Meteor spool valve closed bolt mechanical

[JeeperCreeper]

It is ugly, but I'm intrigued. Not because of marketing though. I want to feel that backwards spooly, I bet its gonna have a neat sound signature and feel. I already want to cut one up for science...

[iamthelazerviking]

Wonder how easy or not easy it will be to short stroke

[JeeperCreeper]

Yeah Im thinking force feed would be mandatory on this marker

[Nish]

Is it just me or does the body look very long?

[latches109]

the prototype was very similar to emek, definitely not CS1 long.

Looks like a big gap between trigger guard and the foregrip for sure. Maybe because the grip is skinnier than we're used to seeing?

The milling kills it for me. I'd send it off to get all that extra stuff milled off, "pipe" style like those DSRs

Same. Meteor typically has excellent taste in their AC bodies but this is a little too silly for me.

Looks kinda ugly and long

[glaman5266]

Y’all are being down on the milling, but I say you’ve all been conditioned to like plain ol’ toobs.

The milling reminds me of the old Spyder Rodeo. And while I never owned a Rodeo I have a lot of fond memories of learning to play at that time. I think it looks kinda neat, if maybe a tiny bit annoying to clean.

EDIT: So, questions:

-Any word on a price tag?

-Will it be able to accept an anti-rollout finger or will this absolutely require inserts?

[iamthelazerviking]

500ish

[glaman5266]

Thanks guys. My main concern was the inserts. If I absolutely cannot use an overbore 1-piece on it for crap paint then it has no business being in my gearbag.

[iamthelazerviking]

See my latest reply in this thread, a second set of detents further down to stop rollouts so bore size won't matter

Everyone bitches that markers all look the same these days, yet here's one that has personality and it's the end of the world. I don't get it.

I'm curious and really wanting to see what other colors they come in.

[Jonnydread]

WE WANT DIFFERENT

*gets different*

NOT LIKE THAT

[JeeperCreeper]

Not the end of the world, its just not pretty. They can't all be 10's

[SoCal_Pumper]

Happy to see new mechs options. Also saw on Meteor's instagram post that they are also working on an electro frame for this which will be interesting.

Looks like it's gonna be called the Ghost.

The question about rollout prevention has been addressed. Basically the breech is longer and detents placed further down to stop rollouts.

That's a pretty legit name. Much more fun that most modern stuff

That feels weird to call it closed bolt then because the ball is not in the barrel at rest.

I understand the ball is past the feedneck it's just weird

Does this mean the ball is not setting up in the barrel at all, like a traditional closed bolt gun, but just before the barrel?

[iamthelazerviking]

That's what it's sounding like

[JeeperCreeper]

Yeah, sounds like it will be similar to Phantom detents
