Greener side safeties have never been automatic, but they are the worst idea for a safety ever. I tried to use one on one of the cleanest, most pristine Grade F's you can imagine, 28" semi-pg, dt, splfe. I fumbled with that thing throughout a hot dove shoot. Sold it as soon as I could.
I have seen an example where a really good 'smith put a metal spacer under the button to raise the button well above the surface of the wood. It was quite a bit easier to use, but still aggravating.
Worth a mention: when I received this gun, the stock finish was flaking and dry. I decided to do a low-impact refinish on the wood that really turned out well-very original looking. But I had no idea how to get the buttstock off the frame. So I rang up Jack Rowe and told him my predicament "No problem" he said, "I'll walk you through it". Every step was concise and easily done with his wonderful guidance in that British accent. A true gentleman and superb gunsmith, Jack Rowe. Rest gently in the bosom of God, Old Prince.
