Called Crosman

[1377x]

how much is a barrel if ordered directly from crosman? specifically 2289 or 1389 24" barrel

you really dont want a 1389 barrel unless you have a 1389 or ssp250

why's that? i thought those were the standard barrel that all the 1377 tinkerers use..  is the loading port different or something?

the 1389 uses the same breech as the ssp250.the breech sets the barrel higher than a 13xx/22xx breech
the barrel doesnt a have transfer port.its in the breech the barrel gets its air from the back not through the transfer port

hmm  sounds like i could use one for the 760 project thats stirring in my head..  those load from the back also. i would just have to use a lathe on the end to get it to fit into the built in TP of the 760. i keep looking on gunbroker but havent seen any old 760's for sale. i'd like to get one thats all wood/metal. are they even built the same as the new ones? like, do the old ones use the little 5 shot pellet magazines?

do you know if the metal reveiver will fit on a plastic receiver 760??
i have a metal receiver all the part that go in it are scattered about!!

er  well..  i dont know what that is

This theory sounds like it would work well by eliminating the transfer tube. Hmmm, more food for thought!!
Does anyoone have any input on how well the 1389 & ssp250 utilizes the air??

i just looked up the diagram for the 2289. its looks identical to the 1377, just has a longer barrel and better stock and forearm. the 2100 barrel doesnt have the transfer port hole though.

i did some diagram comparisons on the 760 reciever while i was at it too. it looks like theyve been making it the same forever. it should fit. all the screws are in the same spots and the dimensions look the same.

1389 and 2289 are two different beasts
you night want to look up 1389 while youre at it

[millipede]

yep youre right. i dont have time to fully examine the diagram right now. but i didnt see the bolt for the 1389. how do you cock it? does crosman still make them?

Pull the cocking knob at the rear

Me likes that fancy little latch on the 1389! Did I see that right? Looks like you flip it open and load the pellet outside the breech, flip it back in and then seat the pellet into the barrel when cocking.

Is that what I just saw?? I like it if that is the case. Why on earth did Crosman stop making that cool and easy loading funtion??
