Meteor pump!

[zinger565]

Ordered mine. I've got a short body sidewinder on the way that will be perfect for this. Honestly I think the Nova barrel kit I have will also look pretty good on this, if not my old empire or lurker kit.

Cdn_Cuda I was not able to pay with paypal, didn't even see an option.

As of 5am Central US Time this morning (Friday, July 19th) there was 11 in stock, well, now 10.

[Cdn_Cuda]

I think most of these are going to MCB members. They look great! PayPal sign has been removed. It was an error that they will deal with in due course.

[bouford]

I know of at least 5 coming to Hawaii and I too tried to pay with pp as well but there was additional fees for meteor so option was removed.

[Cdn_Cuda]

I contacted them on Facebook and made arrangements to pay PayPal. I covered the extra fees. Worth it to not have to deal with currency exchange.

Got an email this morning saying this one is packaged and shipping out today. Being close to Florida I would imagine I could have this thing in by Monday

[Shan1Fat]

I'd be the worst person to give an in-depth review. Only other pump I've ever owned was a Stingray back in grade school lol

[Myrkul]

@Shan1Fat

It's not optional. As soon as it gets in you need to completely take it apart, individually photograph every piece, even the screws, them completely reassemble it taking a new photo each time a piece is reattached. Upload all photos here with a shooting video.

We are counting on you.

[Shan1Fat]

Looks like I better get some air this weekend

[pirhana92]

Since CCM isn't making pumps anymore this is very tempting. I was going to build a pump this winter but I may just get one of these instead.

[bouford]

do it! only 4 left!

[zinger565]

Expected delivery for Monday!

[Cdn_Cuda]

I ended up pulling the trigger on one. First new marker I’ve bought it almost 2 decades.

[jetenginekyle]

been out of stock for a couple hours now.... glad I was able to snag one in time.

[zinger565]

I'm sure there will be more coming next week.

[zinger565]

Hehehehehehehehe...

[zinger565]

Breakdown video as soon as I have time for it. Shooting video this weekend for sure. Laz video later.

[iamthelazerviking]

In case you run into problems with the trigger or are missing trigger plate. Kind of odd they'd mention this after assembly and shipping.

[Myrkul]

I feel like this should have been fixed before they started selling these....

[redsquirrel]

Following the day 1 patch strategy of modern game developers.

[Chuck E Ducky]

I’m really impressed with what you get for $419 build quality looks great. It feels really nice. Panels are like a plastic. It’s feels light weight handle feels great no twist and smooth. I haven’t seen a pump in this price bracket come close to the quality this thing is machined to. I’m impressed. I will give my final thoughts when I get it put together and tuned. Initial opinion well done Meteor!

Think S5 w/ a real nice 45 slider on a diet. These will be a big hit in the pump community for sure. I wonder if we can talk them into making some stick feeds for them.

[dozernaut]

Mine is missing the trigger plate and the plug for the on/off. Did anyone else get a plug? It did come with 2 macro line fittings, which was an unexpected bonus.
The quality look great out of the box. Testing to come after they ship the missing pieces.

[Chuck E Ducky]

I didn’t get any fittings I don’t think. Are they just standard fittings? I think I have a set off CCM ones in my toolbox anyway I’m just curious.

[dozernaut]

1 straight fitting and 1 90*

[dozernaut]

For those that didn't get the trigger plate, I was able to 3d print one and it works.
I used the Post 98 file from ZDSPB.com https://www.zdspb.com/tech/misc/cadf...utococker.html

[Chuck E Ducky]

What type of plate dose it take?

[dozernaut]

Post-98 slide trigger plate

[Chuck E Ducky]

Oh sorry I missed that lol

[Cdn_Cuda]

Does this use a standard 2k banjo bolt threading in the pump kit? I assume it does as they are selling the pump kits separately. Definitely looks great! Very excited to get mine in a week or two or whenever it arrives. I’m going to start collecting parts.

Chuck E Ducky, are you going to be doing a full disassembly so we can see the valve?

[Chuck E Ducky]

I can if you would like,

[iamthelazerviking]

I wish they'd update that, Fabrice has mentioned that the pump kit will only work on Meteor markers

[Cdn_Cuda]

Chuck E Ducky - I can wait. I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of these as they arrive in people’s hands.

Looks like it doubles as the red chamber on the regular Meteor guns so no will only work with Meteor bodies

[Cdn_Cuda]

But could you run a standard 2k pump kit on it if you didn’t like that kit? I would assume not.

[fullofpaint]

Unless they've changed something on the body from past versions, sorta yes. You would need the red chamber from Meteor or since that is sold out, the gold version from Attktx: https://www.attktx.com/products/gold-chamber

The red one from Meteor is pre-2k threaded but you can get a 2k version from Attktx

[Cdn_Cuda]

fullofpaint Thank you! I saw those on the attktx website but didn't know what they were. Not familiar with Meteor internals at all. Kind of a neat system that allows you to change the front threads. Pricy though!

[zinger565]

I got a sear but no trigger plate. Will wait for the plate before doing any sort of review.

[Jonnydread]

Still better than Metadyne

[KMDPB]

Mine came with everything

[Myrkul]

A 2' long stick of 3/4" CPVC and a functional respiratory system are better then Metadyne....

[Shan1Fat]

Mine also came with everything. Forgot to check the serial number to see if that has anything to do with it. Will check it out later and report back. What serial number do you have KMDPB ?

[KMDPB]

I don't see any serial number unless it's under the frame?

[KMDPB]

Meteor stick feed V1

[jetenginekyle]

that was fast

[KMDPB]

Feeds and fits good, probably gonna slim it down a bit and make it outta carbon fiber

[jetenginekyle]

If you make a batch out of carbon itll probably sell out faster then the marker did
