SteveieP Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) The serial number is likely to be on the underside of the breach block & that will tell you for sure which MK it is though I've no reason to doubt Stuart. You can check with John Knibbs & Co (http://www.airgunspares.com/) if you order spares from them. You'll need to renovate the internals to make it usable, as it's probably 35+ years old & been a bit neglected. Piston seal, buffer-washer, mainspring & a breach seal plus lubricants will be your minimum kit. Probably about £30 quids worth of parts assuming nothing more major is found worn / defective on stripping. Production of the Meteor runs into the millions, so given the estimated 4 million airguns in the UK, everybody who has an airgun must have one of these.LOL Usual caveats apply; if you don't know what you're doing, don't mess with it, a high powered spring is involved.
