The Battle Arms Development Workhorse in .223 Wylde (MPN WORHORSE017) pairs a 16-inch barrel with an optic-ready receiver, giving shooters a full-length AR-15 that cycles both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO. Battle Arms Development cuts a 1:7-inch rate of twist and runs a manual thumb safety. The rifle feeds from a detachable 30-round magazine. Among modern sporting rifles in the AR rifles category, the Workhorse favors shooters who want a full-length, optic-ready .223 Wylde AR-15 rather than the shorter-handguard LT variant.
