I can not find any pictures of my 2298G before modifying it.  When I bought it I never intended to use it without at least replacing the breech and the barrel band.  The picture I posted was very hard to locate at the time - most of the ad pictures showed the old model with the 14.5" barrel.
Stranded in California.

The parts are the same for all 3 the only difference is the pump arm and the barrels.

I'll take a pic of my 2289G BackPacker in a minute and post it.  I haven't done anything to it yet except shoot it.

Any time I want to see my 2289 stock all as I have to do is, look at the box.

OK, here is mine.  I got it in the Doomsday Bug-Out Kit.  It isn't gonna stay this way for long.

I left mine totally stock.  Sometimes it nice not to have to worry about what to do or do next to a gun.  And the 2289 is one of those.  It shoots just fine right out of the box.

Same here except... trigger mods (the usual) and a fiber-optic front sight off a 760 pumper. I love how light this gun is compared to my other heavily modified guns, totally fun to shoot and accurate as heck  :-*

These are the new Backpackers, right? Or are these the old ones? I get confused with the pumpers. You pumper guys have to educate me.
Thanks,

I think most of the chatter has been about the "new" model 2289 Rich (aka backpacker) , a little shorter barrel than the old model but the same gun.

These are the new ones.  The older ones had a 14.5" barrel and these are 12".  You can tell by the lack of space between the barrel band and the front sight.  The older ones with 14.5" barrels had about 2-1/2" between the front of the barrel band and the rear of the front sight.
I have a 2250 barrel (14.5") that will go on mine when I install the steel breech.  I will also do a trigger job at that time if not before.

Yepper, I totally agree with you Brian.

Thanks Jerry :-* that helps clear things up for me. I wonder why they didn't go with the longer barrel?
Did I just ask that?
