Anyone got BSA MEteor pics please? Fancier the better!

I have both a Meteor and a Mercury with "birdseye" maple stocks. The Meteor had factory stain on it when I bought it but I could tell from the grain it wasn't beech so I had the stain removed. The Mercury stock had the stain removed by the previous owner. I am not clever enough to post pics on here. They are very different from pics already posted

I have never seen a BSA rifle in the flesh with a Maple stock... the Mercury with the larger stock would I am sure look stunning.

This one is a Meteor (Mk3 from memory), The gun has long since gone but in it's own stock, I still have this one somewhere, Dunno what it was originally from but it had been slightly modified to fit the meteor!!


Found a better pic of the stock on the right, I think the left one was from the rifle so went back on when I sold it.


A .177" Nickel plated mk1 that doesn't look really good but shoots lovely!!, The scope is a Webley 2-7x20.




A .177" Mk2 that I bought from Chris Hough at Melbourne some years ago, I also bought the mounts from there that take a 1" tube and fit the larger pressed out rails..




I was given this as a freebie from a mate, His wifes friend found it in the wardrobe after her father passed and was clearing out his house, She just wanted it out of the house so he brought it for me, It's in a right state but again, Cocks and shoots lovely!, It has been fired whilst barrel was open and the stock had split in two, There was all sorts of other things wrong too, It must have broken the short cocking links as they were home made from thin mild steel and bent as a nine bob note!, Luckily I had a pair spare!

As Gary (Grayling) would have said, Goldenballs strikes again!

Thats an impressive group of Meteors indeed! The one with the "foreign" stock looked like it had been made for it. Thanks for sharing the pics I have saved them for reference.
