Default Skeet and upland

Did the fox skeet and upland have a automatic safety or being a skeet gun that was disabled ?
Thanks Scott

My three Skeet & Upland Game Guns all have automatic safeties. The catalogs don't say that I see.

Default SPE Skeet Safety

My SPE Skeet has a non-automatic safety.

Hi, nothing in letter said anything about it, but it isn't a automatic safety now.

I don’t have a letter, but I do have a copy of the work order card. It does not specify safety type.

In the days of the "Skeet and Upland", a missed bird because of forgetting to take the safety off was not the same as a similar mistake at the World NSSA Skeet Shoot. The "Skeet and Upland" was way more upland than skeet.
