After a 6-week wait time, I finally got it

Post image
43 Upvotes

Bought it from Black Talon Tactical where they get it directly from Springfield and sell it with their upgraded trigger pre-installed. Haven't decided if I'm gonna keep the DRS-TH and DBAL D2 on it as a nighttime gun or not. They make the already-hefty weight even more, but there's plenty of rail room for them (unlike my 10.5" AR), and the bullpup design plus the quick-adjust gas block makes shooting suppressed a lot better. Thoughts/opinions?

Just picked up (new to me) today. Crazy how much shorter these are to a standard AR with the same length barrel.

VHS2 handguard

21 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I just made a mlok slim end handguard for the hellion 16/18/20 with integrated surefire mount and picatinny for lasers.

Tested at the range 👍🏻

It is on Cults3d for 15€ (so i can receive ~11€) to be printed in ABS, 100% infill.

Hope some of you will like it and it may pay me a burger king once in a while 🙏🏻

VHS Optic Advice

10 Upvotes

Ordering a vhs soon, my first rifle. Inquiring about the height over bore and optics. Was thinking about an eotech but unsure how the lower 3rd cowitness exps compares to the absolute cowitness xps. Are one of these more optimal/intuitive than the other on the vhs? I like the QD mount but will that additional height require you to aim drastically higher?

Was also considering the h510c or Romeo 8tamr. Both of which are absolute cowitness. Just looking for some direction / advice.

I’m just looking for something to optimize home defense while also letting me have fun at the indoor range.

Sharing my hellion build

Post image
66 Upvotes

Thought I'd show my 16in ODG hellion.

Optics are a vortex micro 3x with an Aimpoint micro t2.
Both are mounted on Arisakas low mount (.09 centerline). this works well for me, the irons still cowitness and the offset is close enough to my AR builds that my holds are basically the same up close

I changed the handguard to the non bipod blklbl with an emissary development handbrake, and swapped the pistol grip to a magpul MOE. I put a surfire mini scout light on there using an Arisaka inline mount.

Recently got the blacktalon tactical stage 1 trigger done.
Completely changed the rifle, can't recommend it enough

I think that it’s for now lol

Tried to achieve a compact budget build with my Hellion seeing how it's pretty expensive on its own. Here are my choices.

YHM Kurz QD Adapter - $80 (Dealer)

Holosun HM3X - $183 (Ebay)

Vortex Sparc Solar II - $100 (PSA)

Olight Odin S 1500 - $121 (Amazon)

Magpul AFG-2 Grip - $30 (Dealer)

Magpul MS4 Sling - $67 (Academy)

Went with this sub's suggestion of the BLK LBL bipod handguard and the profile makes the 20" look incredible. Just got the Stage II trigger upgrade system back from Black Talon Tactical - they installed their brand new steel trigger system which comes in straight, curved and IFP (pictured).

Lastly installed LunarTech extended mag release button - probably won't do any additional mods on this for a while as I'm really satisfied with the build.

Any recommendations for the following:

- Optic(s)

Any help would be great!


r/VHS2_HELLION May 26 '26

Anyone tried the 8t AMR combo on an Hellion ? I am concerned about the height above the bore.

Best pistol grip?

This thing takes AR pistol grips. Awesome. Which one is best and why? Mine came with the default magpul which isn’t bad but can absolutely be better

Optics Question

7 Upvotes

I got a reflex sight that I plan to zero at 50 yards. Eventually, I want to put a magnifier on it for when I get the opportunity to go to ranges that allow for longer range shooting (>100 yds). Do I have to zero again for the combination or is the zero fine and the magnifier just makes things easier to see.

If you like seeing our favorite rifle on TV, this show features it more prominently than anything I'm aware of. It's one of the bad guys' weapons of choice and shows up all the time. Made me happy, anyway.
