you have been lucky to not had a boad trigger yet.Garand triggers are inherently decent. I've yet to tug on one that compared to a Mosin trigger or even a M1917. If you are patient, you can do a very nice trigger job with diamond EZE-Lap stones for less than $20.
+1 for CMP. Otherwise, find some listed here and as mac mentions make some offers. I saw a few at Cabelas in the gun library but they want stupid prices- $1500 to $1900, and the $1500 had bubba-job butt pads installed.

the 513 will teach you good trigger controlNone have been what I would consider bad. Even with trigger jobs, none as good as my 1903 NM nor a K31; but even the worst has been way better than ones I don't like at all (Russian Mosins, the 513T, Luger pistol, M1917, stock AR's, others...).
Franco's trigger job is best, but I'm happy with my work on the Bula M14, the .308 M1, and even the recent Winchester M1. I'll continue to 'roll my own' in the future.

SGs currently have a 5-6 month backorder, so if the OP wants it sooner he’ll need to find another source or get something else from the CMP.

Where do you see 5-6 mo?
Funny if dealers marked up as much as some of these sellers they would be nominated by NES to be banned.Road trip to the Alabama or Ohio CMP stores? You have to be set up w/ the CMP ahead of time but it's an easy way to pick and choose. If you had to have one now, it's just a matter of paying that premium- I'd say minimum $300 more. A little patience (or a long drive) gets you one for $730.
