Bsa buffer washer cheese period?

[gunshop]

It's common to remove the buffer washer on a Mercury/airsporter but then you have to drill a new hole for the retaining pin and probably shorten the spigot. I cannot see how you can remove the buffer washer on a key way head on the Meteor without making so much play that it rattles about on the piston.
Some aftermarket heads are fixed with a nut where you probably, can remove the washer, with the benefits above.

We make a version that takes the original O-ring and buffer washer on a nut for the Meteors

Stripped the Mercury, there was resinous buffer cheese lacquering the compression chamber and it would not come off until I hit it with the Solvol Autosol and an electric drill.

The spring seemed very straight, there is a ridiculous about of pre-load on these guns and it was a total bastard to get the spring back in, even with the assistance of a spring compressor.

As a result of this I do not like this gun. The cocking effort is quite high, I am not sure if the spring is a Titan or something OTT but I will take it for accuracy testing tomorrow and run in the Meteor 'O' - ring.

While it comes up to the aim brilliantly, and looks like a swoopy beauty, I just keep thinking the HW35 is the better choice of the era.

The last Titan I fitted to to an airsporter had to be cut to 260 mm and is easy to fit. It ought to be the same for a Mercury. After a lifetime of using my Airsporter the 1st time I shouldered a Mercury, it fitted like a glove, better than my 35.
Make room for both in your life.
