I'll just use a 1322 on the zombies. I do not think that they will be be able to tell it's not a 2289 after I shoot out their eyes!

Pretty impressed with the test video. Thanks for posting that. I have no .22 cal airguns, and this one might just be on my list for my Christmas present to me.

As an aside, my deceased Dad grew up in Oregon. His Dad abandoned his family never to be seen again. My Grandma had to support the family alone. My Dad's uncle and him used to load up some kit and go live off the land in the deep woods in Oregon sometimes for a few weeks. Also my Dad, if the family was going to have meat, had to go hunting and bag something. He gave me the .22 rifle that he used for everything way back. It's a Savage pump action quick take down gun with an octagon barrel and open sights. I haven't shot it a lot, but enough to know that it's plenty accurate to 50 nyards and probably beyond. That's as far out as I've fired it. I'd guess it was made in the 1920s. You remove a large knurled round nut that holds the action to the receiver and it comes apart into 3 pieces. It's a working gun and no wall hanger, and it's with me for life. It'l shoot .22S,L, and LR ammo and the action is smooth as butter.
However, I would like one of these new Crosman airguns. I have an acre on the Big Island of Hawaii and shoot my airguns here with proper target setup etc. Also, I think this little takedown airgun would be good to take over to my daughter's and son in laws place here and try to bag a few mongoose that are trying to decimate their chickens. A .22 pellet at 450-500fps and good accuracy should nail some of those little ba#terds!!!
By the way, Hawaii has some prettyb restrictive gun laws here. If you move here you are required to take all your smokeless burning firearms to a local Police station and register them with serial numbers etc. You can bring handguns, but, I think buying them here is pretty tough. On paper you can apply for a concealed weapons permit, but in reality noone (outside of politicians and retired Police I imagin) ever really gets one approved. I don't want one anyway. I did have one for some 35 years in Wa. State though I seldome carried. I did have occasion to use a handgun in self defense once when a nutcase smashed his way into my house about 11:00PM on my 22nd birthday (I'm now 59). I didn't have to fire the gun but held the dude at gunpoint and called the Police and they came and took him away to a nice jail cell for a short time.

Sorry to revive an old thread but was hoping someone could answer a question for me. Right now Walmart has this kit for 69 bucks shipped free. I was about to buy it but cannot figure out something.

On PA's site it shows pics of the gun with the 12 inch barrel. On Crosman's own site and Walmart's site it has the exact same kit but obviously shows the gun with a longer 14 inch barrel.

So can anyway confirm the length of the barrel on the kits shipping now. I know most of you were indicating it was now a 12 inch barrel. I am just trying to figure out if they are now shipping with 14 inch barrels or are these mistakes in the pictures. I could understand them making a mistake in the pic at Walmart but not at Crosman's site.

Thanks for the help

Wal-Mart uses stock photos. Not always a photo of the specific item.

I just went out and measured the length of my 12" barreled backpacker I just got from walmart on their $75 sale, it is just over 27" long. Walmart is stating in their $69 add that it is 30.something" long, which would add up to a 14.6" long barrel. Using the same part# 30061 in a search, I was taken to Crosman's site and they show it with a long barrel also. Also the FPS are different on the two sale guns, $75 was 490 and $69 is 525. I'm going to call tomorrow and see if this can be sorted out. Regards, Tom

Yes I also noticed the difference in FPS between the guns in the ads. Please let us know what you find out.

I think you will probably get a 12" barrel if you order one of these (2289G). I put a 14" barrel on mine and used the 12" barrel for a 1322. I think it is a real bargain for a 1322 + 12"barrel +stock. The other things that came with it are irrelevant to me. A lot of the ads showed the old version. Here is a correct picture.

Yes I think you are correct in that I am likely to get the 12 inch barrel. Either was really fine for the money. I just liked the cosmetics of the 14 inch over the 12 inch and of course +-30FPS didn't hurt either.

I called Crosman this morning, their representative said that the barrel in the doomsday kit is 12". He acknowledged the wrong measurements and weight printed on the package. Regards, Tom

OK. I figured that was probably the case. I ordered one anyway. Should be here in a day or two. Thanks for the info.

Here's a heads-up on a limited stock of Original Crosman 2289G/Backpacker's. I picked another one up, and 24" barrel just to keep in the box in case something happens to the one I'm using now, I recently picked up a flat-top piston kit for one of my 1322's, but I think I'll be putting into the 2289, just for the ease of pumping as well as being able to mod the 2289 into many more different variation's . Don't get me wrong I love the 1322, but aside from putting a steel breech, and a flat-top piston, as well as a shoulder stock that's about it, you can't even put on a muzzlebrake, at least with the 2289 you have the option of putting on a different length of barrel, I have a 24" barrel on mine now, and it is such a sweet shooter, super accurate w/ the right ammo, and with the flat-top piston/ "Crooked Barn" breech(aluminum) the gun puts out 680fps with 15.9 JSB Jumbo Straton's(& just over 800fps w/ 10.3gr Skenco's

), which is OK in my book, and another plus to this combois that even scoped out with a 4-16x44 AO/E it doesn't make you bust a nut toting around in the field all day. Here's the link: http://scopesandammo.com/storefront/product_info.php/crosman-2289g-pistolcarbine-p-842 , These guy's(namely Eric) are fantastic to deal with, alway's managing to pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat when it comes to things like this, and they also carry quite the selection of after-market Crosman/QB78(D)-79 part's at good pricing. So, check them out, I'm sure you'll be pleased with their selection/level of service. Cheer's & Happy Huntin', Andy.

I see that Crosman (at Amazon.com) is akso selling the 1322 with the rifle stock and a couple other things for $79.99. It has the stock 10" tube on it.

I've been researching Crosman pistols lately. That Walmart price is great, and I'll watch their website for (maybe) an "after Christmas sale". Not sure yet if I want a pumper, but if the price goes even lower I wouldn't mind it over a CO2 gun.
