2289 Barrel Lenghts/Modds

[trigger]

I have been wanting to modd my 2289 backpacker, but I just got around to it.  What length of Barrel should I get to make it a .177 target gun?  Also, I know someone around here modded his rifle with a aftermarket cheeck riser.  I was wandering where he got that?  Thanks guys.

Check out this thread,you will have to scroll down to find the list. You will need to order the 177 bolt and bolt O ring  as well part #1377A062 and 397-062 these would be for a gun with a stock plastic breech. If you are using a steel breech you would need to go to one of the aftermarket suppliers.
You can order the one you want from the Crosman customer service department at  1 800 724 7486

LW barrels are the most accurate.  The Crosman 2300S target pistol uses a 10.1" LW match barrel part#2300-002.  If you are using a steel breech, you can order the 2300s bolt assembly (long nose bolt, o-ring and handle) #2300-123. in standard barrels there are only a few available from Crosman:
.177 (4.5mm)
Length      Original Gun      Crosman P/N
7.5”          2240 Only         1740-002
10.25”      1377                 1377-025
10.1”       LW  Match          2300-102
24”          1760                  1760-001 or (1760SE-001 Discovery barrel if the 1760 is no longer available)

You can cut a longer one  down and re-crown it, or order any length you want from a vendor.

Least expensive way if you are staying with the Crosman plastic breech is to use the 1377 barrel and the 1377 barrel band.  If you are using a steel breech you can cut off the barrel mount you have & free float the barrel with a FO 760 sight.
