You have most of it right, except the blowback unit. The blowback unit found on the MEU is a bit different from all other Marui 1911/Hi-Capa series blowback units. You will need an MEU blowback unit before you can fit the rear sight from any of these Hurricane kits to the gun.

You will also need to acquire an MEU firing pin retention plate. The Desert Warrior doesn't come with this, and this part in general is rare to find. I've been trying to get my hands on spares for a while, with no luck.

You will also need a barrel bushing, a spring plug, and a recoil spring guide. The Desert Warrior uses a bull barrel system with a full length recoil rod, so all of this needs to be swapped out.

The Tokyo Marui Desert Warrior 4.3 is a 1911... and it isn't. It's a hybrid. The bottom part is a 1911... and the top part is a full out Hi-Capa 4.3.

The Desert Warrior does not come with a barrel bushing. It uses a straight barrel setup. You will need to acquire a barrel bushing, as well as a locking spring plug to interface with it.
