Steyr Challenge question

You don't really need it. I removed mine. It is supposed to prevent a pellet from getting stuck next to the barrel when loading. It has never happened to me.

Miguel, it sounds like you have an air leak. The foam washer should not be subjected to an air blast. Check the oring in the bolt and the transfer port adjustment and oring. Possibly the bbl may need adjusting to the rear if you have had it out. After sorting the air leak double check your mv. Call me if you need to.

Most folks don't use the washer including me. I will tell you that a pellet can fall and get stuck, but only if you are on the timer in an important match. If a pellet gets crushed up under there and stays it will do "funny" things to your accuracy.

If your foam is blowing up when you pull the trigger, I'd say that your barrel is not tight enough against the bolt to make a seal or the o-ring seal in the bolt is gone and the air escaping between the bolt and barrel is blowing out the foam

Where you guys getting these rifles..? they are on my next list..lg110

Yeah, you don't really need it, I've never had an issue with inserting a pellet into the barrel. If It's gone, I wouldn't worry about replacing it. I bought my Challenge Hunting from Krale, great service. And this is a fantastic rifle, not a lot of bells and whistles, but it sure shoots. Not sure why they label it "Hunting", since a single shot without safety is, to me, a target and plinking rifle. But, I have successfully hunted with it, just don't fully close the lever, and it's safe. Since I shoot some in my backyard, I had to add a silencer, it is loud without it. Best trigger of all my air rifles.
