So many "tweaks" so little funds.... :-\ (For me anyway),....Heck, I am actually liking my BUIS/ iron sights, better than my leetle red dot/combo....It was purpose built for lightweight, low maint. low recoil, close quarter SD,(zombies), not really the head shot at 250 yds.

I've got something different and more effective for that... ::)

Nice Magpul stock BTW.

 As much as I was reluctant about AR's in the past, they have earned their place as a reliable, simple, effective carbine with many parameters of function, that can be customized to a specific purpose, and a true asset if called upon.









Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

very nice piece of hardware!!!  i have the sig 516 and love the piston system.  one thing i want to make sure for you though.  that gas block gets REALLY HOT quickly due to the gasses comming out there instead of your bolt carrier and you want to make sure that your front sight can take the heat.  i have magpul buis on mine and had to make sure to put it a couple of slots back from the gas block to make sure not to melt it.  have fun with it  ;D

In my case, its so many projects, so little funds.  I have about 5 projects going right now.  Getting close on a couple.

Thanks man.  The Ruger comes with Troy battle sights.  They shouldn't have any problem standing up to the heat.
