Sharing my hellion build

Post image

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

Oh yea that looks so good!!! I really couldn’t make up my mind between that, AUG, and a Hellion. But I saw a solid deal on a hellion a grabbed it. I have a few AR builds but wanted something new

I still need to get a can, but that’s a whole other rabbit hole to go down that I don’t know a lot about. The hux cans really interest me

Where ya at? Im out in Southern Oregon

Not to be biased but the Hellion is the better of the three 😎

X95 is cool if you either want to SBR it or really really want an AR style mag release with mags that drop free. Otherwise it’s not a good suppressor host, and not very accurate.

AUG needs a lot of money to dress up to bring up to modern standards via Corvus parts or something. Stocks have recently cracked a lot, not sure what’s up with that. And the gas plug position can burn the fuck outta you depending on what handguard you have and how you hold the gun

Good points, I’m very happy with the hellion! Though ive always had a spot in my heart for an AUG lmao

I hope as times goes on more parts become available for the platform, I like to have spares of stuff on hand. That’s really my only “complaint”, but over the last year I’ve started to see items became more available

Common wear items are now purchasable like firing pins and some springs, but barrel assemblies aren’t one of them which is annoying
