BAM B40 .22 Titan Spring Adjustment and Accuracy Assessment

In order to wrestle the BAM/Titan XS combo down to within UK legal limits, it was necessary to collapse another coil. This is not something I have attempted before, but after a friend with a vice, a blow torch and a grinding wheel allowed me free rein in his workshop, I was very proud of the end result.

Straight after heating to cherry red and hammering.

Ground flat on the wheel.

A bit of polishing.

 

 The Titan End

 

 

My end!

 

 

With the recoil now tamed to level that allowed consistency, it was time to take her to the range and see what her favourite food would be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hands down, the winner was JSB Exact 15.9grain printing groups under a 5 pence piece at 35 yards.

 

 

It's all very well punching paper, but could the BAM perform in the field and put meat on my family's table?

Finally, as chance would have it, my hunting partner has just recently purchased...a full length  MK3 Air Arms TX200 in a MK2 Stock!!!
