As long as Robar does aftermarket NP3 plus coatings on R9s, I don't think a discontinued Robar edition R9 is going to fetch much more unless someone is a collector. Now if the Robar edition had special CF grips I would say the price would increase ;D

Hard to say; there are many different facets of "collectible" on the pups. To me none of them is particularly collectible as an investment but people will always chase what is scarce or what they missed out on or what they don't have. I bought them as a PDW and that is where it will stay.

Yes Sir, I installed crappy old G-10s for the trip. ;D

You know, I was wondering about that.  What should I do when sending an R9,  if I decided to send it to Robar?  Now I know.  Thanks, there, John.

I'm still suprised that Rohrbaugh would drop the Robar edition. I guess the soft economy has hurt sales particularly on the premium models. Any how, I like to think that the Robar will be the most desired model for those wanting to step up from the base models.

I'll start it off:

Robar edition for sale $5000 Firm  ;D

I guess when purchasing any item that has been discontinued, especially after it had not had a long production history, such as for many years, etc. one of the first things I would want to know is - Why is it being discontinued? Especially such a gun with a finish that is so highly touted by many of us out there?

Any definite answers to this?

Could it be planned obsolescence? I doubt it but there is a trail of discontinued but otherwise excellent R9s that raise the question. The only explanation is the economy's effect on the high enders but that just seems to fuel the demand even more when the production stops on a particular model.

If I may ask, how much did it cost for the finish and how long did it take?

Bowhunter,
   It took 6 weeks exactly for mine but I don't know what there wait time is now. The cost with shipping was around $350, besides the NP3 I had them mill sight dots in (one in the front sight & one between the rear sights.
