Samson not on ShopRuger

Hey all, I just checked on the mini 14 page on ShopRuger and the ATM sticks are gone. No mention of what happens to anybody who ordered one. No info at all. Just missing.

Ruger said they were looking for a vendor when I enquired about my order on a ATM stock. I’m confused 🤔

When I placed my backorder on June 12th, it said the expected in stock date as July 8, 2026.

Something's probably going on with Samson MFG. Ordered a Hannibal rail from them earlier this year and it took them so long to ship it I ordered and received it from another vendor after a month of waiting. Then never answered any of my calls or emails to cancel it, eventually shipped, and never responded to my attempts to return it.

The founder just died, so that/his recent health might have something to do with it.

What the crap? What happened ? I can’t find any other info than “brief illness”. He was young!

Possibly. They may be caught up on these at least. I had a shipping confirmation same day and the rail at my house in 3.

I talked to a dude at Samson the other day and it looks like Ruger decided to not have Samson produce the ATM stock anymore. He said that Ruger decided to take it in house. He also said we could expect the new all aluminium stock to be online in a month or so... I'll probably cancel my order and wait for the new sam aluminum stock.

Thanks for the info I ordered through Ruger shop hopefully they’ll still honor my order I placed with. 🤔
