I ordered one of the $39.99 Crosman 1377s also. Just got an email that it arrived at my PO Box today, but too late to pick it up.

Bummer, that would be bad to know it is there and you can't get it

I didn't know they would ship to a PO Box? Might have to pick one up myself, where did you get it?

At Amazon.com.

So with all these talks...would it be cheaper to buy the 2289 bug out kit? Or buy parts and pieces?

The bugout kit has soime cool stuff in it and you get a pretty good deal on nthe stock and long enuf bARREL FOR MOST USES.
All the Crosman offerings are a good deal as buying individual parts gets way pricey. The wood shoulder stock is practically free when yoyu buy a Custom shop gun with that so you need to watch your accesorizing and get what you want that is expoensive in the package ypou buy and then personalize it to your needs and tastes. With about everything I do to a 1322 the Bug-out Kit would top out around $275 where it cost $260 to do it on a stock gun. The diffreence gets you msome cool dodads so it is a good bargain.
For me, it comes down to the fact that the WalMart Bug-Out Survival Kit would cost me ~$93 (tax incl) and the 1322 will be ~$50 (tax incl). Since I already have beaucoup backpacks and even more water bottles, I don't need theirs. (The Crosman logo on the back pack might not allow for the low profile folks want to maintain if they're "buggin' out!) Targets are free for the asking on the internet (but there is some cost for ink and paper). My background allows me to piece together a far superior 1st aid kit and I have a tin of .22cal pellets waiting to be used. Basically, with a price difference of >$40, it means the stock would be quite a bit more than it will cost me from Crosman! Another consideration is that once the barrel length exceeds ~12", the gun becomes very unwieldy in the pistol mode. If you are never again going to use the gun in the pistol mode (and don't care if it no longer fits in the bug out bag), then the 14+" barrels aren't an issue. Another plus for me is that I'm giving my LGS business (always a good thing!) I'm not saying that the WalMart route is good or bad, it's just not the best option for me. Flex

Originally, I had convinced myself that I didn't need to buy the WalMart Doomsday Bug-Out Survival Kit because it was kinda "gimmicky" and that the extras were just fluff. To be completely honest, I still think that is the case. BUT a couple of things have come to my attention over the past couple of days so I went ahead and ordered the WalMart Doomsday Bug-Out Kit. Main reason is that I'm not completely convinced that the distributor that my LGS orders thru is giving any priority to a "lowly" air gun order! Five days after my LGS guy placed my order he had yet to receive a confirmation. When ordered, it was the last one in stock. If the system was bogged down, multiple orders might have been made on that lone 1322. 2nd reason is I may actually be saving some $$$ on the package by buying thru WalMart. (Unfortunately, the $69 deal is over). I redid my math (with new numbers) and found that the skeleton stock and the larger "backpacker" forearm alone will cost me ~$40. I didn't even factor the cost of a 12" barrel. I still like giving my business to my LGS and I've yet to decide if I'm going to cancel my order. Perhaps I'll get a 1377 or a PC77 instead. Two guns are ALWAYS better than ONE! Anyway, I kinda hate to backpedal and change my position on a subject but sometimes "a man's got to do what a man's got to do". I should have my Bug-Out Kit by the end of the week. Flex

I just ordered one of these myself this evening. I think that they hit the Amazon warehouse in waves since they are frequently listed as "out of stock". I have seen some discussion that there may be quality issues with these, so I'm hoping that I get a decent one.
Initially, I had convinced myself that the 1322c was the best platform to "mod" from, so I ordered one. After some internet research and some soul searching too, I decided that the "doomsday bug-out survival kit" might be a better option than I originally thought, so I ordered one of those too! The posting RE: the 1377 American Classic Pump Pistol had me at "$39.99" so (like I mentioned above) I ordered one of those too!! Oh Dear

This forum is costly to one's wallet... too many guns I want.

I could've ordered the 1322C Pistol and 1399 Stock for $81, or I could spend an extra $9 and get the Doomsday Bug Out Kit. The only items going towards my Backpacking kit is the 2289G and pellets. The other items I can use for my daily routine.

Had a similar original plan and, in fact, ordered a 1322c (but didn't order the 1399 stock). After some thought, went ahead and got the WalMart Doomsday ...Kit figuring that the longer barrel had some merit in the "rifle" mode. Had the WalMart order shipped Site to Store and had it in hand in 3 days! Ordered the 1322c 5 days earlier and delivery took a full 2 weeks. So now I have 2 .22 cal air guns! To paraphrase a famous line from the movie CONTACT, "first rule in government spending... why build (buy) one when you can have two at twice the price... and one can be kept secret"! Still need to get the 1399 stock BUT that will allow me to use the 1322 AND the newly ordered 1377 in the rifle mode. Is there a cure for this illness?

I hope not, I'm having too much fun. I ordered a CCS 2240kt and bought a 2240 from Walmart, shooting that while I wait. After reading about the Bug Out 2289, I've ordered one of those from Walmart too!

I am enjoying getting back into AG's, it's something I enjoy, and can enjoy with the Grand kids, while teaching them gun handling and safety. I like the low cost of shooting pellets, and being able to do that in and around the house. I can have a lot of CO2's and pumpers for much less than the cost of one PCP and support equipment. PCP will probably be a long time coming (if ever) unless I win the Lottery.

It's not just the cost of the gun, but as I stated before, the support equipment required,

and I would not plan on using a hand pump. PCP for me, it's all out or nothing.

Hold on guys, if you think your having fun now, and don't own a PCP, you better think again ! My advise would be - sell ALL you pump and springers guns, and GET a PCP.........You want fun ? with a Marauder & a scope, you can pick flies off a $)((# from a LONG distance,.... QUIETLY ! You will NEVER look back ! I am kicking myself for not doing it sooner !

Anyone know which pistol grip goes with that pumper forearm? I'd like my 2289 to have a unified look, and I intend to use it with a Mellon adapter and Tippmann 98 folding stock.

Thanks,
Eric

The grips I use are Crosman parts # 1700-031/1700-032.
