I have decided to sell my R9.
I bought it new in 2010.I have fired,I am guessing,less than 200 rounds thru it.It has no issues and I have taken very good care of it.
Included are 3 good holsters,9 mags,VZ Grips,extra springs,pins,and bushings I think they are called.I wanted to get some accessories before they were not available anymore. I also have the box it came in,the 2 booklets,and original sales receipt.
I am selling it through an FFL.here in town.It is:
Northwoods archery and Guns
105 Airport Road
Shawano,Wi.
54166 (715-5248773)
If interested you can call or text me if you any questions.My cell is 7153047565.
Wisconsin deer hunting starts this Saturday,therefore I may be hard to get a hold of.

Forum rules generally require a price for anything you want to sell.
-
I failed to do that.
$1600.00

That is one of the newer models we made. Should be interesting to see the photographs. I'll chime in if anything comes to mind about this particular pistol. Having assembled most of them myself, so I have a pretty good idea. ;-)

Eric,
The serial number is 5201,if that tells you anything.
I am selling that, a Knighthawk T3,and a Glock27.I am keeping my Ed Brown Lightweight Kobra,which has my military id.stamped as the serial number.I think it was like $20 more.
If the Rohrbaugh doesn't move,I don't really care.I hemmed and hawed off and on for a long time debating putting it up for sale.
My Glock,and the Knighthawk I would like to get rid of.I have been going the revolver path lately.Our interests change.

Ah haa. . . . Interesting thing about revolvers. . . . My brother Karl and I both have been using revolvers the past few years now. . . . But I believe it's because we hate picking up the brass! lol.
Ref. 5200 serial numbers. . . . they were standard Rohrbaugh fair by that time. . . . . just chugging along by then. ;-)

My R9 is still available.
If interested you can respond thru the forum and I will give you my number and would try to send some pictures of everything.

Most of us already have 3 holsters, extra mags, etc. Makes this a little pricey....might try separate sales?

Thanks for being up front backupr9,
I was kind of wondering what was going on here.I guess if I want it to move I will have to come up with a better price.
I never made a penny on a gun in my life.My wife doesn't know that.She always was wondering why I felt I always needed a new gun."They are good investments Honey." "like jewelry."
Thanks again.What a nice forum.

Just wondering what military ID are you referring to? They used to use our socials on I.D. cards and just recently it's a DOD I.D. number.
-
Back when I went in the Army,1966,you were given a military id.If you enlisted,it began with the letters RA,followed by 8 numerical digits.
The RA stood for Regular Army.3 year commitment.If you were drafted,your id began with US,followed by a set of numbers.The US stood for United States Army.2 year commitment.
When I had my military id put on my ED Brown,they were only able to fit the 8 numbers on there.
-
Actually,now that I think of it,it may not have been lack of room on the frame,but for what ever reason,Travis,the guy who took the order said they would not be able to put the prefix on the gun.I assumed it was lack of space,but maybe some regulation was a factor.
Eric would know.Eric?
-
It could just be their stamping equipment can only handle so many characters.
-
I would go with what MRC suggested. There is no reason you can not have a prefix as part of the serial number on your firearm. Lack of having that available at that shop may have been a factor in this particular case.

In '69 it was our SS number. The U.S. Army gave me an old 1911 .45 that rattled when you shook it. I kept cigarettes and extra socks in the holster when not at risk. Good luck with your sale. I still carry my R9 Covert as my EDC, alternating here in north Florida with a .32 Seecamp when weather/clothing requires a smaller weapon. With all of our recent news stories I'm beginning to think I should carry a high cap Glock or my H&K .40 and just wear a trench coat in 85 degree weather.

backupr9,
Thanks for the "good luck" and the previous info.
If it doesn't sell for awhile I am ok with that.I'm in no hurry.As time goes on I don't really see the price value going down.It's a great comfortable gun to carry.
I try to get out to our range once or twice a week to shoot.Pretty much have the whole range to myself these days.No one else seems to be dumb enough like me to go out in this bitter cold weather up here in northern Wisconsin to shoot.
At 7 yards I'm right on with the 1911,and pretty right on with the Glock43,My Ruger 9mm revolver not so much.I go out to 25 yards for the hell of it and I shoot terribly with the Glock,but the 1911 I still make holes in the pie.
By then my hands are pretty cold But it's all good practice.And there isn't the pressure like shooting IDPA in the summer.And what I have heard from a friend there are some changes coming to make the scoring a little more old person friendly.Well see.
