Terry, you and I share the same philosophy about safeties. I wouldn't have one without the automatic feature. You have hope though--Parkers were made with identical parts and I am quite sure it can be easily converted to auto by a good gunsmith. Could be that everything needed is already in the gun but just disabled. E-mail me if you'd like a couple pointers on removing the stock. It's easy but there are steps that must be followed.
