I am in the process of gathering parts for my first build.

While I like the idea of the A2's carry handle, my eyes would perhaps be better served by a flat-top.
However, does the option of a detachable carry handle not offer the best of both worlds?
I'm leaning toward the A2 because I would perhaps like to re-enter the Service Rifle competitions, but opinions/advice are appreciated!
Thanks!

Service rifle events are open to A4 rifles as they are issue weapons.

Flat top has so many more options than the fixed carry handle.

Really prefer the removable carry handle...  I have a Bushmaster that I use in CMP matches w/ the removable and just built an m4gery (flat top).  

I guess its a personal thing, but i prefer the option to remove the cary handle and place optics if I choose...

So, I suppose, it's all about aesthetics and personal preference......

I can never decide, I like the simplicity of the A1, the adjustability of the A2, but I love my EOTech.  I think you need at least one of each...

Actually, this will be my second AR, although I don't own one currently. I had a early A1, bird cage flash, no foward assist. Great rifle.
