Default .32-20 HE Binds up in DA, works ok in SA. How to fix
This gun was worn slap out when I got it. It had been in the family for a while so I had it reblued.

As stated in the title, this thing binds up in double action. Can anything be done to fix it, or do I need a new hammer and trigger?

Here are some pictures:

It looks like the double action sear is too short, causing the binding. If you can find another sear that is longer, I would try that. Gun Parts, Inc. may have them.

Should be an inexpensive fix
