Modifications that don't alter the innards such as grip, stocks, slings, etc. are GTG. Our philosophy is it has to be quality components (Magpul, BCM, Blue Force, etc.) and has to be reversible to as issued condition (you have to have all the USGI parts to put back on when turned in). Once you get to rails, triggers, etc. that's where it gets touchy. Although with the latest SOPMOD, those components are pretty much GTG (extended FSB rail, Geiselle trigger, etc.)
Can't speak as to the lack of BUIS, I know there is a line of thought that it's become redundant with the reliability of optics these days. Me personally, I'll take the weight and rail space hit and run BUIS.
Do you think the no BUIS needed line of thinking is more prevalent in the gun oriented users or the less gun enthusiast user with respect to .MIL fielding? I'd assume the latter but I'm just spit balling.
