Lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum M-LOK handguard with integrated Picatinny rail. Free-floating design reduces weight through skeletonized construction while maintaining full modularity for AR-15 and AR-10 platforms.
The Workhorse represents a thoughtful approach to modern rifle ergonomics—delivering genuine utility without unnecessary bulk. This handguard was engineered for shooters who understand that every ounce matters, particularly on carbines that see regular use.
Battle Arms Development stripped away excess material while preserving function. The result is a slim-profile handguard that doesn't compromise on capability. The free-floating design isolates the barrel from the handguard, promoting consistent accuracy by eliminating contact that can shift point of impact.
This handguard excels on working rifles—whether for sport shooting, training, or duty use. The M-LOK system provides ample mounting points for lights, lasers, and vertical grips without the weight penalty of older rail designs. The Picatinny top rail accommodates optics or backup sights, giving you a complete mounting solution.
The Workhorse philosophy is straightforward: everything you need, nothing you don't.
