The Perfect Break Barrel

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



All the best Mick

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

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.
