hole in my grip frame

[1377x]

i just noticed a hole in my grip frame in front of the rear grip frame screw location
who knows what its for?

[tatsumi]

Do you have a pic?

[1377x]

not yet
i know its at a funny angle not a straight down hole

[tatsumi]

Does it go in the direction of the trigger components,hard to visualize

[1377x]

i can actually see the sear/hammer through the hole
so i guess that means the hole is located @the sear slot in the tube when looking through the hole

(i think) that hole is there for parts #1389A006 and the spring #1322-017

It's there just incase you want to use the Crosman shoulder stock.  
have a look: http://www.crosman.com/pdf/manuals/crosman/2289/C2289-EVP.pdf

edit. Is that the hole your talking about?

I see that the spring used is the same one used in the safety mechanism and the other part looks like a holder for the spring but I cannot see why those two pieces are used from the parts list.  I've noticed the holes many times before and thought it might have been a carry over from the old days as the trigger frame has been around for many, many moons.

could it be for a grub screw, perhaps an over travel method much the same as installing one behind the trigger blade. did you buy it new?

(if that's the hole 1377x is talking about)


It's (exactly) the same spring Crosman uses for the safety.
The spring is compressed against the pump tube,, and the other end,, pushes down the metal part #1389A006 (which is a hollowed out cylinder shape for the spring to seat into) locking the shoulder stock in place.
When you want to remove the shoulder stock, all you have to do is push the metal part#1389A006 UP (compressing the spring) and it releases the shoulder stock. pretty neat invention. 

I'm about to post a shoulder stock for sale. (with those parts)
If you buy a shoulder stock it's kind of useless with out them. as the shoulder stock will not stay locked in place.
In Canada the 2289g's (backpackers) are "were" a popular item, i'm used to seeing it.

Okay, spill the beans.  Which shoulder stock would this be?  

And do you mean the stock is not held on by the two screws in the frame grips?

Yes, the shoulder stock is NOT originally held on by screws. 
its the 1399 shoulder stock. right here: http://www.crosman.com/airguns/accessories/custom/1399
(In Canada) The 2289g backpackers used to come with two sets of grips. The shoulder stock, and just regular grips if you do not want to use the shoulder stock. So the holes on the side of the shoulder stock grip were never drilled out for screws.

Watch Nates video for a better understanding: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-HClXrG5kQ#]crosman 2289g[/url]

Carl

That's it. 

[tatsumi]

i was clearly wrong in my gestimations there

[1377x]

now the hole makes sense after watching nates video
he just pulls the stock off
