Stock replacement

#1 Post by Inquisitor »

I know it's a noob gun, but I have a Crosman pump-up Backpacker, and I was wondering if anyone else has one? If so, what kind of stuff would you recommend if I wanted to customize it (mine is stock right now)? I hate the iron sights, and was thinking about a red dot sight. Also, I need a better stock... has anyone seen or heard of an alternative removable stock, other than the one that comes with it? Thanks.

You can fab up a wooden stock on your own, or order one from RBgrips.

Inquisitor.....start with the #2240SBPK kit from Crosman Canada.......that's gotta be your first mod...costs around 36.00 dollars before shipping and tax....from there... you can add Optics to the rail of your new breech...... :wink:

If you don't want that crosman stock I'll take it. But, if you drill a small hole through the center of the bullseye on each side of the grip you can use the screws for the grip panels to hold the stock much more securely. A set screw through the bottom of the grip will also stabilize the stock so that it no longer wobbles.

That was my first 2289 mod.

WHAT?!!? It's not a diana, or an anshutz, but 2289s are definetly not a noob gun. Don't feel bad about it.

Hey, don't hate. It releases negative energy, which is bad for everyone.

Hmmm... perhaps. A Daisy Red Ryder is a noob gun for sure. But to me the Backpacker feels... like a toy. All that plastic you know. I like that wooden stock Marmot. Thanks all for the insights.

Noob: Lets see....My '89 has full mods, RJ breech, re-worked trigger, 4X32 "bug buster", and a ummmm....lets call it a "brake". Throws CP's out at 800+ FPS and makes one hole out of 5 shots at 20 yards. Weighs about 4 lbs and comes apart to go into an itty bitty (read: discreet) case.

Definitely not a newbie gun, but one that is a hoot to build up.
