I have been checking several times a day using search engines for an Alpha Foxtrot Attila but haven’t been seeing any. I’d been told that the gun wouldn’t be released to the public until end of April. It is currently April 3rd.
I checked gun.deals today and saw that Guns.com had one! Initially, I didn’t see it and closed the browser tab, but did a mental check – “did I just see what I think I did” and double-checked by going back to the page. Yep! I wasn’t hallucinating.
I quickly bought it. Now, I’ve bought guns in the past, only to find that the store didn’t actually have the gun in stock…we’ll see if I’ve been lured into a waiting game. (Not that I wasn’t already waiting, right??)
I also checked after I bought it, to see if the product would show it as OOS (out of stock). It’s not showing as OOS, so maybe they’ve several. Or, maybe they’re making a list. Dunno.
For those of you that don’t use gun.deals, you can set up watch lists to watch for certain UPCs. That’s what I did.
Even if I’ve to wait til the end of April, at least I’ve bought one.
As well, I guess this means I should buy a bunch of G48 mags now, especially since they upped the round capacity for those mags.
This is my third of four guns. I just need to get the Ruger Mark IV now, and I’ll probably buy that from my range’s store.
UPDATE (4/3/2026): And….it shipped. It’s not even 5 PM yet. It arrives sometime Tuesday.
UPDATE (4/7/2026): The gun was delivered around 10 AM this morning. I was hoping that would be early enough for the FFL to process it and contact me today, but nope. I hear they’ve been extremely busy, with folks trying to buy before the bans hit in July. That means business is good for them. They should call tomorrow – with the other two guns, I had to wait a day and a half before they contacted me, so I expect it will play out the same with this particular gun.
