I am wondering if I should just go ahead and get MTP to install beefed up springs while they are laminating them if I order. I have a stock trap on the way to check it out, but I thought I would get opinions before talking with MTP about modding the traps. I would just buy the fully modified version but I have been advised that it may be too stout for greys. "Good Lord, thank you for your endless bounty. Lord please give me the strength to gather what I need"

Yea I am trying to avoid 4 coiled. I just want to have enough power for the laminated jaws. Trying to find a happy medium I guess. "Good Lord, thank you for your endless bounty.

I really don’t see a need to 4 coil them, but my .02. My heart belongs to my family. My body belongs to my work. My soul belongs to the woods.

Cost 2.50 per trap extra to laminate. Now I just need to decide chain stakes or no. I am going to start another thread on that... "Good Lord, thank you for your endless bounty.
