Don't rule out Rohrbaughs still being built in Pineville.

From an outsider looking in, that would not make much sense but not much about this move has I guess.

We are all outsiders, for sure.  Time will tell, and pretty quickly I think.

That would make sense, for them to stay in Pineville. What better place then a up and running production plant. The gun is hand fitted. Is not the Jaguar still built that way also? Just a fine weapon, as close to an art form as you can get.

Could we say cautiously optimistic?

Below is a recent, May 28th, article from the Christian Science Monitor on the current big picture of the gun industry in transition. I started reading this publication occasionally when I discovered that one of my Navy Attack Squadron mates is one of their editors. No mention of Rohrbaugh here but info on them must still be under wraps.

After going this long with out an announcement it is certainly looking like it is unclear even to The Freedom Group what is going to happen with Rohrbaugh.

Here is a faint ray of hope on a trademark filing for Rohrbaugh shirts, T shirts, sweatshirts, and hats by Para USA LLC.

Tracker, if I read this right, Para applied for the trademark in 2006 but it was abandoned May 30, 2014??  Strange.

It is difficult to interpret the meaning of this but Bruce Adams, the attorney for this filing, is a correspondent of Rohrbaugh Firearms. It's just a guess but this may just be the legal process where they cancel and reapply. I was happy to see any activity but one could read any number of things into this filing.

It's not clear to me what the website is saying.  It is a private vendor, not an official record.  However, Para had nothing to do with Rohrbaugh in 2006.

I called the NY attorney's office and the receptionist would only confirm that Rohrbaugh is a client of Bruce Adams. That really doesn't mean anything, though.

I'm surprised they would say that much.  I think that is their old attorney though from 2006.

She just let it slip and she mispronounced Rohrbaugh, which is not uncommon.

I am not optimistic about anything since no one here knows what is going on. I would think you would be the first in the loop.

I remember when Jerry Ahern took over Detonics. I was optimistic then, especially with no MIM parts being used in the new guns, despite the economic downturn at the time. We all know how that went, and it didn't have anything to do with his untimely death. I still have some of his emails back to me in my inbox from 2006. He was on top of things.

I'm far less optimistic about this dealing. Despite the continued high demand for CCW guns the market is glutted with AR's, sporting rifles and huge handguns that nobody wants.
