Battle Arms Development WORKHORSE 017-CA Workhorse *CA Compliant 223 Wylde 16" 10+1 Black Anodized Black 6 Position B5 Bravo Adjustable Stock Black Polymer Grip Right Hand

The Battle Arms Development WORKHORSE 017-CA Workhorse CA Compliant 223 Wylde 16-inch 10+1 rifle is purpose-built for duty and hard use. Constructed around a forged BAD-15 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum receiver, this carbine delivers the structural integrity and accuracy demanded by operators who rely on their equipment in high-stress environments. The 4150 chrome-moly steel black nitride barrel provides both durability and consistent accuracy downrange, while the free-float rail handguard ensures predictable zero retention across extended use cycles.

The 223 Wylde chamber accepts both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition, giving shooters flexibility in load selection without compromising velocity or accuracy. The M-LOK attachment points at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, combined with a full-length Picatinny rail at 12 o'clock featuring BAD's signature notch cut, allow modular mounting of optics, lights, and other mission-critical accessories. The B5 Bravo adjustable stock and polymer grip provide ergonomic control and repeatability from shooter to shooter, while the 10+1 capacity meets California's current compliance requirements.

This platform serves law enforcement trainers, military support personnel, competitive shooters, and serious civilian operators who need a battle-proven carbine that performs reliably across extended training courses and dynamic scenarios. The Workhorse series reputation for durability under duty use makes it particularly suited for agencies and individuals requiring a platform that maintains zero integrity and functionality through thousands of rounds without compromise.

At 12.8 pounds and 37.5 inches overall length, the rifle balances maneuverability with sight radius and handling. The California-compliant configuration reflects careful engineering to meet state regulatory requirements while preserving the core Workhorse reliability that has made this series a fixture in professional duty arsenals.
