The almost everything Hurricane!

faro · 03-17-2008, 06:13 PM

Yo all!

Well I finally did it... after a year of searching I found a close to mint Sheridan/crossman stock and a old school metal trigger set. I am finally building my hurricane.

So these are the specs
Stock gun + (stock is like a cherry wood)
Pump kit
Stabilizer kit
Rock Knob
Spring/centre feed change option
Flush barrel to pump rod and stick feed (when installed)
Matte Nickel finish
(deciding on the name) Boom stick as the laser etch in the stock

This gun was expensive and basically a loss of an arm.. but hell I usually have a girl so I dont use my hands... but incase I am suddenly single you only need one...

Peace all... pics to coming this summer

P.S. Thanks to all who have made this site possible, Its great!

Hey FAro: Look forward to seeing it. Be ready for a long wait... although PPS always delivers of course, lately they have been swamped (I guess) because reported build-times have been long... Knowing that up-front may help avoid grief.

Welcome to MCB (If no one has said that yet?)

Pics this summer? Maybe next summer, I've been hearing that you're looking at ~10-12 month build times on those canes...

Good luck!

OUCH....

Sounds like an interesting build !!! Looking forward to seeing it complete

Have you considered asking for threaded ball detents versus the wire detents that PPS will install? They can mean a cleaner looking gun.

If this gun going to be "convertible"

Sounds great.

Aka yes it is a convertible...
On the Build time they told me 3-4 months...
Please explain the detent again the difference between the 2?
I am actually trying to get a rifle holster to fit with the 13 round spring feed
configuration, (not a 10 round because of the flush option)
and strap on a pug to my waste to scare the childrens!

It’s kind of unbelievable that I spent about 2Gs for the gun + the parts and all the shipping... but hell you only live once and I better get these things before I settle down.

Also thank you for welcoming me… no one has yet. I love this site… it is the part of the reason I got my Cane. My buddy is on here and found my metal trigger set. We live in Vancouver Canada and he was going down to Cali and found some guy that was selling it. Bing Bang popcorn… he arrives to his family there and my trigger had arrived. About a month or so later I found an almost mint stock on eBay and then voila! My baby is being built. Thank god I am rock climbing again because I will need fore-arms for this bad boy on pump… And like I said I have GF so they are not well used lately hehe. Maybe dump her to practice, lol thank god she doesnt read... cause I would be practicing if she did...

P.S. have a great long weekend all!

Detent difference. One is a cocker detent, the other is a goofy little airsoft bead with a wire clip that flies off when you are in the middle of wanting it not to fly off.

Schmitti · 03-20-2008, 03:54 PM

No.. that only happens to you Azzy.

I was having mega-trouble with that on my double Phoon. Lori said a quick fix is to epoxy the end of the wire to the gun, problem solved.

Some more info... from looking at pics it seems for the cocker detentes that they layer some additional tube material on the barrel tube to get enough meat to thread.
