Interesting, piston used ? Cassette mounting method ?

I was talking purely hypothetically because I have no idea how to graft one onto the meteor piston and the 70s (probably 50s) trigger surely could be bettered Mind you cutting the head down 2mm and using a quad ring seal goes along way

Actually not a dumb idea. If you have good forks on a meteor, the barrel locks up really well, plus the power level and recoil can be good when set up properly.

Is it possible to use the Mercury S hinge bolt with any relevant machining to tighten the jaws OR has any one considered using Weihrauch barrel shims?

I put the piston and trigger out of a Meteor into an SMK b2 and fitted it into a Meteor stock --- I used Weihrauch barrel shims in that one.

I think you'd just have to countersink either side of the Meteor forks to use the Mercury S breech bolt.

the forks are hollow, so you can't really... needs a "surface" type arrangement..

What happened to the air gun a guy on here was making, not seen any updates lately. Atb mick

What if one just opened the outer tube, and let the bolt head and nut press on the inner plate?

The best method to fit a breech bolt is to drill and tap 10mm through the pivet hole ,make two bushes from a 10mm bolt and glue and screw them in .

for sure, but it's really to thin to take any load.

If I remember correctly, the Meteor tube is 25mm and the Mercury is 28mm, so you'll have to shorten the bolt and maybe tap the thread a bit longer, not really much of a problem, I suppose the other way of doing it with hollow forks would be with the Diana 34 set up with the correct size tube and then the two bolt arrangement, at least it would have a solid area and wouldn't damage the forks if you tightened them up to much.

Maybe no Rekord trigger, but Jon's Meteor with the Weihrauch parachute seal shot beautifully (and made respectable power if I remember correctly?).

When I fitted the piston weight too, it was nudging 12
