Crosman doomsday bugout kit

[TleVta]

Thanks. Not mine, but I like the photo.

If Walmart drops the price another $10, I'm gonna get a B/O kit. Not crazy about pumpers, but I like carbines. A lot.

Dropped it to $69 after I bought one for the $75 price. 

[TleVta]

Yes, I've seen that new price, but I want to think it'll drop down to $59 later.

Thanks for the thread. I just bought this @ Walmart for $69. Can't wait to start the mods

[lillysdad621]

to anyone interested there is a review of it in New frontiersman Magazine. it even speaks about the 1377 as a predecessor true and tested. by the way... it is a pretty interesting magazine too.

OK!  New Years Resolution is broken already.  I just ordered the Bug Out kit fom Wally-World.

The link I had originally put up for the few remaining ORIGINAL 2289G's in existence has been changed. So, here's the new Link: http://scopesandammo.com/storefront/product_info.php/crosman-2289g-pistolcarbine-p-843  ,I just received my *New* 2289G BackPacker the other day, and out of the box, It's still the good lookin' gun it's always been,. Personally I think the new 2289's being offered by Crosman in their Stupid!! "Bug-Out" gimmick are &^^&!. It may as well be a 1322 for what it's worth. I've included a few pic's, One is a comparison of an original 2289g w/ a modded 2289g, also a pic of a 2289g against a 1322, and lastly a pic of a maxxed out 1322, and a regular 1322(both have a flat-top piston installed,and Crosman steel breech, I have a "Crooked Barn" aluminum breech on my modded 2289G, and for what it's worth Crosman produces a much better breech, I think I'll be relegating the C/B breech to my 1322 pistol, if not putting it away as a spare. The Original 2289G Backpacker was, and still is a great gun in it's original form, The new one may as well be 1322. Cheer's, Andy.

[JPowell490]

Yea, but there is a big problem with that link. 

That 2289 they are selling has been detuned for Canada.  The 2289 that Wal-Mart sells has not.  I would think that would be a deciding factor for sure.

[2nd RCHA]

Yup, you're right,,That's why I modded them all with a flat-top piston, http://scopesandammo.com/storefront/product_info.php/crosman-13xx2289-flat-top-piston-kit-p-194 , It may be a little work, but in the end I'll have a shooter that'll blow away any store bought Crosman 2289, which is de-tuned, even with out adding the FTP, the only difference is the bleeder hole on the valve, fill that in with a little solder, and you're good to go. Cheer's, Andy.

[TleVta]

That's a reasonable deal for both valve and piston. Do they port the valve in an angle like the other ones I've seen for sale? Do you use regular lead solder for that bleed hole? Cool photos of your collection, BTW.

[2nd RCHA]

As far as I know, the valve that comes with the FTP Kit is basically the US valve, so no work needs to be done to it at all,,Out of the box, with no work done to it, You can expect a M/V of around 495-505fps, with the bleeder plugged you should be getting around 600fps using 14.3gr Crosman Domes, with the bleeder plugged(or a US valve), and the FTP kit installed you should be getting around 700fps, with mine, I'm getting close to 700fps using 15.8gr Jumbo Stratons,& over 725fps using 14.3gr Crosman Dome's (and around 825fps using 10.1gr Skenco alloy round's, with my highest reading coming in at 875fps w/ Crosman SSP's), and w/ a 24" Crosman Barrel attached(originally meant for a 2260) I'm squeeezing every last bit of power that unit can produce. I've seen some real "Frankenstein" 2289's sporting 60+" barrel's out there that are pushing 1000fps, but thats with quite a bit more work than just switching a barrel, adding a Steel Breech/FTP/US Valve. I'm extremely happy with my set-up, Outstandingly accurate with the right ammo(ammo selection is the key to success when using Crosman Barrels of any length due to the slightness in their Rifling, aside from the .177 10.1" "Lothar Walther"), Outside of JSB's(which have very thin skirts near the bottom of the pellet), I find Air Arm's Falcon's which are Dome's weighing in @13.43gr https://www.pyramydair.com/product/air-arms-falcon-22-cal-5-52mm-13-43-grains-domed-500ct?p=716 ,to be one of the best lead pellets you can use in any of the .22 Crosman Pistol/Rifle offering's out there, BTW There's a *New* pellet coming onto the scene with the right weight,B/C,Shape,etc,. that's being brought out by FX, http://airgunsource.com/store/index.php?product=FX-552216 ,They came out the same time FX was bringing out their new "Smooth-Twist" barreled A/G's, and let me tell you,,,These pellet's are as "Tony the Tiger" would say "The'r-r-r-e GREAT", If you haven't tried them out, I urge you to give them a try, I find them to be extremely accurate in all of my .22 shooters. Cheer's, and Happy Huntin', Andy.

Just a quick question about the backpacker:  can anybody suggest a sling for it?   Yes, I realize that the whole idea behind is that it is collapsible, but I am interested in slinging it and hiking with just the gun and bare essentials.....

thanks in advance.....

[TleVta]

I've got one of these for my Marauder Pistol:

http://www.voodootactical.net/p-433-voodoo-tactical-single-point-tactical-rifle-sling-wbungee.aspx

But I've got a Tippman stock on the Prod, so you'll need to put some kind of loop on the stock for the hook to attach it.

[blankmange]

thank you for that...  I was thinking of a more traditional sling, with hard points on the stock and forward grip....

something like Allen Co's sling and swivel set.....

[IslandShooter]

Walmart has pulled the $69.00 price midnight last night...."dang" "dang" "dang". It's $87.00 now. I waited an hour too long. "dang" "dang"...arggggg.

I just received my Bug-Out kit today and was wanting to do some mods on it, but Im not sure what I should do first. I'm thinking the Crosman Steel Breech and then a FTP and valve. Can someone tell me where I can get the FTP and valve assembly? Wanted to get them from MellonAire but he's back-ordered for too long. (I'm impatient) LOL...
I also thought about filing down the OE piston but that would still require a new valve assembly, right?
ANY suggestions for these and any other mod parts for the 2289 would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance...

Upon further reading, perhaps I should have said....IN THE U.S.A.... as I didnt want the hassle of outside shipping,etc.!

Roy at Mountain Air guns has the parts too. go to the GTA Mall at the top of the page for the link. also Crosmods is in the mall but havent seemany real reviews of them yet.

After speaking to Roy, he's the man in my book.

Im having a 1322 carbine customized by Mountain air right now. While I would have  liked to do over the 1322 myself, by the time the basic 1322 acquisition, FTP, better trigger, steel breech, longer barrels etc are bought, shipping, etc. I said screw it, and have Mountain Air supply the iron and get it done. I thought his price was fair.
  Still think about owning a Bugout airgun to really put something of myself into the airgun as opposed to turnkey,  but there will always be time for that.
 Hard part is waiting for the delivery

[birdmove]

  You can actually buy some parts through Amazon.com. They sell the metal breeches, barrels, and other stuff.

I wonder sometimes if people actually read any of the posts put down in this thread.I posted numerously the link on where to obtain everything needed to "modify"2289'/1322's, These are great, I've used them in all of my 22XX/13XX build's, :http://scopesandammo.com/storefront/product_info.php/crosman-13xx2289-flat-top-piston-kit-p-194 ,and as far as Third-Party offerings for Crosman/QB build's I find them to be second to none(lot's of Brass & chromed item's for real "Bling", http://scopesandammo.com/storefront/index.php/airgun-parts-custom-service-c-38 , I'm debating getting a set of custom wood grips,It would be the cherry on a sundae for my 1322 pistol .There was a question regarding what type of sling would be good for a Crosman build, I've found that with a little work you can come up with one that's almost a perfect fit. firstly get yourself a sling minus the swivels I've simply slipped the front part onto the barrel, then replaced the muzzle break, the rear part simply fits around/through the stock skeleton, and is securely held in place by it's own strap ring, or for ease you can just use a "shot-gun" sling., "Butler Creek", has a wide selection, with quite a few different camo patterns, all come with a thick foam pad,& thumb-loop that makes carrying the heaviest gun you have a breeze to carry for a day in the field, but the ones you can get at Wally World for a couple buck's work just as well,my 2289 w/ a 24" barrel, and a 4-16X40 A/O on top only comes in at a few pound's anyway's.
