with CF grips you can probably get $1200....just a thought....they seem to be a premium....just ask me i am the pigeon that paid $300 for a set of black one recently....i guess i raised the bar....but hey you just don't find them every day
Beware the man with a well worn gun....he likely knows how to use it.

If I can get $1200, it's gone.

What's funny about this string is that we true believers are usually upholding the pursuit of the R9. However, a $650 gun, of this pedigree, is tempting to sell, given the profit incentive.

This is unprecedented, no?

As far as I know, Ron's deal may be the best one yet reported for an early R9 with CF grips.

There are few things easier in life than giving unsolicited advice to another man on how to spend and manage his money. However, I suppose that if enough profit could be realized, it might be worth selling "R8xx" and then using the funds to order an individualized model from the factory.

That, of course, is from a "true believer" who considers his "Farmingdale" R9 No. 132 (no "R" prefix) to be his most prized firearm.   8)

Definitely.  And still tempting at $1200.

Don't beat yourself up.  I considered it.  Pondered it.  Thought about it.  Then they were gone.  My want factor didn't kick in soon enough.

Then it's official; $650 for an early gun with CF grips is best deal recorded on this forum. Only thing better would be a one tone Farmingdale gun which is the holy grail of Rohrbaugh.

It certainly is the best deal I've heard about anywhere.
