Jimmie Dee presents the Challenger Arms Corporation Plainsman CO₂ Pistol (1954-1958)

[JimmieDee]

Following on from the Apache and Challenger Arms Plainsman (pneumatic) articles, I have revisited the Challenger Arms CO2 Plainsman pistol article. It now has the usual Jimmie Dee hi-res strip down photograph but also a couple of new pieces of information that have previously never been documented. So a world first for Jimmie Dee's Airguns perhaps....

He's done a fine job - please congratulate him for us, Jimmie.

You're a quick reader!

You're a quick reader!

I have to admit I'd only skimmed it at that point, but will read it properly in due course.

I have a few of these so that is going to be very helpful!
To date I have only had to replace the end cap o ring on one.

Not a good idea to shoot this pistol without warning those standing next to you!

[JimmieDee]

Loud aren't they! But brilliant.

Do you have box complete with instructions? If so, Could I trouble you for a photograph of the instructions please? You can grab my email from the email icon at the top of my website.

Thanks,
Jimmie

There's a box here. Pretty boring though.

Hi Danny. I have a box, just missing the instructions for the pistol. If anyone has the instructions (maybe inside the lid), could they photograph and pass it on to me please?

Thanks,
Jimmie

Very boring box Danny!

I have to admit to making a couple of layout errors.... the sear is the wrong way round but you'd work that out soon enough. The valve layout is slightly wrong. The part that looks like a spring guide or top hat should be fitted to the piercing pin side of the spring not the valve side. Also, there is a gasket/seal missing that seals between the CO2 capsule tube and the end of the valve. It was still in the pistol when I took the photo.

All the best,
Jimmie
