Just fired mine for the first time. It is outstanding! No problem bouncing a can at 15 ft. Great balance and accurate. Truely semi-auto with 100 BBs.

The only problem is that I'm using very old 8gr co2 cartridges that I got from a friend. Some are good and some are weak,so it's a crap shoot getting any consistant accuracy.KD

I have new ones that I bought at a restaurant supply.

i was wondering how had dose it shoot

It is an excellent shooter. 100 BB capacity is really fun. Very accurate and plenty of power at the low setting. The high power setting punches a can like a .22

I have plainsman pistol and i need the set screw for the co2 where can i get it.

I have had a Healthways Plainsman for almost 20 years and never shot it for lack of co2 cylinders. What are the restaurant co2 cylinders used for? What does the screw at the bottom of the grip adjust? Are these things worth anything?..thanks in advance

propelling whipped cream or seltzer. The adjustment screw at the bottom is for low and high power.KD (and the kevin D two posts up is not me)

Your messae is an old one, hope you still have this e-mail.
I bought a Plainsman .175 in it's orignial box at a yardsale 3 or so years ago, but haven't found 8 gram CO2 cartridges. Neighbor just told me today, that ACE hardware carrys them. We will see.
Any luck finding them? Also, the info on this pistol on the internet said that a holster came with or was available at one time. Any info on them?
Thanks

I"ve got the "Single-action" Western Plainsman and really need an "exploded Diagram" to find out where the parts go. Can anyone help me ?

Just google 8gram co2 bulbs,there are a number of places you can purchase them on line.

Sometimes silence is golden,sometimes it's not.

willing to sell or trade it is in good shape but has a broken grip make offer Bill 248 632 0684

does anybody have a idea where we can get a seal for the c02 cartridge where it enters the pistol. thanks

Try AB Airgun.

The seal is a fairly common "O-ring" that you can get at a plumbing-supply store. If you don't have the original, take the butt-plug with you; you want one that will stick up a little bit above the shoulder.

The 8-gram cylinders are used in soda-water bottles. USed to be able to get them in grocery stores, nowadays mainly in hardware stores.

Some of the cheap rubber o rings swell up and are not suitable for use in co2 airguns.

Am I missing something? I've opened up the door and loaded roughly 20 bb's, brand new co2 (8gr) - gun fires, but no BB drops into firing chamber. Have I missed a step?
Help & thanks
