Verdict
Black Creek Labs is a Canadian firearms manufacturer that announced the SRV2 Badger at TACCOM 2024 in Toronto alongside its Grizzly .308 sibling. The rifle is an original Canadian design — not a clone of an American platform — using a forward captured dual-spring two-piece short-stroke gas system, accepting AR-15 magazines for ergonomic familiarity but built around different mechanical principles. The SRV2 Siberian, the .223 Wylde variant, reached the Canadian market in mid-2024. The SRV2 Badger followed later that year. SOR/2024-248 named both on December 5, 2024 — within twelve months of the platform's debut. The entry sits in the Canadian-manufacturer postmortem cluster: a domestic engineering project, brought to market in Canada for Canadian shooters, prohibited by Order in Council before the production run hit its second year. The pattern repeats across this batch.
