Steve_in_Devon Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Brett The one with tape on definitely isn't a Meteor.. If you look at the rounded shape of the breech yoke, it's definitely Hungarian, BSA never shaped them round like this ever, Also, the trigger guard is nothing like any Meteor guard.. The stock on the Relum doesn't look like the Relum Telly stock as they had several lines cut in close together.. the same as this one, there was a Relum Sport (mod 822) which is quite rare here in the UK (I've never seen one!!), It could be the Sport.. The 'rounded' Relum breech yoke.. The whole rifle.. The other is a mk1 Meteor for sure (three lines cut in to the stock), if the cylinder end cover is steel then it's from the first year of production as they changed to plastic after a year ('59/'60) If the Meteor is .22cal then the prefix will be T and was produced from 1959 to 1962, same with the .177 but the serial prefix will be N.. Here was my old Meteor mk1 minus any type of sights :( Good luch with the resto, as said a clump of wire wool soaked in oil will bring the metalwork up much better but if there's no blueing at all then coarse wire wool will be OK, it'll still look better than just rust!! Here's an old mk2 Airsporter that was dead rusty, I used the wool and oil, it looked ten times better after just five mins!! John It is denifinately a Relum, last night I was looking at then and I found 'Made in Hungary' and a serial number. The other one is a BSA Meteor, found that under some of the rust.
