Good afternoon, falken.
I apologize for reviving a thread that has been dormant for better than two months. I came across your question while Googling any updates regarding the Atrax. I am very interested in the rifle, and have sent queries to Lithgow, Lithgow's Director of Business Development Joshua Whi, and even submitted my contact information for a pre-order via http://www.lithgowarms.com/f90/
The only response I have received thus far was from Mr. Whi, who strikes me as a gentleman. This is what I have been told by Josh:
1) The initial import run is to hit the United States market in September this year, but a definite number has not been decided.
2) MSRP is to be $1999. Personally, I'm very anxious to know if pre-orders will garner anything additional, i.e. rebate, extra magazines, or accessories. Doubt it, but, hey, anything is possible
On the surface, the price seems a bit high, but I think it's competitive with the AUG (my personal favorite 'pup) and the Tavor when one looks at what he or she is receiving for the price. Granted, the loss of the AUG's quick barrel change is a shame, but not a deal breaker for me. Provided the Atrax does well, others like myself, hope to see conversion kits for .300 Blackout or, my favorite fantasy, 6.5 Grendel with 20" or 24" barrels.
I apologize again for bringing up an old thread, and I'm sorry for the long post.
Take care, all, and have a great weekend!
Aaron
