The Meteor MKIII looked to be in good shape as well. Missing the rear sight though

It actually I ahd it I believe, I may come back for it.

Right now trying to fix the trapmaster (difficult) and just trying to check all the seals and the co2 punchers).

So far this thing was kept in good condition! I unfortunately lost the safety which is needed for the sear to engage and fire the thing, so gonna have to see if i can find it somewhere in my room, or buy a replacement

The MKIIIs are nice. If it has the sight you could flip it. Buffer seal on the piston is probably toast so I wouldn't fire it if your goin to sell.

Nice finds overall. I think Rick at Precision Pellet has all the stuff for the Trapmaster to reseal. Good luck with your haul.

Reduce Reuse Recycle.
Those are among my three favorites. EVERYTHING was built better 20+ years ago, digital electronics the sole exception. My home heating system came from Habitat saved me 6 K over a new system, used system removed due to being undersize, I yr. of use. In many cases I PREFER to get a used item and "rehab" it versus buying new. One 1/4 the cost and my rehabbed product will be of higher quality than a "new" one. My Makita orbital sander 20 bucks and ten for a new pad for it, total 30 bucks. A new one is a hundred bucks plus. Look at the cars they are making today 200 HP 4 cylinder engines, if you think that engine will run for even 100 thousand, I have this bridge.... They designed that engine life to just exceed the manufacturer's warranty.

I am a fan of older equipment. When it comes to outboard motors, 80's and up...I'm not nuts, but as long as it is quality and has electronic ignition salt water damage is about the only disqualifier. The manufacturer's are pulling maximum power from minimum displacement in today's cars. That does not bode well for those of us that keep our cars and trucks for decades. The longevity is designed to only slightly exceed the warranty.
