Hi All, I have a 1979 BSA Meteor breach loader, was in a state when I got it, so I stripped it down,removed the broken spring, degreased it completely with brake cleaner, drilled the transfer port to 1/8th", then counter sunk it with a rose drill bit then polished it till it shone! Polished the entire cylinder and piston
lubricated the assembly with dry PTFE lubricant, fitted a Titan XS mainspring and reassembled the rifle! Somewhat of a difference! I would not want to be on the business end of it! Had some lovely rifles in my time, the best I think was a BSA Airsporter underleaver, lovely rifle.
