Healthways Plainsman BB Pistol Disassembly, Part 1. I picked this up awhile back and forgot I had it! It’s an early Healthways Plainsman BB pistol. Healthways Plainsman Model 175 - 8 Gram CO2 - BB Cal. ****Left Click Photos To Enlarge. Return To Air Pistol Images. Return To Homepage. Create a free website.
The question was does the Healthway Plainsman 175 take the 8gr.co2 cartridges and can you buy them.My answer was yes they do take the 8gr units and yes you can buy them, which is correct. The Healthways did not take the 12gr.units they used the 8gr.units.Healthway was purchased by Marksman in the early 1980's and produced the same pistol that used the larger 12gr.co2 units,these gun's are Marksman Plainsman gun's NOT Healthway Plainsman gun's which the question was about.
As i said i believe some one made an adapter to allow the use of the larger co2 units for the Healthway gun's which used the 8 gr. Units.Your suggestion should work.PS: the Heathway gun's are marked as such on the side of the gun, and the Marksman manuf. Gun's are marked as such on the side of their gun's also.

No need to shout.Maybe some one did exactly what you said and put the larger unit on the BASIC, new pistol.Non the less there are exceptions to every thing.Maybe a little more research will solve the question.PS: Healthway's were manuf.
In Compton.CA and the Marksman in Huntington Beach,CA. It's possible there was a transition period.We are here to learn,if we are trying to correct someone we can do it in a civil and candid manner.Like all human' iv'e been wrong before.Will see. Sometimes silence is golden,sometimes it's not.

Pelletier I wanted to title this report Americana, because that’s what it really is. But when someone on the internet wants to research their gun, the model is the only thing they are interested in. Make no mistake, though–the Healthways Plainsman is Americana, as much as Dad’s Root Beer and Buster Brown shoes. Unlike the Daisy Red Ryder that everyone knows by name, the Healthways Plainsman is the BB pistol that almost everybody knows on sight, without knowing what it is.
It’s about as ubiquitous as the, but most of you may have to think about it for awhile. And showing you a period ad may stimulate your memories. A Plainsman ad from 1965. They called the gun semiautomatic because you just keep pulling the trigger to fire.
Actually it’s double-action. I DID NOT go to Roanoke to buy a Plainsman! The Bulimia Help Method Ebookers there. In fact, I have assiduously avoided the Plainsman for the past 20 years. Before that, I wasn’t a writer, so my avoidance was private and didn’t count.
I have blogged Chinese spring guns. I have blogged Marksman BB pistols. I have even blogged Wamo cap-firing BB guns that have less power than thrown BBs. So, why was I avoiding the Plainsman? No good reason.
In fact, this is a great little BB gun that I actually shot in my youth. My favorite relative was Uncle Don.
He was a man’s man. Whenever we got together, he got out his guns and let me shoot. Md 81299 Tevion Manual Lymphatic Drainage there. One summer I spent a couple weeks with him and Aunt Gert on the shores of the St. Lawrence River. There, he introduced me to his Plainsman.
It shot fast and hard–two things a 12-year-old boy likes. I went through so much of his CO2 that he had to put the brakes on and get me fishing to slow me down. But I never owned one of these pistols myself; and when the time came to get airguns, I went other ways. In this report, I want to discover what I missed–right along with you.
I stumbled across this pistol on Mike Ahuna’s table at the Roanoke airgun show last weekend. It was in the box and included an owner’s manual, sales receipt (without the year of sale, unfortunately) and several other papers associated with both the gun and with Numrich Arms (the former name of Gun Parts Corporation), where it was sold.
