Where did this rubber ring come from on bolt of Benjamin Marauder.177. Pl. see the image attached. Is this O ring or any other seal ?

Looks like it's the o-ring that goes inside the barrel

It came out of the groove in the barrel leade. Look just inside the barrel and you will see a groove it goes in. Needs to be there. It’s What seals the air release around the bolt when the gun is fired.

If you need help putting it back in, PM me and I’ll share a real easy way to reinstall it.

I believe that is your breech O ring, I did the same on my .25 Check the o ring for damage, if no damage I used a long wooden dowel with a blunt tool and i reset it in the groove. A 1/8" dowel is approx .125" and should easily pass thru baffles and barrel. You'll find a replacement o ring at most Tru Value Hardware stores

THIS FORUM is for LEARNING and SHARING KNOWLEDGE so everybody reads and learns. That is unless that PM is KINKY STUFF like what LUBE you recommend. I can only imagine.

I PM only when I don't want to publicly say to pound it with a rubber mallet as though you are murdering while filling it to unstuck that valve.

Assuming you never lubed your pellets I would leave that o-ring on the probe slide it close to the end tip almost flush lightly wrap masking tape around that probe behind that o-ring be sure it can slide back with minimal force but need at least some force so not at all tightly wrapped and use a little shoe goo on that o-ring and SLOWLY! close that bolt wait half a day and try shoot it first. The residual shoe goo will go away with just shooting the gun.

Thank you so much everyone for the support provided by you all. I placed the ‘O’ ring in it’s home.
