Title: BAM B-40 coming back
Post by: 22junkie on February 16, 2022, 12:52:02 PM
I have a B-40 in .177 and maybe some of you wish you had bought one from Flying Dragon.  I didn’t go to the shot show but I had a premonition that something new and different and exciting was going to be in the springer world.  https://youtu.be/OhT-btwZtHc

Is this the same rifle that Crosman was coming out with years ago. B-40 (TX200) clone. A lot of people were looking forward to that before they cancelled the project.
Thank you for posting this.
Bill.

It would have been nice if they at least tried to give it a differentiated look. The TX200 is a pretty rifle but it doesn’t mean they couldn’t have tried a different aesthetic approach with their version. Let’s hope it shoots well.

Cool,
It will be interesting to see how good the trigger functions and it's overall weight :D.

Keep in mind a new HW97 can be had a Krale for $75 more shipped .... HW77K for another $150.

I fail to see why anybody would think the B40 would be returning.  Crosman dropped their MAV 77 project years ago.  I suspect Crosman has the production rights for the B40 because as far as I know none were marketed after the MAV77 project was announced and none since it was dropped.  Could somebody tell me why they think the B40 will be back soon or ever?  By all I've read it was a very good gun while it was still available.
