Just figured id throw in my experiences with the hurricane kit.
I have heard of many stories with the rust and strange fitment issues, regarding extremely warped barrels and so on.
On the positive side of things I had great success with my hurricane covert II kit. Went together fairly smooth and a bit of fitting here and there as expected and all around im very impressed.
I actually have to say that the slide play on my hurricane is better than my two nova kits. For a bit of back story, both my nova kits and hurricane kit went onto brand new tm 1911 slide rails, each fit with no filing on the slide rail areas and the nova ones seem to rattle more even with the inclusion of slide spacers and that little slide bar in stock 1911's (TM) that are removed? or added? for use on a 5.1 rail system.
Taking off the material is always easy but adding it has me a bit stumped... id really prefer over sized everything rather than under. I suppose it makes it easier for companies to sell 'drop fit' kits rather than ones that need a little extra work so it appeals to more people.
Any way, here is a bit of eye candy for my Nova v12 kit that is almost built!
Sorry about the less than extraordinary photos
