Same issue.  I'm trying to get in contact with them for 10 days or so.  No response to my emails and phone message simply says "we are closed while moving the company"

I first called last week when I didn't hear back on my emails.

Very Frustrating.

I don't know.  I'm not feeling the Rohrbaugh Love.

FFL lists the same address so they haven't updated federal records yet.

As you read this please imagine a calm and placid voice stating it's opinions and not an angry rant. I think that will help this to NOT be offensive 

I have been voicing this issue on my post "I want to love my Rhorbaugh... BUT" and I haven't heard any encouraging news from any of the "devout Rohrbaugh extreme active movers & shakers" (D.R.E.A.M.S.)   :)

A little frustrating indead.

I want to be part of the D.R.E.A.M. team, but as for now I am happy to have gotten only 2 out of 50 rounds to FTE yesterday through my R9 and still haven't heard back from Maria or Eric or the janitor to let me know anything.

I highly doubt that a company with this kind of following is going down (could check to see if they have filed chapter 11 or 13), but to just abandon your phones for weeks and not return emails in this day of technology and affordable help I consider irresponsible frankly. It's not the way they would want to be treated, guaranteed.

So before the moderator of this post removes this legitimate concern being voiced from the digital format in which it now appears, please (for the GOOD of Rohrbaugh's future and improved communications) leave these posts up. Perhaps it will propoate a positive change in the future  :)

One step ahead, though not a senior member here, I did reach out to him last night to see if maybe he had some info or insight on the matter at hand.

I think we are at at least 3 members (redcars, bobsmith, and JoshA) who have not been able to make contact with anyone there in recent weeks. 

Just last week I encouraged a new local owner of a pup to reach out to the factory to order some parts and accessories that he was seeking.  Their great and responsive customer service has always been a point of pride (and reassurance) for me as a Rohrbaugh owner.

Hopefully we can get some answers soon for everyone...

Holy Smoke, I leave for a few days and the place goes crazy!   ;)

Rohrbaugh Firearms is NOT out of business.  In fact, they are taking a very exciting step by moving to a bigger and better facility in Charlotte, North Carolina.

More details here:  [url]http://www.rohrbaughforum.com/index.php?topic=7303.0/url]

And, FYI, I rarely delete threads about anything, unless they contain personal attacks. 

Keep in mind this is a very small company, and they have their hands full.  They will return calls and get back to everyone as soon as possible.  There is not too much they can do for anyone until they get the business relocated.

Awesome info. Thanks DDGator. Really appreciate the info. I personally didn't think they were going down. Too many R lovers on here happy happy with their pups.

As for the comment about deleting the post... That was the foolish mistake of a newbie (me). I'm sorry about that.

I simply see all of this totally upbeat talk and assumed someone MAY be tampering with any negative talk since my experience hasn't been the best with my R9 and I was getting no response from the factory via phone or email and there was no explanation on their website.  Very unusual for a group of gun guys (or any group of guys for that matter) I must say!!! Very impressive (truly), and my hat is off to this unusual (in a good way) group of guys.

That's exciting stuff about the move to NC!

Congrats Rohrbaugh!

Not a problem, Josh.  The R-brothers are my friends (met them AFTER starting this site), but this site is for Rohrbaugh enthusiasts.   All the warts are here for anyone to see -- which I think is a real testament to how good these guns really are.  No whitewashing here.

I have banned maybe two people who were not spammers over the years because they were just here to cause trouble.  Even then I didn't delete their comments unless they were personally attacking forum members. 

You will see that this forum is not like many (or any?) others on the 'net.  Not because of me -- just because of the type of people who really love Rohrbaugh Firearms and their commitment to these guns.
