Comments:
The Plainsman was
originally manufactured by Healthways in Compton, CA. In 1983,
Healthways was purchased by Marksman (Huntington Beach, CA) who
continued to manufacture the Plainsman BB pistol until 1987
under the Marksman name as the model 1049. The Marksman
Plainsman utilizes 12 gram CO2
cylinders and has the same three-position power adjusting knob
at the base of the grip. The cartridge piercing system is simple
but effective using an over-sized knurled piercing knob. This
sample of the Marksman Plainsman showed very consistent shot
velocities and decent accuracy making it a respectable plinker.
Performance:
Measurements were made on
3/14/07 at a temperature of 69 ºF and 14' elevation. A ten shot
string was fired from a bench rest at 15' using Daisy Avanti BBs
(5.5 gr).
The highest velocity measured was 372 fps (hi power setting), the lowest was
362 fps
(average of the 10-shot string was 367 fps). A six shot string
fired with open sights grouped at 0.67". Click the thumbnail below to see a
