Auto safety disassembly

[Mike Poindexter]

I have two questions. One, is there any way to search the archives by keyword, like you can on the open forums? That may have cleared up this issue. Second, I'm looking for info on disassembling the auto safety mechanism for cleaning. I have one that is gummy. The FAQ section on removing the buttstock stops at taking apart the auto safety. I know the tang screw bushing has to come out in order to get the pin out, and that the lever mechanism looks like it could be drifted out from the bottom to the top, but I'm not willing to apply force without knowing exactly what should move and how. The bushing has a slot milled in the top which suggests that it may be threaded into the wood, but, again, I'm not twisting anything on a mere hunch. Any help appreciated.

Mike yes you unscrew the bushing it's treaded about 1/2" and the lever mechanism is tapped out from the bottom gently so you don't damage the wood.
