If it is a simple project and you want it, do it. However, I'm of the opinion it is no big deal. Like many hunters I spent much of my life shooting 870's and 1100's---they all have "non-automatic" safty and no big deal. I bought an SKB some years back and found thier non automatic safty disconcerting for a day or two. Once I got it through my thick skull that it really isn't a big deal I came to like the feature. Hunting, the saftey is on, sporting clays, trap and skeet not so much.
