I'm in the military and have shot several "As Issued" combat matches...I've began building a rifle to shoot in the service rifle category but have a question on legalities...

I recently purchased a RRA varmint upper with the stainless Wilson Bull. It has the metal free float tube on it. Reading the CMP rules, it states "A standard handguard or tube without an accessory rail must be used".

Does this mean it is legal? I orginally thought I would have to put on DCM free float handguards.

BTW...the reason I bought the RRA Varmint upper vs the NM was the wait from RRA. Found this one on hand locally.

Any input/advice is appreciated!
