The serial number was a function of what frames were available in that finish.  I don't think there are a lot of carbon fiber grips still laying around -- at least that the factory is willing to part with.

The R5000 is still going to be available at some point -- but I have no idea how that will find a new home.  Lots of ideas are being discussed.

This wasn't designed to be the ultimate Rohrbaugh collectable -- just a really cool piece of Rohrbaugh design for a charitable cause.

Thanks again Duane for your time on this,it has been fun..

I am sure that the charity will gain greatly with the auction of this Pup..That I believe is/was the whole reason for this being brought forward anyways..

The Pup being offered is interesting,but does not really yank too many of our die hard forum members chains-expectations were running a might high..

I have to admit,it doesn't yank me too hard either,but I am partial to the early Pups,albeit the "one of a kind status"..

It will be interesting to see how this all works out..

I'm sure most everyone including myself could live without most of what we have, but we wouldn't live as happily.  ;D
  In my mind it comes down to if you really want something and can afford it, then get it.

Now that seems like the thing to do, too!    :)

Brenden,
    Those are my exact sentiments on the whole thing.
Also I am not as attracted to the black slide and frame models, especially with Deer Park on them.

Well, my wife may be bidding on it.  I just showed her the pics and she loves the "paper towel print" on the grips. lol

Truth be known, I would love to have those grips but not at the price I think the gun will auction for.   SO, if one of you guys wants to buy that gun and sell me the grips..........  :o

Your offer on the grips determines my "maximum bid"... ;D

  Well at least if there are ever thoughts of doing another event of this type, there is a lot of info posted here as to what would be a very popular and desirable item to offer up. ;D

With the serial # 4416, maybe they should have started the auction on April 4 2016  ;D

Just think, in that amount of time at the same average number of posts per day, we would have around 47,000 posts. :o ;D
