BSA Meteor MK5 Refurb


Recommended Posts

This was kindly donated to be by a guy off Facebook who didnt have the time/spare cash to refurb it so I thought I'd have a go at one of these since the Relum turned out ok......

Initial stripdown reveald a bust breech seal, piston washer & seal had disintegrated, sear spring snapped and the mainspring was well worn, the rest of the components were in pretty good nick and just need degreasing and polishing.....

 

Photos so far....

 

The way it arrived after initial stripdown

Hi Darryl.

 

Looks like the old girl has had a rough life, bloody shame :yes:

In the picture showing the end of the barrel, with all that fur on the end, looks like hes poked it up the arse of a cat, or dog...could be a rabbit, cos he wouldnt have hit begger all with it in that state :laugh:

 

Hope the referb goes well, and look forward to see the progress, and finnished job :thumbs:

 

 

ATB.
