    Mk6 Meteor woes

    I have problems with my newly acquired Mk6 The power is dreadfully low.
    I checked the power and it was only about 6.5 fpe (450fps with superdomes). Ho hum I thought and ordered a kit from Welsh Willy.
    1st stripdown revealing a broken mainspring and fitting Wills kit 450 fps again!
    Put a new breech seal 460 fps
    Second strip down with new piston seal and being very careful not to knick it on the deburred edges.
    Still 450-460 fps.
    Will wonders whether I have a continent spec. version with a small transfer port but I enlarged it VERY slightly with the same round file that I used on my MK4( too close to1/8 in for me to measure a difference) and asked me to check for a hole in the piston head. That must wait until after the Bash but I don't remember seeing one.


    Does anyone have any ideas or actual figures for power on a .22 Mk6, or even general comments on the Gamo Meteors.
    P.s Wills kit has worked wonders again firing cycle wise.

    The more I think I know, the more I realise the less I know.
