Overview

The Springfield Hellion's factory buttpad is flat polymer and sets length of pull at 14.4 inches in the longest position, which is uncomfortable for shorter shooters, armor wearers, or anyone running a high-mounted optic that wants the rifle pulled deeper into the shoulder pocket. The Manticore Arms Hellion Curved Buttpad shortens length of pull by 1 inch and adds a curved profile that locks into the shoulder more positively under recoil.

Construction is an aluminum and polymer assembly with a rubber pad, which gives the part durability the factory polymer pad lacks while keeping the profile purpose-built for hard use. The curved profile is a meaningful improvement on the bullpup, where the heavy receiver weight sits over the shooting hand and a flat buttpad tends to slip during transitions.

Manticore manufactures the part in the USA under part number MA-35600. Installation is drop-in to the factory Hellion stock, which preserves the factory five-position LOP adjustment and cheek riser. Pair with the Stinc Low Profile Stock if you want to eliminate the LOP adjustment entirely and run a fixed minimum-LOP setup.

Key Features

  • Aluminum core with hard polymer overlay
  • 1 inch shorter length of pull vs factory
  • Curved profile locks into the shoulder positively
  • Drop-in replacement, preserves factory LOP adjustment
  • Manticore part MA-35600
  • Made in USA

Pros

  • +Solves the Hellion's biggest factory ergonomic complaint (long LOP)
  • +Aluminum core is dramatically more durable than the factory polymer pad
  • +Curved profile improves shoulder index on bullpup recoil pulses
  • +Drop-in install with no fitting required
  • +Drop-in factory-stock upgrade

Cons

  • $160 is significant for a buttpad
  • 1 inch LOP reduction is fixed; not adjustable like the factory five-position pad
  • Out of stock periodically at OpticsPlanet during demand spikes
