I know this is a long shot, but would anyone know if the BB feeding spring from a Daisy 179 would work on a Healthways Western Plainsman, spring pistol. Both have similar BB loading systems (that is single action pistol, where BBs feed into gun via internal spring feed magazine).

The Western Plainsman, was a very rare "peacemaker" styled BB gun. Was only made for one year (1963) and came in a CO2 (8 gm.) & spring version. The spring version seems to be similar to the Daisy 179, but was spring powered, where as the 179 was more of a "catapult" gun.

The CO2 version seemed to be a bit ahead of it's time. No bulky CO2 under the barrel, like the Crosmans western revolvers of the day. More like the modern CO2 western revolvers that have it's CO2 in the grips.

I know it's a long shot, but just got both version of the Western Plainsman & one has a weak loading spring & the other is missing a spring. Of course, there doesn't seem to be any parts out there for them.

Thanks.
