Springfield Hellion 5.56 CA Overview
The Hellion is a bullpup rifle with fully ambidextrous controls and a compact overall length. It uses a roller-delayed blowback action and an adjustable stock, giving you a full-length barrel in a package that handles like a carbine.
Carry and Use
The Hellion’s short overall length makes it easy to maneuver in vehicles and hallways while keeping full rifle velocity. It is well suited to home defense and range use.
Trigger and Controls
Ambidextrous controls, a reversible ejection port, and an adjustable stock let it work for any shooter. The trigger is consistent and the controls are easy to reach.
Sights and Optics
The flat-top receiver or rail accepts the optic of your choice, from a red dot to a magnified riflescope, so you can set it up for the way you shoot.
Caliber
The 5.56 NATO cartridge is light, flat shooting, and easy to control, and the rifle also handles .223 Remington ammunition. It is the standard round for AR-15 rifles, and ammunition is widely available.

Ownership Tips
Read the owner’s manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records, since they make warranty service and any future resale easier. Practice safe handling at home with an unloaded rifle, and store it securely in a quality safe or with a lock when it is not in use.
Care and Cleaning
Cleaning is straightforward. Unload the rifle, field-strip it according to the manual, clean the bore with a brush and patches, wipe carbon from the bolt and chamber, and apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points. Wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
