I don't think accuracy is effected with either. A2 refering to a fixed carry handle. A3 refering to the civilian flattop config (kinda like mine
 ):

A3 configuration ARMS back up sight Optic of choice If you don't want an optic just use the ARMS till you decide you do. |

Welcome to the board!
If you're serious about buying or building an AR15, start in the technical forums, everything you need to know will be found in there without the smart ass answers you'll find in General Discussion. Not that I have anything against smart asses.

RPM: The A2 and A3 configuration has nothing to with the accuracy, but the ease of mounting optics and accesories.
Welcome!

Within the Army, the A2 is a burst weapon and the A3 is full auto, but with the A2 barrel, sights and stock.
The A4 has removable carry handle. Considering the great selection of optics, I would opt for the A3/A4 option unless you want to shoot Iron Sights only. |

A4 is the flat top.
A3 is full auto vs A2 burst |

The A3 does not have a removable carry handle. It is simply an A2 but with full instead of burst.
According to Army FM 3-22.9 |

They must have changed things since 01. Back then, the A1 and A2s had fixed carrying handles while the A3 and A4s had removeable handles (other differences being the FA or burst settings). |
