I bought a new BSA meteor in 1963, replacement for the Daisy pressed steel rifle my dad bought for me a few years previous.
The Daisy had a brass insert barrel in a pressed steel casing with end caps.
That little rifle killed many birds, I used to keep a note book of all my kills back then.
I still have the BSA, but made a pistol, of sorts, out of the Daisy. It would reside in the old Masterton tip these days. That’s the tip with the pig sty’s next to the road in, that had that annoying hump, that bounced the shit off the trailer!
The BSA has little filling left in the start of the barrel, caused by the habit of carrying a mouth full of pellet when out hunting!
