*Very* early R9 for sale.
« on: August 20, 2015, 03:22:05 PM »
Hi folks.

I've just listed my R9 for sale at Gunbroker. It's one of the very early ones - serial #R227 - and is in excellent condition. Lots of extra goodies to go with it too. There's a link in the listing for both my Guns.com review of the gun as well as some additional info and images in a blog post on the BBTI blog.

It's a great little gun, but I realized that I hadn't shot it in years and all it is doing is sitting in my safe. That's just not right. It deserves to go to a better home.

Cheers!

Jim Downey

EDITED TO ADD: Sale concluded happily, and this nice little gun has found a new home. Thanks, everyone!

Good luck on your sale! There may be a collector that needs this to fill a spot in his safe. Not sure if $2K is a fair price or not, will be ggod to watch.

Thanks - I'd be very surprised if anyone jumps on the "Buy now" price - but the reserve price is under what other R9s have gone for here recently.

Cheers!

Good luck on the sale seven! Looks nice.

Ah ha. . . . . A "real" R9 . . . . . No sights. . . . Just like Karl designed it! Good Luck with your sale!
