I picked up a few used 330's and a couple have bent, bowed out strike bars, kinda like they fired the trap with a 2x2 and there is a 2 inch gap. How do you fix it?

I've had pretty good luck just bending them back over my knee. I only have lower end 330s though.

Vise and a hammer.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

X2 on a good vice or anvil and a hammer. Usually have to tap a few back in place after a season.

I have had giant otters do that. They are not made of any kind of special steel. Just straighten them back out.

Like Boco said. I have pounded on them in the field with the back of hatchets and axes also. Those seem to be fine to this day.
