All the mk3-6 Meteors, Supersports, XL Lightnings and Lightnings I've seen have had the same 15,5mm barrel diameter.
No reason why the carbine should be a different diameter?
Hi Chaps,
Just a quick question, is the barrel on a BSA Super sport the same width as a Meteor? I think this would be 15.5mm? I think that this rifle may well be my favourite BSA at 38" it is very manageable and great fun to shoot.
Thanks

Too many airguns!
Thanks Evert I was just checking. Dusting off a few rifles and started thinking if they are the same size. It appears as though they are indeed the same.
All of the standard barrel widths are 15.5 mm, apart from the S models (Airsporter and Mercury) which are 17mm.
Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
Thanks for that... I am writing that down on a sticky note and putting it in the gun cabinet! I really should get some calipers but now I can't think of when I would ever use them.
You can probably get a pair of plastic jawed digital calipers from Amazon for under £10 - cheap enough for everyday use, and accurate/durable enough.
I have several sets of all metal ones from when Lidl used to do them for £9.99. I wouldn't be without them - once you you get them you'll use them much more than you can imagine.

Your probably right Clogger-I suppose they would be handy for measuring groups as well... just spent a morning trying to find the best pellet for a rifle. I'm taking the wife shopping on Friday so I may have to go past machine mart and see of they have some.
You can get digital steel calipers shipped from Asia directly to your mailbox for under 10Gbp.
Do a search on "that auction site"

Evert I did have some a few years ago but alas they were Chinese and not made to last. I have to be careful calling anything from there though as the wife is Chinese and she is a unicorn! I did drop lucky with something out of China I suppose.
