Meteor dreams have come true

That is interesting Evert. Can you give some more info on altering the sears engagement angle please?

Yes, that stock is bloody ugly. But sometimes, ugly is loveable? I am not referring to my gf btw

I freehand stone the trigger sear surface. The way it comes from the factory it is quite rough, and has quite a bit of lift in its geometry. I remove very little, and just change the angle a tiny amount to make the sear engagement a bit more neutral. If you look at a supesport/lightning sear you can actually see that they have a more neutral radius, but in principle the trigger mechanism is the same.

The wire that comes with the later supersport/lightning anti-bear-trap mehcanism is perfect for bending new sear springs

Substituting the trigger for the earlier mk1 unit works well.

I have a mk1. The metalwork is away for blacking at the moment. I have oiled the stock. Needs a new leather piston seal.
What power should this put out.
I was hoping for 8ft/lbs.

And if I remember correctly, the mk1/2 trigger has a better trigger sear angle.

Wow!!

Those stocks are lovely Louis!

I had a strange Mk3 Meteor some years ago, The stock seemed to have been adapted to fit the action by adding a little bit of wood at the trigger aperture, It looked well though, I think it may have been for a Lightning as it has the same slope for the Meteor trigger guard!

When I sold the gun I kept the stock and put on a standard mk3 stock I had spare!, Still not bought an action to fit!!


This pic shows the stock a little better!

Hi John, very nice!
That looks like an adapted Titan or Falcon FN stock?
Not sure, but an airgun tuner called Ed Bishop did a Meteor last year with a converted Falcon FN stock that looked very similar. Apparently it is relatively easy to do the mods for the Meteor action to fit.

Hi Louis

It could be from a Titan or Falcon I suppose, Now you mention it, It does actually look like a the stock on a 19 that I used to have!


I have a Mercury that was modded by Ed Bishop, It's the nicest standard Merc (As in non Challenger or 'S') that i've owned!

It's been changed from a crosspin breech to a bolt and nut for a more definite lock up!



Cheers, John

Good tip, thank you.
I have a spare Mk1 trigger mech, and fitted that this morning before work.
Huge improvement!



And because I know nobody can get enough of my groovy seventies sideplate stock
