Hi, I was wondering if anyone would have a diagram of the trigger assembly for a MK1 Meteor?
I have one that I tried to put back together a few years ago and gave up after many a frustrating hour but I came across it the other day and thought that I would give it another go, I'm sure it's easy one you know how..
Only the bottom pin has been taken out and the rest of the mechanism seems to be all intact. I have the pin, a trigger and a funny shaped spring which I can't seem to put together.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Thanks for that Ian, I do believe that I have managed to put it back together, only problem now is that it will not cock, the piston goes back no problem but does not seem to catch.
I dont think anything is missing and it does not look too worn.
Any ideas what could be wrong?

Please do not be offended if I ask if you have added washers or fitted a longer spring such that the spring is becoming coil bound when you try to cock it?
Cheers, Phil
Is it possible that you have the trigger spring the wrong way around, with long side on top of the sear and the shorter side underneath?...if so, I think that would cause your problem...flip it around 180 degrees and put it back in

It's ages since I last took a Meteor trigger apart, but I've edited the chambers diagram to better show the spring, have a look here, I think that's right?...
blah blah
Fantastic, thanks.
Yep that spring is deffinatly in the right way round, it's the kind of "s" shaped one that I am not sure about, it feels like it's in the right place but on closer inspection I dont think it can be as the trigger adjuster screw would be doing nothing.

This is an enlarged section from an original Mk.1 parts diagram.
Hope it helps: Meteor Trigger
If you click the cross within a circle icon that should appear, it will enlarge even more.
oops, sorry, I meant the sear spring in last post but it matters not if it's in there right
I think the trigger spring...the hooky bit goes over the back of the trigger, the loop goes in line with the trigger pivot hole, held by the pin, and the other end slips under the trigger stop pin?...like I said it's been ages
blah blah
