Good to know. If you come into an IHC service grade. I'll be happy to give you 730.00 for it
I have one Garand, it's an H&R, and it's not for sale
[EDIT] And it is a shooter too! I love it!
$1060 for CMP IHC Garand, is it worth it?

Oh wait, you already ordered it? Well in that case enjoy, I'm sure it will be worth the investment. I don't mean to rain on your parade. I have yet to hear anyone say they feel they were ripped off by CMP.
[EDIT] And even if you don't like the rifle, you could almost certainly get all your money back or perhaps more reselling it.

Garands aren't nearly as tough to collect as M1 Carbines...they had more than ten manufacturers with a variety of sub-variations beyond that. To collect them requires having an obsessive personality and deep pockets.

Let me know if you have an extra one buddy !!
MG folks often equate their single gun to an entire M1 Garand collection. It is a fairly interesting argument. Consider that a run of the mill MG is $8K and a bunch of field grade M1 Garands could set you back $8k. An M16 is in the $25k-$30K range and a decent collection of correct M1 Garands (including a sniper or two) could easily set you back this much.
I sent in two apps days apart (Springer and IHc) and still no DBU email. Also tried to buy some Garand bayonets but my club membership is not yet in their system. Woe is me! 
I sold an Hra a few months ago with a 1905 style bayonet made my AF&H. I wish I’d have kept the bayonet, that style is no longer available from Cmp.

Sometimes i Upgrade ones i already have and then have one to sell. If i get another in ill let ya know. Right now just have one of each manuf of those 7. So 3 more to have the lot.
Garands are a lot like real estate, you don't pay too much you only might pay it early.
I got my H&R Garand from the DCM (CMP) a while ago for $165, I remember thinking "Holy crap, that's a lot of money!"

25 yd zero
so I finally got off my a*s and zeroed my new rifle in.
I did have to take the rear sight apart and clean it first, but loosening the screw holding it together might have been adequate
Initially, I couldn't turn the windage screw.
This one has a great barrel and could compete
I've never truly zeroed my other 3 garands aka sighted at a known yardage and set the elevation correctly.

You can push in on the elevation knob to make the windage knob easier to turn.
