Just to be clear beforehand..
Can we agree on that ALL PCP´s benefit from a bit of hands on?

I´ve given this rifle flack for its lack of trigger adjustability, and believe i´m in the right doing so. That being said it MIGHT be just my particular rifle, that other Metas DO sport said adjustment grub screw.

Anyways.
Day came to take the entire enchillada apart as far as trigger group n hammer. Hammer looks a tad weird to be honest as it´s slightly conical in shape, for whatever reason.
I found the action on the gun a tad stiff which is why i thought i´d attend to that.
As i got the hammer out it showed it carried "the BSA illness".
Huh?
Yep. Hammer is (or was now) plated and indeed the plating had started to chip n fall off. So tossed the hammer on the lathe and let it taste some 400 grit emery at 2000rpms.. which made for all the difference.
Now hammer action is REAL smooth, as is cocking effort on a hole. Be adviced this using a dual hammer spring setup, and ALSO that this dual setup is NOT to increase hammer spring by "oumph" amounts but more so as duals make for a more linear function in force and thus a more .. shall we call it comfortable setup to work with.

Where i´m at this thing is spitting 34 grain pills downrange around 1050-1060, and this then still on relatively sane reg pressure (150-155 bar approx). That doesn´t say i´ll leave it as is, and what i´m getting at there is that one of the few parts i haven´t had apart on this thing by now but will is the regulator itself.
Uhu.
To polish the contact surfaces on the belleville washers and what not. Does reg pressure jump around? Nope. Not at all, it´s just me that... "seeing is believing". Kind of. I just want to be 100% ontop of what´s given.

That hammer job seems to have done the trick tho. Have to say. There was a tendancy of being a tad "coarse" to the action beforehand, if you know what i´m striving for here, and that´s all gone now.
On that note, the actual loading lever handle i find a tad sharp at the edges why what i did first up was make sure the M4 thread in there was all the way down. Then i shoved an allen stoppie down there and thus i got to adjust that thing so that the actual pin was BARELY able to move/rotate.
Yes. Aware this will i increase wear on the actual loading arm, don´t care. What´s more i believe i´m going to dress that pin using shrink sleeve, to make it way softer to the touch when working the thing.

I´m aware this might sound like i´m coming down on the rifle in case, which i´m by any measure not. My own Impact, Wildcat and what have you have certainly seen their fair share of "small jobs" pulled too, so it´s by FAR Meta specific.
It IS just me being anal.

On a whole though this piece is starting to sink in i believe. I´m really starting coming to terms with it and summary of that is..?

I like it. I really do.
As 90% of my shooting is done from a rest, of some sorts, the weight of it doesn´t really bother ME.. but i could very well see it bother someone else cause it IS heavy being what it is.
So yeah.
I truly feel Reximex should hand the Meta Premium lightning cuts. Thus i´ve also arrived on that the aluminium bottle i´ll replace with a CF one, out of that reason alone.

Power and accuracy wise though it´s all there. No argument and no ills what so ever. it just.. works.
Should the regulator adjustment be redone so it can be adjusted from the outside somewhere down the line? TBH.. dunno about that cause picking the thing apart is rather simple, to readjust reg pressure that is. I guess Rex has their reason to set the reg as they did... and to be candid it at least hasn´t bothered ME all that much. Then again.. own several compressors so..

Nah. The main downfall of the Meta, IMO, is the limited depth mags. All due respect as far as the 12fpe crowd the rest of the world runs a tad different direction.
Is there a solution?
As noted several actually. Gripe, to me, is that this hasn´t been attended to from Reximex. It really should
