SOooo, back story
I kinda like shooting 3 gun, currently have a souped up AR and CZ pistol and do pretty well on rifle and pistol stages. My issue is with shotgun stages, I use an 870, that kind of leaves me behind the guys with semi's.
I do however, have a M1A sitting in my safe, USGI parts kit on a SA receiver, pretty much bone stock.

My thought was that until I can afford a 1000 dollar shotgun, just shoot Heavy Metal with the M1A, as I have all that I need.
- My question is what can I do to my rifle to make it more competitive, preferably nothing super expensive and nothing that cant be changed back to its original configuration.

I'm already tracking on getting a compensator of some flavor, probably going on the end of a Smith front sight adapter thingy, any thing else needed?
- The rifle its self has been tuned by Mr Hook, it runs great.

any advice?

Sounds like a decent set-up except for the pistol. I thought you need a .45 for HM in most matches. I've seen Patrick Kelly do very well with a M1A numerous times.

I've got a single stack 5in 1911 that I was planning on using.

That should do the trick. Have fun!
