[edy123 0]

Hi I've just bought a new meteor mk6 from a friend I have noticed it isnt very powerful, it also needs a new breech seal could this b effecting the power? Other than that the gun is in exellent condition. Also wat type of spring can anyone recommend 4 this rifle?

How old is the gun? The breach seal could well be the problem, change that first before you changet the spring

Couldn't tell you the age [bANNED TEXT] as I got it from a friend I will have to ask him. I identify it through the internet its the one with the safety directly in front of the trigger

hi for this bsa change the seal and put a normal bsa spring in it but give everything a degrease and then relube use the correct oil's and grease and not too much...you can expect low 10 ft from this if you are lucky but you should find it able to hit a target..if you drop an ox in it you will find it will eat scopes and not be a nice gun to shoot.then again this is just my thoughts on the meteor..oops forgot breech seal as well as piston seal do both as well as a bsa spring...remember if it's an older bsa chances are barrel is 5.56mm so wasp's or pellets over 5.5mm norm will help with power and grouping

On the spring there is a metal block with a chamfered slot in the middle, this slot is where the locking mechanism drops in to, from what I remember on my old Meteor, this black fits inbetween the spring coils, and can also be wound forwards or back wards, So, you may have inadvertently moved a touch, I thinks its not possible for you to have the locking block 180 degrees out as it needs to sit in the long slot on the bottom of the spring housing, hope this helps.

Another thought - if there is any grease on that locking block - get it off as this will stop the catch working, or as you say, go off on its own!

Hi no mate nothing just put everything what was there back in. There is a square hole in the piston that there thing in the trigger goes into to keep the gun cocked? Well its just not holding
