Heathaway Plainsman 175 barrel extendtion mod

This is a Heathways plainsman 175 that I have extended the barrel to 12 inches. The barrel was taken from a Heathways MX175 rifle that was a junker for parts. I wanted to keep it as original as possible using Parts from another Heathway gun. Although you could do the same using a barrel from a Crosman or Daisy.

Still shooting offhand without really taking careful aim and taking your time, is still a good group.I never was all that good shooting a pistol offhand. Haven’t tried shooting in the kneeling position though. If I want the best accuracy I can get, I shoot off a rest. But just like with anything the more I practice the better I get it. Just not good enough to suit me though When I can shoot a rifle offhand pretty good.But I still like my pistols though.
 
Professor,

Think I'm going to start calling you Dr. Frankenstein, only thing is he made a monster, you some real beauties! Next April Fool's Day you should make a video with that gun and when you start to shoot a flag should fall down from barrel with BANG written on it. Think I'd die laughing! Seriously, you've really shown some real gunsmith talent with this and the Shorty, I find these videos fascinating to watch. You're right about installing a butt stock on that gun, a true badass, it would be. Can't get over how comfortable you are on camera, think I'd just stare like a deer in the headlights. Thanks for another great video, they sure are appreciated.
