Hi Baz,

The Jon Budd tuned 240 I bought at the last Kempton was modified as you suggest and is the most accurate 240 I have owned (I've owned 3 in the past including a gold plated special edition).

I finally found a 240 I like. To be fair, with my passion for BSA I have always wanted to like the pistol but found it inaccurate and uncomfortable to shoot. John's modified grips have cured the latter issue too.
