Hurricane Valve? / RT Claasic Body on?

[Walking Stick]

I cannot recall from all my years of paintballing of ever hearing of a "Hurricane Labs stainless steel valve". Can some of you guys give me info on it? Good, bad, details, entire valve assembly or just rear valve, etc.

Also, can a Classic RT body be put on a standard AM/MM/ULE rail? Will all other parts just drop in as well?

Thanks gents!

If memory serves, the Hurricane Labs product was a reg body made of Aluminum. It would be lighter than stainless. That is about the only benefit.

A classic RT body should fit on an AM/MM/ULE rail. The valve, however, will not work unless you have some custom work done to the rail due to the gas-through rail that the Classic RT uses.

Hurricane also made some titanium valve halves (had one, and did every test from density to pmi, so yes it was titanium:P), never seen a steel one but who knows.
These valves really only serve to reduce weight, no other known benifits

And as mentioned, the RT valve will need a custom sleeve and possibly other work to get it to work on a non RT Classic rail

The body will fit if you cut the back off so that it is the same length as a standard body. I can't remember if the pim is in the same place though.

The rest of the parts will not fit.

Mine has 6 holes as opposed to the standard 1.
