BSA Meteor Wanted

[Gareth W-B]

Well this worked a month ago in finding me a Mercury "S" in .177 and again a fortnight ago in finding me an Airsporter "S" in .22 (got me two actually ), so thought I'd try again. Am ideally looking for a MkIII BSA Super Meteor .177. The Super Meteors were the ones with the vented recoil pads (standard Meteors at the time had plain wood butts). The MkIII was produced between 1969 and 1973 (or there abouts). The MkIII was also the last of the Meteors to have a tapered stock with a rounded front end before the squarer stocked MkIV came along to replace it in 1974 (the MkIV was also available in a Super Meteor option). As condition is the all important thing for me here however, a good condition MkII, MkIV, or MkV .177 or .22 may also be considered (Standard or Super) if the price is right. But as stated, it is a Super Meteor MkIII .177 I'm most interested in, as that is the one I had as a lad (God isn't nostalgia expensive ). Anybody able to help? ATB: Gareth W-B.

ps. Nostalgia -- as mentioned -- ain't like it used to be ... (GW-B).

Ive got a really good MK 3 (I think.....) a real sleeper, I just put a new breech seal in it and cleaned out the dusty oil........it sat in a cupboard for 30odd years unused - back in the days when you could get an air rifle from your Mum's catalogue!

Cheers Garvin, but it looks like Good Guy Pat.. is going to hang on to his MkIII for a while longer yet (and who can blame him ), so the fat lady is still singin' and I'm still lookin' .

Thanks to Good Guy FallOutBoy and the MkII Meteor combo he has just sold me, I'm no longer looking . Cheers Chaps: Gareth W-B.
