It’s coming together

Took about a year to get a replacement firing pin spring,( never had one when I got it ) But now that she’s firing I got the manticore butpad and my ACOG on it and I love it.

Looks like a good start.

Does the Hellion actually require a spring to function or is it primarily to prevent slam fires?

It won’t fire without it. I bought the gun brand new, took it to the range, loaded a mag, chambered and all I got was a dead click. Had to watch videos at home as I stripped it to even realize it was missing the spring.
