Update 6/30/15
Mags have shipped today from Charlottesville, VA via USPS Priority Mail. Please let me know if by next week at this time you have not received your mags.
********************************************************
They have some stainless mags in stock and can be purchased individually directly from Checkmate - Ask for Brendon 631-491-1777 They know about Rohrabugh/Remington and arnt interested in selling all the remaining stainless mags to one or two people only to have them jack up the prices on Gun Broker. So if you want a small number they will sell them to you at a fair price - no funny business.

I would commit to 3 for sure.5 if I absolutely had to.
I bought, among a few other things for my R9,2 mags from Williams.I then posted this on the forum that they were getting a bit low on that item.I regret posting that shortage because it seems they ran out when you called them.At the time I didn't, but should have thought about someone hoarding them for profit.
Either way, you can count on me for 3 for sure.

Thanks Johnny. I don't think this is your fault. Williams only ever had 5 black mags and not a lot of stainless so I just think they did not have many to start.
-
I'm take 5. Thanks for doing this.
-
I'll take 10. Thanks for thinking of all of us.
-
I'll take 5. 8)
What a forum...
-
I'll take 6 please
Thanks for doing this!!!
-
Count me in for six.
Thanks,
Griff
-
I'll take Four please.
Thank You!
-
Ryan-
I'll take 10. (If my math is right, that's a minimum so far of 59 or so.)
-Chris
-
Set me up for 4 ( FOUR). :D Thanks!
-
Just make mine an "even" 5 for sure.

Put me down for "4" mags and just let me know were to send the money. Thanks for doing this!
-
I will take 6.
-
Please put me down for 2. Thanks Ryan!
-
Ryan - Four magazines please.
-
I will take six. Will they have the Rohrbaugh logo like the originals?
-
If ordering takes place I would buy 2 of the mags
-

Rich - it is my understanding that these are already made OEM stainless mags that they would just apply the bluing process to so they should have the logo on the baseplate. I will confirm before I order thought.
We are getting close to making this happen. Thank you everyone.
-
I will take two if they are still available.
Thanks fellas!
Doug
-
I will take 2 more for a total of 6.
-
I will take 4. Let me know if this happens
-
Please put me down for "4" each magazines. 8)
-
Ding ding : ) is that it Ryan? Did you hit your minimum required? Wow that was quick. Ingenious idea.
-
I am in for 2 if available. :)
-
What a fantastic response Ryan! Good on you as they say! . . . . . and what a great idea setting this up also. Thumbs up Sir. 8)
-
I will take 4 please.
John Byers
-
I will take 2 please. Thanks
-
1 will take 2..
-
If it's not too late... I would be interested in 3.
Thanks, Keith
-
Ryan, when are you ending this offer, (date?) and do you know how you want the money's sent, (PayPal, check, money order)? Also did the manufacture say how long the make the mags and get shipped to you? Thanks again for heading this up for everyone.
-
Is the OP mia?
-
Put me down for at least 10. I'd prefer they were SS polished though, like the normal ones that come with R9's.
And I'd like to be able to buy some spare mag springs. It doesn't look like Wolff carries them, but I wonder if the Kahr MK9 6rd/Sig P938 6rd mag springs would work fine.

Eric said somewhere that the R9 magazines were patterned after the Colt Pocket Nine.
-
That is awesome if I can order some pocket nine mag springs and they work the same as the updated OEM springs. Thanks for that bit of info!
-
Is the OP mia?
I am here. Will call the vendor tomorrow and post an update.
Psycho - if you want stainless oem mags I will pm you the info. They are $40 each.
-

Actually, not 100%. The original springs were ten coils, which we found not to work that well as they were too slow in raising the rounds due to the fast action of our slides. We went to a 13 coil mag spring and it was too much spring. 12 coils work best on the R9.

Update.
I just called the R9 magazine OEM to ask if more than 100 magazines can be run through the bluing process. The person at the R9 magazine OEM who is coordinating the group buy is out until April 10th but they are going to try to get me an answer before then.
If they can do more than 100 at a time than I will leave the group ordering open until April 10th at 9AM EST after which I will call the company and order however many people had requested.
If they are limited to 100 per batch the first 100 folks who replied will get the magazines. There was one member who offered to take fewer so others could have some if it is an issue but we can coordinate that only if it is necessary.
I will post an update as soon as they get back to me.
Thanks,
Ryan
-
Thanks for the update!
-
Appreciate the update........you are the Man! 8)
-
Yes,thank you Ryan for coordinating all this.
-
Thanks for setting this up. I'll take three. Are we doing PayPal for payment?
-
Ryan: PayPal might be an efficient way to be paid by the members and pay the supplier without the funds using snail mail. If you decide on this avenue, the members need to realize that they need to pay an extra 3% as you will be charged that by PayPal. The only way to get around the 3% charge is if we all say that we are sending funds to a family member. Do you need the correct spelling of my last name for your will?
-
Don't forget we need to figure out shipping, and add that to the cost. I don't know if we just want to pay for a flat rate envelope to make it easy or what, I am down for what ever. Thanks again!
-
Thanks Ryan. I am checking back regularly on this thread. Keep us informed and thanks for putting this together.
-
Haven't heard back from the mag oem yet with respect to if they can blue more than 100 at a time I'll try calling them again tomorrow and will post an update then.
-
Checkmate is closed for the holiday weekend today. I will call again on Monday.

Yea I had two of the original mags that came with my first R9s and the springs were terrible. Jams all the time. I even thought to myself the springs seemed very weak. I called you guys asking for a warranty replacement and the nice lady said two new style magazine springs would be sent out. They fixed all the problems my R9s had. Wish I had kept that one!
-
They are around second hand P-S. Pick up a clean one for the fun of it. 8)
-
Checkmate (the mag company) can do a run of more than 100 so I will order the 114 that are requested so far once I collect payment. I will follow up with PhsychoSword to see if he wants black or if he just wants to buy the SS from the factory at $40 each.
I will also calculate best shipping options with I think will be USPS flat rate boxes and will PM each person who placed an order with payment info.
Once most of the money is collected I will place the order.
Thanks you everyone for your interest.

Ryan
I would like 3 of the black mags if still possible to get in on the group buy.
Thanks
-
I picked up several stainless mags last week..I don't need five black ones Ill just take two..Doesn't look like it will effect the order since were over 100 now..Im guessing you will post a paypal address?
-
This group buy still good and how do you want payment?
-
I will take 2 mags if I i can
-
Is this still open?
-
Update-
The contact I have been working with at Checkmate is back in the office and we played phone tag today. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to connect with him and will place the order. I have been hesitant to collect anyone's money yet until I can confirm the order with them. I am currently planning on ordering 130 mags which would allow everyone who posted to get what they asked for. I'll post another update tomorrow once I confirm the order with them and will bring to reach out to collect payments.
Thanks,
Ryan

-
Paypal sent..Thank you for all the leg work and for the thread feedback. 8)
-
Yes, I'd like the black mags if they are the same as the SS ones but just with black finish. I think that's what Rohrbaugh was selling...
-
Are they going to make some more mags springs as well? Extra followers would also be nice to havel.
-
Will mail check tomorrow. Thanks for doing this Ryan!
John
-
Ryan, I put my check in the mail today.
Thanks.......Richard
-
Please see first post for update 4/30/15
-
BlueC2, against thanks for doing this. I might grab some stainless finish mags from them as well after the group buy is done.
-
I got the update from Checkmate they hope to ship at the end of next week. Which means I will turn them around the week after that. Sorry for the delay I guess it has taken a while for them to get coated.
Ryan
-
Thanks Ryan,
I know this is work for you.
johnny,

Just in time for Father's Day. :)

Dah! I forgot about that message awhile back. Sorry!
I'll tell ya as I'm sure you know, there is nothing that comes close to the R9 as far as comfort goes.
This was a lot of work for you that on our end we didn't see.
Again, thanks so much
Johnny
-
Update,
I was expecting the mags last week and hope to have them early this week. I guess there were some quality control issues when the got them back from the coater that had to be reworked that caused the delay. I will let everyone know when I get them and when I will be shipping them out.
Thanks,
Ryan.
-
Ha, I wonder if the vendor coated them too thin. Maybe they all had to be re-coated. Hope to see them soon, but I'm in no hurry and thanks for the update!
-
Mags are in and will ship out this week
Ryan
-
Any ideas for the next group buy? Holsters? Ammo? Takedown tool? Display box?
-
Just curious if they shipped yet..should I have someone checking the porch for the mags yet?
-
Mags are shipping today from Charlottesville, VA via USPS Priority Mail.
-
I am sure it was a lot of work sorting and packaging all those mags.I remember my wife sorting boxes of Girl Scout cookies for our 3 girls 30 some odd years ago.Thanks Ryan.

Mags came in today...thank you for thinking of this buy for us, all the phone calls, updates on the forum, handling the money, and all the packaging and mailing. It is appreciated. Thanks again.
-
I received my magazines in the mail today too - thanks!
-
Guys, happy to facilitate the group buy - just sorry it took so long getting them from the vendor and when I did get them last week I was slammed with work commitments. Glad everyone is happy with the mags and if anyone has issues please let me know.
Ryan
-
Got 'em.
Thank you!
Now I just have to get 'em loaded up and test 'em out.
-
My 4 showed up today. Thank You for the opportunity to make this purchase. This is what the forum is about. People helping others with products and information on a great firearm. Thanks to the Rohrbaugh brothers whose dream became a reality and giving others a chance to share in that dream.
-
Got mine today. Thanks again, Ryan.
-
Got mine too!
Thanks again Ryan.
-
Got mine today, these look super nice! The spring is nice and strong. I'm really glad I ordered them and I'm very happy with the product received. It was cool that they were able to put the Rohrbaugh logo on the floorplates as well.
-
I received my mags safe and sound today.
A thousand thank you's Ryan! :)

Received my mags yesterday. Thanks for the order!

While this is not from the group buy there is the chance someone purchased some new stainless ones from checkmate and is trying to resell at a super premium.
At least no one can do it on a large scale since checkmate is in the loop.

Checkmate should place an ad on GunBroker selling the mags for what they sell them to us for, plus shipping. They would sell a lot of them, and cut off the scumbags selling them at stupid prices. JMO

My understanding is that checkmate does not plan to actually fabricate any more once they sell what is left. I bet they have less than 100 stainless mags in stock and that may be it forever so maybe it is best to take down the info and mag availability info can be given to those that ask on the forum via PM. Interested to hear peoples thoughts.

This is what I was thinking from the beginning of the scalper problem...

He actually got a buyer for the two mags I noticed, then they relisted. And the same buyer purchased another single mag from a different seller for $93 + $25 for priority mail shipping. ::) http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=488166358

If anyone has a couple of black magazines available I would love to buy them.
I own a R9 Stealth and think the black clips would look better than the stainless ones I have now.
