Black Talon Tactical Hellion Stage I Trigger Pack Upgrade

The Springfield Hellion ships with a heavy two-stage trigger that breaks somewhere around 7 pounds with substantial post-wall travel and a long reset. Bullpup geometry adds linkage that no drop-in trigger module can shortcut, which is why the Hellion aftermarket has converged on Black Talon Tactical's mail-in service rather than a drop-in trigger replacement.

The Stage I service is the value tier at $265. You disassemble your Hellion, ship Black Talon the trigger pack, and they modify the hammer and sear engagement to lower pull weight to roughly 4 to 4.5 pounds and remove more than 90 percent of the post-wall travel. Total travel including take-up lands around 7mm with a 2.25mm reset, which is dramatically tighter than factory and within range of mid-tier AR-15 triggers. Reviewers report 2.5 to 5.5 lb measured pull weights after Stage I depending on the original pack tolerance.

For the most refined feel, add the Stage II Trigger System Upgrade ($100) which removes the take-up before the wall and brings total travel down to around 4mm with the same 2.25mm reset. Stage I plus Stage II is $365 total and delivers the closest thing to a competition trigger feel possible on a Hellion. Turnaround is 3 to 5 days in-house, plus shipping each way, so plan on roughly 7 to 10 days the rifle is down.
