nice!
but your front sight is on backwards. I can't tell if the rear is. but it should be as far back as you can put it,

Yep your front sight is on backwards, it should be placed as far forward as possible, the rear looks like it is on the right direction but should be moved back as far as possible. Flip up sights should flip forward.

Too much shit on it.
The AFG (if you even need one) is almost negated by the sight/light clutter.
The the BAD lever...why monkey with that on a 1st rifle ? (they can cause issues)

Well, a lot of shit...not sure how to take that.  Ok, I send this out explaining things.  
1.  I didn't notice the front sight, so I'll change it.  
2.  I didn't put in the original entry that I have to shoot left handed so the bolt catch, safety selector, and magazine release are all ambi.  I wanted it to be set up for either handed shooter.  
3.  I wanted a light, red dot, and BUIS.
I didn't want to pay a crap load for a Surefire Scout...lol.  I got what I felt was good light for a good price.  
I paid more for the Aimpoint PRO but got a good deal when both BUIS' can co witness through the Aimpoint.
4.  The main motivation is target shooting but allow myself the flexibility to shift into self defense mode when necessary.

Nice build. I gotta ask though why did you remove the spacer on the aimpoint?

I just felt like it was too tall for me.  I was having to lift my cheek up and off the rifle.

Wel I for one think it looks great, and you can put whatever 'crap' you want on your rifle.  Super-light is all the rage these days, but half the guys here had 47 pounds of gizmos on their rifle 5 years ago.  The great thing about the ar15 is you can make it exactly how you want it, and they can do the same with their rifle.

The greatness of it all, if I want lighter, I can take the flashlight off.  

This will allow me to run with the Aimpoint and the BUIS.
