Hi I have been every square cm on the frame & also cleaned the bottom where the number should be & there is definitely 100% no frame number the chap I got it from told me there’s no number & he was told when he got it that it might be a proto type & I also scratched a tiny bit of red paint off top tube & there’s no yellow & it has the original decals & everything on it so I don’t know what to do other than to take it to a giant retailer
There are upgrades & modifications to it prior to me owning the bike

hm, are you sure about the year 1996?
To me this rather looks like 98-99-ish Giant,
like this one https://www.vitalmtb.com/community/DrChaos,31673/setup,26600
the Fox suspension fork and damper are rather optimized for XC and from 2002 or younger, also if IS disc mounts are used it's not before 2002.

Looks like a parts bin bitsa build on a decent frame.
If its this Toby Bush then he's a junior with a bit of track and cross. He'd have been minus eight years old or so when the ATX was made. Better than me at what he does, but very low provenance.
