Kutter it does have an auto safety. The block moves when the action is opened forcing the rod to push the safety to SAFE.
I will have to fire it and let you know if anything changed.
I believe the gun was made in the 1920's and when taken apart I was surprised on how clean it was. I did not take the two pins out on the side of the receiver, one is for what looks like a spring on each side where the firing pins are. The other one I'm not sure of. One of these days when I get ambitious I will take it all apart.
My main interest is L.C. Smith's. I can take them apart and put back fairly easily. I have seen where one half turn on the connecting screw will prevent the Hunter One Trigger from firing. Also the top tang screw under the top lever will do the same if too tight. Luckily that screw head is tapered like the top tang so orientating it is fairly easy. I usually use a dial caliper and take reading before taking apart these HOT guns.
