Hey, I was scouring the Palmers website, and couldn't find a price for a Nasty Hurricane (Built from a stock and trigger, if you need to know). Anybody know the price off the top of their head? Or, is Craig?

Oh God. My wallet quivers in fear just waiting for this answer...

DUM DUM DUUUUUMMMMMM.

I feel like whoever knows is going to respond with a pinky finger in the corner of their mouth.

If you need to ask, you can't afford it as the old adage goes.

I imagine somewhere around 2k for the work. Its close to 1k for just a single.

It theory it should just be thel cost difference between a Typhoon and a Nasty Typhoon + the stock hurricane. Mounting into the stock and the 4 way valve etc shouldn't cost more

Stock Typhoon: 643
Nasty Typhoon: 990

Difference: 347
+
Hurricane 969
Total: 1361

Makes sense, considering you could buy a Nasty Typhoon and then pay $350 to get it converted to a Hurricane.

But then you add the spring feeds (+$200), blazer detentsx2 ($90), pump kit ($70 for a single, so $100 for a nasty?), & ASA ($40) and you'll be sitting at the same price as my first car

My guns are already worth more then my car. Actually, more then mine and my brother's cars combined. And about a month's worth of gas for both.

Yeah, I was thinking it's be in the $1500 range, but I wasn't sure. I had a custom springfed Nasty Painter priced out a while back that came to that price, so I figured out that my custom bits and the springfeed would come out to about the same price as pneumatics. But, still, I'd like to hear for sure.

If you just want a standard Nasty, you're best bets probably picking up a Nasty Typhoon used and getting it mounted. Will save a lot of time skipping hot work as well.

If you decided to build a springfeed one from scratch, let me know, maybe we can go for a group discount.

Heh, we need to bug Freedom to set up a Hurricane Bulk Order next spring.

I might do that, actually. My roommate plans on getting his KP-3 Hurricaned at some time too and, at the very least, it'd cut down on the shipping a bit.

Good luck with that...

Hurricanes are not very popular with the PPS staff. As Craig always says, "We are a metal shop and whenever you have to convert, even temporarily, a metal shop to a wood shop, it sucks."

Every few years, PPS toys with the idea of discontinuing the Hurricane from their catalog. I am fairly certain that a good sized Hurricane Mass order (setting aside the question of whether they would ever agree to that) would go a long way toward making that a reality.

omg, Craig's gonna start needing beer, NOW!

a nasty is around 1300, you supply stock and trigger, all fancyness extra. I have one that hit around 3k.
