Springfield Hellion (VHS-2) Bullpup Rifle

[Phazer]

If I lived in The United States, I would like to purchase one of these. It looks like a lot of fun to train with. And, I think that the bullpup form factor is good for home defense.

Ahhhh....some day....I hope to leave New York and move to The United States. I hear it's nice there.

I hate the damned laws in this state. Difficult to make a move right now, but that day is coming... This looks like a nice shooter.

You can have one in NY. No different than a styer aug bull pup. Either do a fixed magazine or remove the pistol grip and install an AR spur grip and do away with muzzle device.

I may have to see if my dealer has these in stock....

This looks rather interesting to me.

 

[spat]

I've always liked bullpups.

This may need further investigation....

I just sent an email to SA for direct pricing. I wait with great anticipation for their response.

From what I’ve heard pricing looks to be close to $2k

Springfield does a decent LE and First responder discount.

I cannot remember what is is, I do remember when I was selling guns, they gave gun selling employees, 22% off dealers price.

When the XDS first came out, they were being sold at $599, I picked mine up, direct from SA, for $335.

Always looking for deals.

I saw the MSRP is $1999.

Idk if Springfield will still do such programs. Seeing as how they moved from being mainly a gun manufacturer to just an importer for HS Produkts out of Croatia.

It is still on the website, this gun has not been added yet.
I sent the email, we'll see the program will include this firearm. If not, I think I may still get one.

They've almost ALWAYS been an import company ever since they opened their doors

No they used to produce a fair number of rifles and pistols. You used to be able to find a fair number of M1A’s, 1911’s, EMP’s and 911’s for sale. Now all you can find are a few XD’s and a bunch of hellcats

Most of those 1911s were imported from Brazil

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The more you know

Partially correct, these guns, the imports are much easier to find than many others.

I got a reply back from them.

21% off of MSRP. The pricing for this gun will be announced March first. He thinks it will be the same discount.

$400 off is freaken awesome.

Lucky for you! Enjoy.

Some of us will never get to touch one of these as long as we live in the not-so-great State of New York.

The place that I buy these kinds of guns will sell to anyone that has a badge" Police, Fire and EMT.


Can these types of firearms be made to be NY Compliant?

Yes they can. People have both fixed magazine and featureless styer Aug’s and tavors in NY. I don’t see why this would be different

If it matters , I purchased an AUG that HAD the the stupid kydex thingymajigger behind the pistol grip a while back. I love it, one of my favorites. Big Die Hard fan!!!

I almost posted about this gun before but I figured folk wouldn't wanna discuss a non-compliant rifle. That said-
I like the modernized FAMAS vibe it has, I like the G36 style charging handle, I like that the ejection pattern allows shooting from the weak side, I can overlook it's $1,900 price tag. There are two things I can't overlook however:

It weighs 8lbs!

And of course-

FUCK SPRINGFIELD ARMORY!!

I'd add to this that the gun is actually battle proven and has been used by (albeit a small) a fighting military in the middle east.. but it has proven itself over the years (the V1 was first introduced in 2005 and that means the v2 is a culmination of 17 years of development)

I wouldn't say it is battle tested per se, have the Croats done any fighting with the VHS-1/2? I could be wrong.........
But yes, the VHS series has undergone a fair bit of iterative design and improvement which is always good.
It is also being imported by a duplicitous and self serving company which is never good.

As for the fuck SAI sentiment. Trust me I don't think you need to convince me, I've been saying fuck them since even before the gun control support
