    Springfield M1922 M1.1 Questions

    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.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

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