Also before you go to crazy try to zero your rifle make sure your gas cylinder is snug.That too, very true. I hope she doesn't want kids as I'm content with just having our puggle dog lol. I keep telling her I don't want the stress financially/physically of raising a family haha. But that's a whole other discussion.
But yes that is my plan, buy now while I still can.

Also once your rifle is clean and any updates stock work is finished fight the urge to disassemble the gas cyl or even remove the action from the stock. Unless you get your garand very dirty or wet there is no need to clean after every range trip. Give the bore a quick wipe and a oil patch for storage.
Also to keep yourself from going crazy zero your windage at 25 yards of the most stable rest you can obtain. Make a reference mark on the front sight and gas cyl so you can see your movement. it doesnt take much movement. practice at home to get a feel for how much the sight needs to be loosened to get it to move with a light push.... dont get to crazy with trying to zero it just enough so the front sight or rear sight doesnt need to be extreme to one side..... Every time you shoot your rifle with different ammo, reloads, ect ect you will have a bit of adjusting to do. Knowing a base mechanical zero is good though. I then mark my front sight with paint on the base and the gas cyl. on the front as a reference you will see in a instance if your sight came loose or was bumped out of wack.... have fun
