BSA Meteor Mark1

Hi all,

Posted on here a few days ago about a rifle i got and had no idea what to do with it.

Well, the day after i took it to my local air rifle shop and they told me I needed a new spring.

But as this is my first rifle, and I didn't know much about them, i figured there was no better time to get a crash course.

So, off home i went to take it apart.

Well, as you can imagine, i was nervous about taking the spring out, so only got around to that today.

Here it is..

 

 

Only thing is, the piston and piston head are really grimey.

Is there any specific way to clean them?

or is just a paper towel to take off the excess grease?

 

Cheers, adam.

buy a new set as well as the spring, check the breech seal as well

Hey Adam,

 

You'll find all the replacement parts here

You can probably get the parts a little cheaper (if your prepared to spend a few days ringing around places doing your homework) , but after the service these guy's gave me, I'd happily recomend them to anyone.

 

Work it all out and give them a call

I would replace the piston seal too while you have it out

Thanks all, cheers for the advice.

Have just checked the breech seal, and it broke in my fingers. So i'll need a new one of those

 

This may just may make it clear to everyone how much of a novice i am, but what do you mean by a 'new set'?

 

Also, what is the piston seal?

 

Thanks Phantom! looked at the website and thats excellent, i'll definately be using them!

 

Cheers all, Adam.
