Very true to a degree.
I used to work for a sponsored GM; you all probably know him.
When he needed a 9mm pistol, he would just head down to his department's armory and check out a left over Glock 17 (dept had switched to G22s by then). Literally. He actually preferred the 17 over the 34. And the gun was as-issued (he might have had them install a Glock 3.5 - but that was it).
Another example: when Todd Jarret was shooting for ParaOrd and they were in Canada, he shot Para's strange folding-stock AR based 556 rifle; no one else shot that thing (has been discontinued).
But of course Todd won with it.
OP: most ARs will shoot sub MOA when free floated. Just get a decent 1-6x or 1-8x, and mount it in something solid like an Aero Precision mount (you do NOT need a QD for 3 gun).
Don't over-think it. Showing up to shoots & pulling the trigger on the clock is what matters most.
Same goes with brakes: even the inexpensive Miculek brake will get you in the game. Just get yourself in the game.
