Texan LSS CF Trouble

[PapaT]

I had my Texan LSS CF 457 out for some 50 yard shooting today. While loading the 5th shot, the side lever slipped out of my hand and came back open and then I had this lovely piece of broken rubber from where I do not know... any help would be appreciated. The gun is unmodded so I will be reaching out to AirForce, but I couldn't find where it came from.

I probably shouldn't have, but I took last shot without issue. The gun also refilled/holding pressure without any apparent issue. Thanks for looking, and if/when I get resolution I will share also.

That's a huge piece that fell off the rifle. Cosmetic piece that snaps into the frame? Good luck brother!

Not sure, has jagged side where it broke free but it's rubber and I'm lost because I can't find anywhere it would go.

Sure it is rubber? Might be from the grip, maybe from the power wheel.. Could it be from your case?

Based on feel, I am very certain it is rubber. It is not from the case, but I also can't find any missing spots that match or otherwise at power wheel or the breech area that I assumed it had come from.

That makes two of us, send off email to AirForce today but don't expect any answers until Monday at the earliest.

Fits in the cocking lever. Figure the fit out and then super glue it back in.

Thank you! I am glad I will not have to send it back for repair after all.
