No, it is based on need, or in the spec-ops community, personal preference. Some commanders will allow their troops to accessorize their own weapons as long as they conform to Mil-spec, but most guys don't, seeing that even the cheapest mil-spec optics cost about $400. You can get accessories for the RIS (the foregrip, for example) fairly cheap.
Other than that everything is issued to you.
My only two consessions as far as modifications go is to have put a glare guard on mt Aimpoint, and I only use Orlite magazines (get them off a friend in Israel). Other than that I use what I am issued, but I sorta have too.
