OLD BSA Meteor-need help

[powhitetrash]

Thank you very much.  I remember when my dad brought it home to me but he passed in 04 so I can't ask him.  Also the reason I want to rebuild it.

magnum is offline,  do you know where the table is on the TW Chambers site.  There are two sear models and they are dependent on the year the gun was made.

your number NG is a MK-4 model click on MK-4 and see exploded view:)  http://www.gunspares.co.uk/shopdisplaycategories.asp?id=24305&cat=Meteor , .  Mine is 1970 year model it is quite warn but still shoots..  I remember when my dad took me to buy it , saved up every cent for it about $33 bucks if I recall:) Tony.

you said earlier there was a table at TW that i could find the exact year.   I'm on the site now but my gun looks like the mk-2.   it does not have the rubber butt pad.  They don't have the sear that i need anyway.  Can anyone fab one for me.  I will order the tune kit for the mk-4 and hope to get a new sear.

Hmm ..Your right. Thinking  now it  must have seen it  some where else, it was last year and memory is not as good as it was:( all I can remember is that the serial numbers and the first 2 letters are important for year identification for example... there was like 4 runs of the MK-4  the NB, TB, NG and the TG.

followed the advice and got the misfires to stop.  Took a look at the sear and noticed it was worn down to the nub.  If i bump the stock with a mild blow the gun will still fire.  Is that something that that could be fixed with a tune up?

I would be very careful with the gun for sure. Many of the old guns still around that have been shot alot do have wear and few parts availability.

You might want to check around your area for a machineshop that could make you a new sear if no other options are available. The other problem very well might be that the sear capture slot in the piston may be worn also and will need to be refinished. I certainly wouldn't do one without doing the other.

i would give it anothet 1/2 turn to a full turn on the screw. if you are not out of adjustment it could stop the bump firing. Mine did the same when i got it and an adjustment on the trigger saved it. you don't loose anything when you try...

I frequent CW Chambers often. On some BSA models they sell the complete trigger assy. I have bought them before for some of my customers guns. You can send them an email and they usually will get back to you the next day. They are very good at what they do and sell. Prices are not all that bad and shipping is very quick.

Like Bob said be very careful with at BSA. Any springer can be very dangerouse if the seers wears out. Do not foret to look for the adustment screw. It may just be as simple as adjusting your trigger. Most likely you may have to remove the stock to get to it.
