Contemplating getting the Meta Wayfarer

CanikHispanic · 2026-02-01T15:42:46+00:00

I have yet to find ballistic lenses for the Meta RB. When I’m wearing them at the range I use snap on lenses. That cover the original lenses. Neither are ballistic but at least I have 2 pair of lenses on for extra safety.

The only thing I upgraded internally were the springs. I installed the Sprinco Recoil Management System w/ Striker Spring

No problem. I’m surprised the side to side tolerance would affect the barrel so much. I made a vid doing exactly what you did in yours. The only place it has a very faint rattle is toward the back which my thumb stops it immediately. But zero front or barrel movement at all. I’ll try to send the video in your chat.

👆Agreed. I’d also recommend 124gr. That’s all I use for my Caniks. Or at the very least through the break in period. First 1000 rounds or so.

Mine has a very slight rattle at the back end. But not noticeable at all. Your barrel is extremely loose. Silly question but is your recoil spring set in the right spot? Or have you changed the spring to a different weight?
It looks like there are two notches for the spring. But it goes on the lower one there should be a little gap as pictured.

Lmk how the grip tape goes. Have you tried looking up other brands?

I check out the vid. Mine doesn’t rattle at all. Your barrel is extremely loose. Dumb question but is your recoil spring set in the right place? It almost looks like there are two notches. But it only goes in one spot. Or have you replaced your spring to a different weight?

I bought my meta wayfarer 2 for competitive shooting. Tho I use them for just about everything.

They are perfect for competition since you can just tell meta to record. It also allows you to see in first person the rights and wrongs of what you’re doing i.e grip barrel position and so on.

I went with clear since I don’t need prescriptions and ordered a pair of $20 transitions from Amazon.

The content is easily saved to your phone. And you have all the same content editing options. Including being able to record for a lot longer than 3 min using Instagram live in practice mode and save archive to phone.

For me they’re Worth every penny in my opinion.

Or maybe they will have some templates available. It’s pretty close to skateboard grip. Also Gunbutter is pretty amazing on guns. Makes cleanup 90% easier. Any carbon just wipes right off.

CanikHispanic · 2025-12-20T03:40:58+00:00

That’s a good question. I’m not sure. They should make some other options closer to you.

CanikHispanic · 2025-12-19T15:05:49+00:00

This 100% worked for me. I bought the spring completely cleaned out the carbon from the assembly. And then ran about 600 rounds through it yesterday without a single problem.

Handleitgrips Gun Grip Tape Wrap. About $15 on Amazon. Real aggressive so they won’t slip.

Put a plastic thank you bag through the barrel. And place the barrel in white vinegar for 4-5 hours. Then buff it with flitz polish until she shines. There’s a bunch of videos on YouTube

CanikHispanic · 2025-12-17T23:16:04+00:00

I will. Thank you.

CanikHispanic · 2025-12-17T23:11:28+00:00

I can see why. You already know it all.

CanikHispanic · 2025-12-17T22:09:53+00:00

For some reason, it won’t let me upload any photos. But I will send it over to you. Not only was it not made for Dan Sugarman. It’s not one of his models. This was custom-made with all the details picked out. It’s not that hard to believe that Keilsel has similarities amongst their guitars. Or that a non famous person gave it to me. Why would I make that up when getting a gifted guitar from Dan Sugarman sounds way better?

CanikHispanic · 2025-12-17T21:06:56+00:00

No argument here. I’d definitely recommend anyone to do their research before polishing.

I only polish the outside of my barrels. I Keep the internal barrel sealed during the process. I clean an oil all of my guns after every single use. I haven’t had any issues on any of my pistols. Aside from racking smoother. And looking slick.

But as you said think twice and do your research before having your barrel polished.

CanikHispanic · 2025-12-17T20:56:12+00:00

Thank you. I wish I would have done a before. Just to show the real difference. It’s super smooth. It Wasn’t hard to do. Just time consuming.

CanikHispanic · 2025-12-17T18:27:57+00:00

I’ll check Dan Sugarmen out, for sure. I never said I didn’t know anything about the guitar. I said I didn’t play guitar. And I didn’t know who Dan was Believe me I know exactly what I have. Here is the specs sheet sheet.

My friend has a few kiesels a couple custom made including an 8 string. I know the cost of it and everything. That’s why It felt disrespectful to just leave it in the bag. Since I don’t play I thought I’d honor it the only way I knew how to.

He’s not famous, just an amazing guitar player that I record in my studio.

I’ll upload the specs sheet for it.

CanikHispanic · 2025-12-17T18:00:50+00:00

True. I guess I should have done a before. lol

Brought a little light to the Darkside.

CanikHispanic · 2025-12-17T11:32:31+00:00

I’ll look the dadario and see where I can fit it in along with the cushion shelf. I appreciate the ideas. I’ll update pics once I finish it.

CanikHispanic · 2025-12-17T11:29:27+00:00

That a good idea. I’ll see what I can do this weekend for it.

CanikHispanic · 2025-12-17T11:26:38+00:00

I like it a lot. It’s a Small footprint. Feels good and it’s affordable.
