I don't think there is any reason per se.  It was time consuming to deal with at the factory.  It was always intended to be a limited production piece.  They like to do that every once in a while so they can sell more guns to people who already have a few Rohrbaughs but have room for just one more...   ;D

Thanks, Duane; the best explanation I've heard to date.

What I know is that I own a Robar R9 and I am grateful to have it. There was a guy who PM'd me trying to buy it. What I didn't realize was that factory had discontinued the Robar model and I refered him to Tom Watson who, in my view, is the very best source for purchase of all things Rohrbaugh.

I have to admit that the guy's attempt to buy my Robar R9 pumped my enthusiasm for the gun which was already healthy.

Yep.  That is good to know!  I would have thought there would have been more.

WOW. This is entirely too cool! Is this R9 for real? Do you actually have a class III license and does it shoot?

Pete.  Your Special Edition Robar deserves a double or even a triple WOW if it's for real; amazing!

lol a little top heavy too, isn't it?  Where did you find the threaded barrel?  I haven't had to deal with the atf in a while.  Might be time for another stamp, if that isn't too difficult to aquire the barrel.

I was just stirring things up a little.
It is a real Robar R9
and it is a real AAC Ti-Rant, but they don't go together.  I use the Ti-Rant with a Sig 226 or Glock 19
I laid them both together for the picture.
I would get a threaded barrel for the R9 if they existed just for fun though. 8)

It was still a cool picture and you are closer to Class III than I will ever be
