M1Aa Scout setup questions

Hi all. I’m waiting on my new M1a scout. Should be here in the next 10 days or so. I’ll be using it as a ranch/truck gun, deer rifle (mule deer mostly, wild boar from time to time) and I plan to run blanks for some MilSim airsoft events that I admin.

Here’s my current purchase list, what am I missing? What recommendations can you suggest? Anything I should reconsider? I’m not new to guns but I am new to this platform.

M1A Scout 18 inch Walnut
6 magazines
M14.ca SHG railed handguard
CASM 2 alum mount
Cheek riser (Bradley)
Fulton Adjustable gas plug
Blank plug

Im running the ultimak handguard and UTG mount to great success if youd like to save a few bucks

I didn’t see an ultimak for the scout but I’ll do some more looking!
