BSA Meteor Mk1 trigger

[Easy Bully]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone would have a diagram of the trigger assembly for a MK1 Meteor?
I have one that I tried to put back together a few years ago and gave up after many a frustrating hour but I came across it the other day and thought that I would give it another go, I'm sure it's easy one you know how..

Only the bottom pin has been taken out and the rest of the mechanism seems to be all intact. I have the pin, a trigger and a funny shaped spring which I can't seem to put together.


Thanks in advance for any help offered.

THIS may be of some help.

There is also a couple of photos of the Mk 1 trigger, assembled and in bits, in the book AIR RIFLES AND PISTOL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR by Q. Cobham.

Thanks for that Ian, I do believe that I have managed to put it back together, only problem now is that it will not cock, the piston goes back no problem but does not seem to catch.
I dont think anything is missing and it does not look too worn.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

You may have one of the springs in wrong, so the sear isn't being activated. Will the sear catch if you push the trigger forward whilst the piston is fully back?

Thanks, I have just tried that and it does not catch even with the trigger pushed forward?

Please do not be offended if I ask if you have added washers or fitted a longer spring such that the spring is becoming coil bound when you try to cock it?
