Nice and simple, the way it should be. Good job.

If you're going to do the Index Clips flag you should put the blue (stars) toward the front.

Little update. I picked up a PA 3x LER magnifier on a flip to side QD mount to put behind the Eotech. It's nice and definitely helps to reach out on longer shots. I think I'm pretty much done with this one for now. But I've said that a few times already.

With them in the back there's a French flag in there.





ETA: I'm stupid, French flag is blue, white, red.

Very nice OP!  Solid choices there.

The only suggestion I have would be to get a side sling mount for on the rail and not at the 6 o'clock position like you have.  Put it on the strong side.  It'll hang better when slung and not want to roll the rifle over.   I also find it helps when you get into the sling and tension it for long distance shots, helps it not induce some torque and input into the rifle.
