Might as well ditch the stock pad if you're not gonna use the LE one, it looks funny. Alot of soldiers do anyways. As for optics you're definitely safe with a 552.
I've seen alot of pics were soldiers ditch both the ambi-catch and/or the charging handle for A1 parts. Why? well my personel experience with the ambi-catch, humping it through thick swamp, trying keep my rifle close to chest, emerge from said swamp, finally, go to aim my rifle, no magazine! I must've pressed the latch by accident and didn't hear the mag drop. Obviously, that could be the end of me in a real life scenario. I've also heard stories of the charging handle getting caught in all sorts of places (mainly gear). If you are looking to do a Canadian build, you can do without these parts.
Fantastic rifle though, thumbs up!
