Springfield M1922 M1.1 Questions

[dtdtdtdt]

I just got a nice 1922M1.1 that has a Timney trigger installed. I am thinking about restoring it to the original trigger type. I think it is a regular Springfield type 2-stage trigger used on the 03, 03A3, and 1917. I have one of these in stock so it would be an easy swap out.

Am I right???

The only problem I have found with the rifle is a loose Lyman front sight (fixed with a twist of a screwdriver), loose screws on the Lyman rear sight with the rear sight windage knob screw slot broken. Anyone able to tell me the thread size? I believe it is a 2-64 as a 2-56 just starts but won't advance. A 1-72 won't screw in either and seems too loose. I measured the diameter of the screw (0.0765) which seems to be about right for a 2.

I also have a very nice apparently original 1922M2.

My intent is to use the first one as a shooter for a while and keep the other as a safe queen for now. Both are really clean and well cared-for.

I got both from a nephew who is in divorce financial trouble so helped him out.

Brophys book states they are interchangeable, but not be identical.
You would be better of posting this type question on the 1903 Springfield spot.
