Verdict
Tommy Built Tactical is an American small-batch firearms manufacturer specializing in semi-automatic clones of HK roller-delayed and short-stroke gas piston designs. The TG36 is their HK G36 clone (the original HK G36 is in Batch 4). The platform reached the Canadian market in small quantities through 2017–2024 as a more affordable alternative to the original HK rifles. SOR/2024-248 named the TG36 on December 5, 2024 alongside the original G36 family and the broader HK civilian catalogue. The HK-clone market segment on the Canadian market closed at the same time as HK's own catalogue closed. Tommy Built's other clone products (the various HK-variant builds) are similarly prohibited under the broader HK-pattern designations in SOR/2024-248. The clone-market segment that existed to provide HK-quality semi-autos at lower price points is functionally closed.
