Good Afternoon!
I just picked up this 1933 .38/44 Outdoorsman, I figured it would the closest I'll ever get to a prewar magnum. It seems to be in great shape, but when I got home I noticed that it doesn't take much force at all to push the hammer off in single action. While this gun probably won't be getting as much range time as the rest of my collection, I'd like to get it sorted. It also has a bit of a sticky trigger return sometimes.
I imagine someone may have gotten a little overzealous with a trigger job on it in the past. I'm comfortable with a taking the gun apart and putting it back together, replacing springs and whatnot, but I've never taken on something like this before.
I also included a picture of what looks like the hammer stud, is it common to be able to see it from this side of the frame like that? Too much polishing on a reblue job?
Thanks for any advice in advance!
