Misc Is Black Creek Labs still making commercial firearms?

Was hoping to get my hands on a Bison in 5.56 this year, but it seems like everywhere is sold out, and the BCL site is down (for me at least). Anyone have any info on this?

I’ve got an MRX Bronco Howitzer .223 wylde and I feel pretty darn privileged and lucky to have scored one, new retail, in 2026. Don’t care what anyone else thinks , I’ve put a couple hundred rounds through mine and it’s been flawless. Made in Canada. Beautiful!

How the heck did you find one? I've been looking everywhere for months :(

I was basically just googling every day until I saw one pop up. Same with Ruger X-22. The moment I saw one for sale I got in my car and drove fast 😂. The CZ Trail is the closest thing that I can think of to one of these that’s easier to find (but can’t fold down to 20”!). Alternately you could settle for a longer barrel BCL. Out of all my stuff this is the one my American friends think is the coolest one 😎

That is really solid! I’m not a particularly good shooter, so it does everything I need it to (look real cool, function, hit paper.) 😆 I feel like people sleep on these. When I’m in the gun shops and I see one I think “dang that looks so great.” I’ve got a friend in the states with a big collection and access to so much, and he thinks the little MRX is cool and I just beam with pride hehe
