I thought the Diana 240 was made in Germany.
Does it have an adjustment screw?

I think the Diana two forty (spelled in letters, not numbers) is the Chinese Xisico xs b12 with a direct sear trigger.If you look up xs b12 trigger mod you should find what you need. (Very high grit sandpaper polish on the contact surfaces of the sear hook and piston catch. Be careful not to change the angle of the metal. Then apply a thin coat of molybdenum You can go further with a weaker return spring and shortening the sear hook with a file, but it gets more likely to misfire.)Mike Melick of Flying Dragon Air Rifles is a wiz with those triggers.Once the trigger was settled on my b12 it became a really fun, accurate shooter.I hope this helps.The German made Diana 240 (spelled in numbers) has the to5 trigger. Mine had a bent cocking arm and the worst burrs I've seen on the spring ends. But it polished up and is also a joy to shoot.

It would help to see a photo of your trigger group. Direct sear triggers are difficult to improve and can easily be made unsafe. I have a recent Diana 250 which is basically a B19 with some newer & slightly-better-machined internals. My trigger was unacceptable out of the box but it became a "nice" trigger with minimal effort. If your trigger group is similar to the B19 I can offer some tips. I cannot offer any constructive tips if you have a direct sear trigger.
This thread illustrates why it's important to use the actual model names. The Chinese Dianas are Two-Forty, Two-Fifty etc., while the German Dianas are named by numbers. Unless this distinction is heeded, there's bound to be mixups between entirely different rifle models.
