I'm looking at building an AR-15 to my own tastes, and would like to know what the rules are for the variety of shooting competitions out there.

Is a detachable carry handle yay or nay?
What about stainless barrels? Or free float barrels, with or without special systems that use standard handguards?
Barrel length/weight?
Adjustable gas systems?
Stainless lower receivers?
Scopes?

I'm sure there's a variety, and I'd like to know about them all.

I think most ar-15 rifles are used for "service" or a base for "match" rifle competitions.
I have a Rock River Arms-DCM,that I shoot service rifle with.
Service rifles must outwardly appear as the military version(no detachable handle) and the "match"you can do just about what you want to the rifle.

Welp, there goes the 24" barrel if I wanted to do service competition. Thanks for the links and info!

Could anyone tell me which of these three concepts for a custom AR would be legal in competition?

There are probably other types of matches out ther but for NRA HIGHPOWER...
If number 2 is A-2 with 20in bbl....CMP "SERVICE RIFLE" Number one could be used for "MATCH RIFLE"
Number 3,"MATCH".But being a short bbl,I don't think I would shoot anything but the 100yd reduced matches with it.
Any info on ARs you want...www.ar15.com

Yes, #2 is A2 with 20in barrel. I was hoping it would be able to serve in all competitions. I knew #1 wouldn't work for service rifle, and if I'm correct, #3 wouldn't either. So I guess #2 is the only option for service rifle, correct? And having the two-tone setup of Stainless Barrel and Stainless Lower would be ok?
Thanks for all the help!

You can shoot the A2-20in. in "match" if you wanted to.
No matter which rifle you choose,eventually you will want to float the bbl and put a comp. trigger in.
For about $600.00 you can get a Rock River Arms DCM upper and another $100.00 for their Natioal Match trigger and you will well on your way for some good shooting.
Don't know about the stainless in "service" rifle comp.
