I look forward to hearing from him that he has gained 2 ft lb overnight using this modded item

I had 2 made but never got round to fitting them


I now only have 2 x MK 1 and 1 x MK 2 meteor left so I was not going to use them.

Well, I'm going to leave the buffer washer out so anything is possible! I'm tweaking the 'tricky' .177 calibre for this Meteor conversion. I'm aiming for 10.5 and pleasant shooting, if I can get 10.8 then I will be crazy with joy. Taking the rolled & wrapped early model Meteors to 12 ft/lbs in .177 is just wrong but Bowkett was pushing the envelope in those days.

BTW I will post the Rowan trigger in the morning, had a problem with the deep fried Mars Bars that got in the way of the post office (St Andrews Night) today.
