PARick OP trapper Joined: Sep 2019 Pennsylvania	why do most trap manufactures use brass pan bolts? Is it just to prevent rusting and Goulding of the pan? I’m replacing a lot of stripped out bolts and often wonder.

Not enough demand from most trappers to upgrade to make it worth the extra cost to manufacturers. The few traps that don't use brass are specialized and expensive traps anyways.
