Hi,
After about 2 years of collecting and tinkering with Meteor's, I think I've reached my goals

I don't know why BSA used this fiddleback maple wood for the lowly Meteor? Perhaps because they could buy some maple cheaply?

Paul Short did a great job with the internals. A big thanks to Paul.
I decided to have the springs shortened by him. Less is more in these guns.
Good quality spring guides, top hats and piston liners have resulted in great smoothness.
The one with the scope is doing about 8 ft/lbs, the one with the peep sight about 6.

Inspiration for the Meteors was derived from John Bowkett.
I followed his "Meteor recipe" from the eighties, which was kindly shared with me by him and lightning22 on here.
Thanks Rich!

Any other Meteor lovers/tinkerers on here? (I know there are )

Cheers, Louis
