRP. Little more info from TFB: - Barrel material is 4150 - Their review example shot 2.0 MOA

Tavors are honestly a lot less than $2000, I see them regularly in a lot of places for $1500 or less if lucky Anyways, it's on like Donkey Kong. - 16" hammer forged barrel, 1:7 twist I'm a little skeptical about that bolt release for empty mag reloads. - Two positions on adjustable gas, S...

Whoops, I forgot the way this forum works, I can't edit my posts that were before others' replies. Anyways, I've got some things to say about how things are turning out so far, but I'll reserve them for after SA makes their announcements and provides the model details on their site.

Gonna reserve a second post for additional info and miscellaneous stuff here.

I made a new thread with the proper (ugh) name for the thing: https://www.thearmorylife.com/forum/threads/the-hellion-bullpup-thread-hs-produkt-vhs-k-3.10332/ Product page is here: https://www.springfield-armory.com/hellion-series/hellion-rifles/

Guess I'm making a new thread since I can't edit the OP of my first one. RECOIL Magazine let the cat out early and put in the official tagline of the Springfield Armory Hellion on their giveaway contest earlier this afternoon. Okay, here's what we know or can see before tomorrow: - PMAG...

Rumors looking like the magazine situation will be just fine, should be able to take STANAG AR mags, at least. Grip module's been swapped to allow for AR grips, too.

Thank you for digging up this thread I made so I can post on it again too I hope whatever other compromises that were made to get this rifle (getting announced Friday!) imported and "marketable" to the US audience don't mess things up too much.

I hope you like bullpups.

Okay I do NOT like this marketing name that SA USA has for it https://uspto.report/TM/88235649 A hElLiOn tO gO wItH yOuR hELlCaT

Yeah, another throwback to 2013

I have returned.

Did a little fact-checking on this and it appears that the stock is also Austrian. Easy-to-produce/procure parts are good for making over here, and that would be a good thing for its price. I'm hoping it'll get an MSRP of $1500 USD with street prices between 1200-1400. That would be just...

You...might be a little misguided as to how the gun will be presented back to the American market once it makes it over here. Specifically, almost all the features that the ATF noted here (except for the semi-auto trigger pack) will likely be reversed here in the US by Springfield to bring them...

Pardon the double-post, but a friend of mine happened to stitch up the ATF letter with the VHS-K3 inspection that they did on it to approve it for import. Kind of a weird look into their way of thinking...

Oh yeah, baby. And considering that semi-auto FAMASes are so rare and unobtainably expensive here, I count that as a win.
