I find the Hurricane kits to be machined quite inconsistently. I had four of the Custom Covert II kits here, all purchased at the same time, and all four of them were inconsistent in the install. While one was mostly a drop-in fit (except for having to remove casting flash), another one had no casting flash but required extensive modification to the inside to clear material out to get the barrel to move. Another one had none of those problems but had to have extensive work done to it to remove material in the blowback unit area. And yet another one had none of the above problems but had severe moulding issues to the entire receiver, requiring a re-working of the entire part.

For what it's worth, I was able to successfully use an ILLusion Kinetics non-tilting barrel in two of these builds, but one of them required material to be removed from the inside of the slide to allow function (the same slide that would not work with the original barrel.) Turns out the chamber was rubbing heavily against the side of the slide.

YMMV
