    BSA 240 Magnum

    In the many years I have been shooting, never fixed a 240. Bought one when they came out, but did not keep it long. Yesterday had fix one that would not cock, was a bit concerned about stripping it, but turned out not difficult. Put it together and was amazed it is putting out 4.9 ft.lb. from that short barrel. Took a pic of it in parts as there only seems to be one other on the net.

    They are powerful.

    I had one in .177 ...I hit what I aimed at once every five shots.

    Not easy to shoot well.

    I was always worried that the piston to frame-top spars would snap.
    And the grip was unergonomic to the extreme.

    I totally agree. It sure is a nicely made pistol though.
