Marlin 922M trigger

Just bought 22 mag semi auto rifle.Happy with the gun except the trigger is WORLD CLASS HORRIBLE. Any help would be appreciated, aftermarket or springs or something to improve this mess.

Stoning can help polish it in, same as just shooting it some. Trigger's on autoloaders are usually heavy so they don't double or worse. Lot of Bubba jobs out there that have the hammer follow up the bolt and don't fire the second shot. Lots slop or trigger travel before actually getting to the pull is common too.

Run a couple of boxes of ammo. Take it apart and clean everything. Lightly stone all the working surfaces/edges to remove any burrs. Be very careful not to change angles on the hammer/trigger engagement. Lubricate it properly and put it back together.

This guy has a good reputation and can improve your trigger for $60:

Honestly, that's not a bad price for a pro job at all (and beats messing with disassembly, sear and springs, if you're not pretty comfortable with that sort of stuff).

If you do want to try at home, parts for these guns are readily available. New sear and sear spring can be had for $20, so you can keep your originals then try tinkering with replacement parts, if you like.

Don't have disassembly specs handy, but these guns are basically the same internally as Marlin Camp 9s, and you can get some idea from this video (or elsewhere):
