Meteor question

[stevegv8]

This may be a silly question but is there a silencer that's available for the Mk 3 BSA Meteors? Mainly to tidy a rough end of the barrel that's been cut but silencing it a little would be a good thing anyway.

I don't think a moderator is really needed, why not try a simple barrel sleeve, or even a muzzle weight. I think Jonny Neate does a nice line in muzzle weights.

I know it won't fix the clanky firing cycle but wouldn't one reduce the muzzle crack a little?

Yes there is, there's a 'Parker Hale' universal moderator available which would noticeably reduce the crack of the muzzle report but bare in mind it'll also add a little weight up front due to their steel construction...

Thanks, that's the info I need, added weight won't hurt as this is about me chopping a spare barrel for the fun of it with a near scrapper.

Piece of advice if you so care to listen, get yerself an engineers V-block off of the 'bay' the end of that barrel needs to be 'perfectly square or it'll shoot well off' also the accuracy is all in the finish of the crown "1200grd wet 'n' dry, a ball bearing and light oils are your friend here" don't over shorten it either, you can always cut a bit more off should you feel the need, once you've cut it off though you can't put it back on...

It's gone off to be done by a pro so not the cut and shut job the thread may suggest but interested in the method (ball bearing) you suggest.

Barrel length or project completion?

Going to try to finish at a 14.5" long barrel which is a 4" chop on a spare one 1st and have the original in case it all goes wrong or I want to put back to normal.
Not in a hurry though as I have a bathroom, a garden and two cars to sort out

Walked into that one ,only two cars?,they're running into two figures here,including a couple of yanks.

Keep up the good work,and get that bathroom done.

i'm pretty certain the old volumetric job off the superten fits.

i may have one lying around here that would need painting but its yours for the cost of postage if you want to give it a try
