I was taking a second look at the SPS today and wondered if someone had converted a 501 and could not ever remember seeing one..Plenty of 110's and rarely a 112 and just one 500. I've had a few chances to buy a auto 112 before Buck came out with a factory model for my rare odd 112 collection but passed all that came my way. I have seen very few fancy or Custom non-factory auto's and just 2 or 3 factory Buck auto's that have been embellished in any way. I think the extra pin on factory auto's has stopped many artists from popping off the handles and putting on MOP or Stag and horn as its a real technical challenge..although I have seen one that had 3/4 of the handle replaced below the button..
So here's your chance to post all your factory AND aftermarket conversions automatic Bucks!
My dream for many years was a nickel silver frame MOP 112 with a mirror polished BG42 blade and red Ruby button but on some nights a Damascus blade with engraved bolsters in brass with Mastodon Ivory handles with any button..
 
I passed a decent deal on a 500 years ago, then decided to go back for it a week or two later and it was gone. I have seen a couple since then one was worth getting but couldn't justify it at the time.
I've got a brass and ebony 110, the orange 110 with the S30v and an 898 with s30v.
Waiting for a NS drop point 110.
Ya, I've often thought the 501 would make a great auto.
