    Airsporter 'S' cylinder diameter

    Would I be right in thinking that the cylinder is the same diameter between the 'S' models and the less fancy versions? I have a vague memory of 27mm?

    I've got a Mk6 'S' and a couple of ideas.

    Hi Rich

    Internal diameter of Airsporters and Mercury cylinders (including S) is 1 1/8" (28.575mm)

    Piston O ring 1 1/8" OD X 1/8" 70 shore nitrile.

    Hope this helps


    All the best Mick

    No Problem Rich

    I forgot to say, all the internal parts from the Airsporter MK4 onwards and
    all Mercuries except for maxgrip scoperail guns are interchangeable.

    In other words a MK1 Mercury piston will fit an Airsporter S etc.


    Hope this helps


    All the best Mick

    Cheers Mick,

    Whilst I've got such a font of knowledge on tap, do you know the cylinder diameter for the Meteor?

    If the Mercury 'S' and Airsporter 'S' cylinders were the same diameter, and presumably the same stroke as the ordinary Mercuries and Airsporters, where did the extra power come from? The mainsprings are the same aren't they? Yet the ordinary Airsporter would only do about 9.5 ft/lbs in .22, while the 'S' will do 11.5 and more ... What was the difference?

    Hi Rich

    Cylinder internal diameter for Meteors is 1" (25.4mm) and the cylinder is capable of an 82 mm stroke.


    All the best Mick
