Here is a picture of the parts diagram for the 2289 on Crosman's website. The barrel extends way past the pump tube which leads me to believe that it's 14.5" long. The part # for the barrel is 2289-001. I'll buy it, cut it down and re-crown it.
The 2289-001 barrel is now 12 inches long. I have ordered this barrel before expecting it to be the 14.5 inches of the old 2289. I guess that they kept the same part number when they changed the length.The 2250-19 is the currently available 14 inch barrel in .22 from Crosman

Edit: just placed the order with Crosman and the guy taking the order believes the barrel is 12". It costs only $11. Makes me wonder why I see Crosman barrels for sale on eBay and other places for $40....
Cool testing idea It should be noted that the 2289 is a 22 and the pellet travels slower than the 177s from the others, still impressive and a real use for a phone book.I have allocated 2 old phone books for testing my shooters later. This is what makes this forum so great many smart folks passing along great ideas. Ed
