Done with the modding & happy with it now

These are the things I changed/added.
Magpul CTR
ACE folder
Magpul MOE grip (not a fun mod)
Midwest Industries BUIS front & back
KNS hooded duplex front sight
KNS push button pivot pin
Griffin charging handle
Leupold Mark 4 1.5x - 5x Illuminated SPR
LaRue LT-104
551 style handguards
cheap single point sling attachment point
Vortex flash hider

Really happy with it now. I like this scope & mount.

Your rifle looks great, one question though =
Is the photo of the sight picture, at what power?

Very nice. I ordered my LT-104 and MI SIG556 today. I hope to have the scope in by the time they arrive. After seeing these pics I'm looking forward to getting it setup.

Thanks...

That picture is at 1.5x.

Other people have said that it can be used with both eyes open at 1.5x... I would agree. It's only slightly magnified. Very close to a red dot.

One other thing... the clarity is incredible. I have a Leupold VX-II 3-9x40mm & this Mark 4 is really that much better.

You defiantly get what you pay for.

Very nice but I guess I'll have to be the guy that says, if you're not firing, put it on safe.

Looks like you got it set up pretty nice.

How is the cheek weld with the height of the scope mount. Any discomfort? Have you considered adding a cheek piece to the stock?

I have that same scope and mount set-up on my 556 and really like it. I think it is a great combination to give you close quarters and longer range capability.

Am I the only one who noticed the front flip cover is on upside down?

KB-

I run my front covers the same way...It seems to block less view..and catch on stuff less at work... But thats just me. I haven't found any ill effects of doing it that way so far...

Don't have any range time with the new setup yet. But I've adjusted the ACE folder has high as it will go. If you look closely you can see that the stock tube is higher than where it connects to the receiver . I have thought about a 1/4 in riser for the CTR, but it's seems to line up correctly for now. Feels comfortable & natural too me.
