Gerald, the rod could have not been out in by customers request at the factory. Or could be removed after the fact by an owner that did not like the auto safety. The tang screw furrel needs to be removed to get the rod out. A good way to tell if it was ordered without is if there is a hold for the rod drilled in the stock. If not originally equips, I would not think the hole to have been drilled.
I have several of these rods. And I am actually making them new as well.
