    Has anyone tried an SLPS kit in one of these at all? Mine is supposed to be here today and I’m going to use what I have in hand first before buying anything new.

      Probably late to the party on saying this, but is it a coincidence these look an awful lot like CCM S5 bodies from eons ago?

        Other way around, s5 bodies look a lot like the old meteor bodies.

        Slab sided? Featureless? Sounds like stock wgp to me

      Mine arrived today after a daring rescue from USPS (shipped to a wrong hub locally and it stalled out in shipping). Looks to have all its parts, but I haven’t opened it up yet to make sure. A local got his in from the original order with his main spring, trigger plate and IVG missing.

      these feel fantastic though! I didn’t see that they came with fittings, but some people were randomly getting them included. Did they just throw extra bits in Willy Nilly for some people in the first round?

        Looks like your trigger plate is missing.

        It’s in the box. I just unwrapped it in the car to fondle it, but there are baggies with grips, screws and the trigger bits under the peanuts.

            I forgot to post this here. I made a post on the Meteor Facebook page about my testing, and Fabrice responded with this:

              Just receive the fittings and trigger plate from Meteor today.

              Something to note is Meteor also included an additional hammer spring which is longer than the spring installed. From what I read on Meteor facebook page this will allow you to get to 285-295 fps with only turning in the IVG one turn (with stock internals).

                I didn’t get an extra hammer spring, but I got an extra baggie of the screws for the grips included. Apparently they were just giving the fittings to people early on as they had a few set lying around so they just tossed them into orders as they went off the workbench, per whomever I was chatting with on Facebook via PMs.

              For those having trouble with leaking down the barrel after you have changed the 009 oring - Use a wrench and Allen key to tighten the cap very snugly - this has solved the lingering leaking for me.

              Just going to out this here so people might find it.

              Interestingly my Meteor bolt has two o-rings, so maybe a change in the fly?

                  I was able to drop 40psi on the reg by removing the center section. I chopped off the front of an LP black chamber and the pump guide. I used the LP front for the frame screw and the guide with the vasa screw.
                  180PSI stock meteor valve, valve spring, hammer and a 2" spring. shooting 315pfs with reball.

                    I don't remember doing anything different other than assembling it. I will double check the pressure. I actually have another members meteor here as well.

                    superman Pre-chop lowest I could push it (reliably) was 250. The 180psi was easy to hit after removing the center. I’ll try one of Gants chambers for sure, looks great. I was able to push one of my trilogies to 130psi with a modified laz valve. I’ll swap it over to the meteor this week and see what happens.

                  Anybody else's ASA leak? Just got around to building mine and it's leaking out the front. Assuming it's the oring between the brass internal piece but I don't have the right screwdriver to pull it out right now.

                    My plug threads seemed really tight on the ASA so switched to a CP right away. Meaning to get it installed.

                    Just got around to getting mine aired up and mine was doing the same thing, dumping air out the threaded cap of the ASA. Took it apart and all seemed fine, but I dropped in a tiny o ring behind the brass locking plug and it seems to have fixed it for now. Doesn’t turn quite as smoothly with air on it though, but at least it doesn’t leak.

                    I asked Meteor and they told m to just sand the brass piece a little and it sealed up perfectly, just needed a couple passes to make it right

                    how hard is that going to be to resolve and where would I find parts? as much as I hate to abandon it, would it be better to get another reg for the time being?

                  Has anyone been able to sweet spot there regulator (seems to be around 325psi with stock parts) and not have this thing fart with the pump handle held forward? I've tried a few different springs and found unless I back the pressure off the sweet spot it farts. I assume it's due to having a really light valve spring. My next consideration is swapping in a lighter hammer or giving into the flatulence.

                    I'm going to experiment with the stock valve this weekend as I still haven't really done that. I'll report back what my farts are like.
