12" .22 Barrel?

[BillK]

Thinking of a project and wonder if anyone knows the part # for the newer Backpacker 12" barrel.
I would rather buy one as I have never cut a barrel before and would hate to mess it up.

All I see on their web site is the 2289 in the rifle section. The new backpacker is a 2289G. The number I found is 2289-001.

I have read that some of the members have been ordering the 14" barrel and receiving the new 12" barrel.

Thanks MD.  I'll give them a call tomorrow.  Might get lucky.

It would not surprise me in the least if you get a 12" barrel with that part# because the new backpackers come with a 12" barrel.  I think they should use a new part number for the new barrel, but whether they are (or will) or not is anyone's guess.
I wanted a 14.5" barrel to put on my new backpacker so I would have one the same length as the original.  I ordered one using the part # for a 2250 barrel (2250-019) and I got one that is 14-9/16" long and has a dimple for the upper barrel band setscrew at approximately 7-7/8" from the muzzle and 6-11/16" from the breech end.  It will show when I install it on my backpacker but I don't care.  I also received a 2400KT CCS gun with an identical 14.5" barrel on it and it shoots very accurately out of the box with not even a barrel cleaning.  However, I only have a 5M range in my shed and have not used a benchrest yet.  I hope the backpacker shoots as accurately as the new 2400KT.  As soon as I get some chrono numbers from the 2400, it's coming apart because I ordered it for the parts to use on three other guns I'm building.

That's rite duck,I ordered a 14.5 from crosman and it came in a 12". I called crosman and the guy said they have changed them from 14.5" to 12". I told him that the first part of my order was 14.5" barrels . He sent me the 14.5" barrel and told me to keep the 12" that it was to much trouble to have sent back.

I ordered a 2289-001 last February....cost 10.58 plus 4 for shipping....it was 14.5" and it is a laser my most accurate gun
Maybe you could ask when ordering what barrel length they will provide....

Well I didn't call because the 13xx I was going to put it on was sold.  Did get a couple of 2289s to mess with so I did get a 12" barrel with gun attached.
My son will probably end up with one of them while the other? Something...
