Battle Arms Development Workhorse 9.5" M-LOK Handguard

Battle Arms Development Workhorse Handguard

The Workhorse represents a thoughtful approach to handguard design—lightweight, functional, and built without unnecessary complexity.

Design Philosophy

This M-LOK compatible rail system delivers a slimline profile suited to modern carbines. Battle Arms Development engineered it to shed weight where it matters while maintaining the strength and utility shooters demand. The result is a handguard that offers everything you need and nothing you don't.

Key Features

• M-LOK mounting points at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions for flexible accessory placement
• Full-length Picatinny rail at 12 o'clock (top) for optics and iron sights
• Notch-cut design matches upper receiver profile and reduces weight further
• Skeletonized construction in non-M-LOK areas minimizes unnecessary material
• Free-float design isolates the barrel from the handguard for improved accuracy
• 1.36-inch inside diameter accommodates standard AR-15 barrels
• 9.5-inch length suits mid-length and carbine-length builds
• Mil-Spec compatible fits all standard AR-15 upper receivers
• Black hardcoat anodize finish for durability and corrosion resistance

Practical Application

Whether you're building a precision rifle, a tactical carbine, or a general-purpose AR, the Workhorse adapts to your needs. The multiple mounting options let you configure your setup exactly as you want it, while the lightweight design keeps your rifle nimble and responsive.
