Meteor MK6 Trigger Question

[Gamocfx]

I'm truly shocked to discover the power is lower.... so this would make the MK3 or 4 Meteor a better option for myself. Single piece cocking arm and "higher" power.

I have not looked for one of these models but is there a "Super" version available or did that start with the MK4? I have the MK4 Super Meteor and would love one in .177 but again I haven't actually searched for one.

It does seem like the model was cheapened out of existence but maybe that's the natural order of things?

Mk 3s were available as the super Meteor. I have two. You will have to pay a premium if you want one with it's rear sights intact.

I may start looking for the MK3 or 4 Super Meteor in .177, sights would not be an issue as I always use a scope due to being old and a very mediocre shot. I do seem to have collected a lot of parts for Meteors and have an experiment or two I would like to conduct... Frankenmeteor! GGGR supplied me with a lovely stock years ago which will have to be used.

Thanks for the information Dorn, some of this stuff is very obscure and not easily accessed.

Just remember that the mk3-5 meteor sight mounting grooves are extremely shallow...

That's a good point Evert. I have a Super Meteor MK4 and luckily have not had any problems with it. Maybe because the Meteor is only moderately powered it doesn't seem to throw off scopes like a Webley would.
The BSA Mercury (I have two but can use only open sights) infuriates me with its weird choice of rail size. I do wonder if BSA where being clever and wanted to sell their own scope mounts by choosing the odd size of scope rail? I have never warmed to the Mercury or the Airsporter because of the need for the special mount sizes.

I just use ordinary sportsmatch, usually the low version two piece double clamp available from our sponsor. The clamping part is reversible, never had a problem on an Airsporter or Mercury. Regards Max
