They were only made from 1960 to 1970.

Cracking job there mate. You might just have inspired me to have a go at restoration myself. I have an old meteor from the eighties. I shot hundreds of game with it. I had it tuned by john bowkett to 11.5 ftlb. Unfortunately it is now in bits in a cupboard. Hopefully have time to give it a go.

Im just doing the stock and internals as im not to confident in try to re blue it.

That's not a bad string.

 

Dodgy reading or naff pellet perhaps but I would be pleased.
