Battle Arms Development WORHORSE017 Workhorse 223 Wylde 16" 30+1 Black 6 Position B5 Bravo Adjustable Stock Black Polymer Grip Right Hand Optic Ready

The Battle Arms Development Workhorse 223 Wylde 16" 30+1 semi-automatic rifle is purpose-built for tactical operators, law enforcement professionals, and responsible civilian shooters who demand a duty-grade platform with minimal compromise. Chambered in 223 Wylde—a superior alternative to 5.56 NATO for precision and 223 Remington compatibility—this rifle delivers the versatility required for training, patrol, and defensive scenarios. At 12.28 lbs, it maintains the balance and handling characteristics essential for extended operations without sacrificing structural integrity or ergonomic control.

The 16-inch barrel length provides the optimal velocity-to-maneuverability ratio, making this rifle effective in both open and confined spaces while maintaining sub-MOA accuracy potential with quality ammunition. The 223 Wylde chamber's tighter throat geometry improves consistency compared to loose 5.56 NATO tolerances, enhancing shot grouping and reducing velocity variance—critical for precision work. Key features include a B5 Bravo adjustable six-position stock for rapid length-of-pull adjustments across varying gear configurations, a black polymer pistol grip engineered for positive control, and a 30+1 capacity magazine system compatible with standard AR-platform magazines. The optic-ready receiver rail system accommodates modern tactical optics without requiring gunsmith intervention, and the right-hand bolt release configuration supports dominant-hand operation for tactical efficiency.

This rifle excels for law enforcement duty use, military training, 3-gun competition, and home defense applications where reliability and accuracy are non-negotiable. The 223 Wylde chamber makes it ideal for shooters who want maximum flexibility—compatible with both commercial 223 Remington loads (often less expensive and easier to source) and military 5.56 NATO specification ammunition. Installation of optics, lights, and other modular accessories is straightforward thanks to the optic-ready design; most tactical configurations require only standard mounting hardware and no permanent modifications. For operators familiar with AR-pattern ergonomics, the Workhorse integrates seamlessly into existing ammunition inventory, training protocols, and accessory ecosystems.
