Description
Air rifle carbine pneumatic AEA Challenger Pro GEN 3 cal. 6.35mm muzzle energy <17J
AEA Challenger Pro GEN 3 is a novelty that has gained great fame on the American market.
Incredible accuracy, power, compactness and a good price make the carbine ideal for anyone who wants to shoot at long distances or begin their adventure with shooting.
Challenger Pro GEN 3 is equipped with a pressure regulator, which we can set externally with an Allen key, and a mechanism for external adjustment of the hammer spring tension which will allow even more individual adaptation of the airgun to the shooter's needs.
AEA airguns are famous for their high build quality, its individual parts are made on CNC machine tools.
All parts fit together very well, the airgun is very compact and light.
Its total length is only 93cm, and with the stock folded it is barely under 60cm which means we can put the airgun in a backpack.
The airgun's weight is about 3.5 kg so we can shoot offhand or from a rest without any problem.
The telescopic stock folds to the side, it is made of aluminium.
We can extend and retract the stock, and raise and lower the cheek piece, so we can fit it perfectly to our height so that it is as comfortable as possible to fire shots.
The Challenger Pro airgun is equipped with a 22 mm standard Weaver rail, on which we can mount a scope or a collimator, which will enable quick, accurate shots.
In addition, the lower rail allows mounting a bipod, which will make shooting from a sitting or prone position more pleasant.
The carbine is equipped with a large bottle with a capacity of 330cc and a maximum working pressure of 310 Bar and two pressure gauges, and it also has a factory externally controlled regulator with a 150cc POWER PLENUM, which means all shots are repeatable and have the same muzzle velocity.
The two gaugesinstalled on the cartridge show the pressure in the cartridge and at the regulator.
The first gauge (underneath the cartridge) shows the pressure on the cartridge (maximum pressure 310 bar).
The second gauge (next to the cartridge) is responsible for the pressure readings on the regulator and is set from 80 to 170 bar.
As the pressure on the regulator increases the muzzle velocity and energy of the airgun increase.
The externally controlled pressure regulator lets us change the pressure without needing to unscrew the carbine or release the pressure from the cartridge.
The Allen screw located under the cartridge, with the gauge above it, is the screw that allows the pressure on the regulator to be changed.
- Increasing the pressure on the regulator is done by slowly turning the screw from left to right; we will see the pressure rising on the regulator gauge and a quiet hiss.
- Reducing the pressure on the regulator is done by slowly turning the screw from right to left. Remember that you will not see the gauge reading immediately! After lowering the pressure, fire a few shots “dry” (without pellets) so that our regulator settles (and the O-rings inside the regulator). After a few shots we will see a lowered value on the gauge; if it is insufficient, the procedure should be repeated.
It is very important that when lowering and increasing the pressure on the regulator you do it slowly, without turning the screw too aggressively.
Number of shots per tank:
- 5.5mm (.22) – 50+ shots
- 6.35mm (.25) – 45 shots
- 7.62mm (.30) – 35 shots
- 9mm (.35) – 25 shots
AEA Challenger Pro Generation 3 has been modified with the possibility of external adjustment of the hammer spring tension.
The adjustment is located in the stock base, which gives us easy access and adjustment with a screw, where the directions of increasing and reducing tension are marked with a plus and a minus respectively.
To increase control over the adjustment even further, an external adjustment indicator has been milled into the body, which lets us easily monitor the spring tension without interfering inside the carbine.
The barrel with a length of 24 inches (61cm) length and twist rate:
- 1:17.7 for 5.5mm and 6.35mm calibre
- 1:16 for 7.62mm calibre
makes AEA carbines shoot excellently with slug-type projectiles.
14×1 thread at the muzzle allows an additional moderator to be screwed on, or an adapter from DONNY FL can be screwed on, in which case we can use moderators with a 1/2 UNF thread.
The magazines are made very carefully so as not to damage the pellet or slug when indexing – the magazine capacity changes depending on the calibre:
- 5.5mm – 12 slots
- 6.35mm – 10 slots
- 7.62mm – 9 slots
- 9mm – 8 slots
