How about a MB 650 spring. And i thought It would be easier to use square tubing Instead of pipe. It would be a lot eaiser to just drill holes Instead of slots. You could drill a 3/4" hole for the trigger And 3/16ths holes for the paw holding devise.

yep i used a mill. if you don't have one just drill a large hole the lay a nail part way over the hole and tack it in place with a welder. much easier then milling.

as for the slots, mark and drill the proper size hole then very slowly twist the pipe allowing the side of the drill to cut the slots. go too fast and your drill will become two! i know there are easier ways to make a trap but i was after a method for anyone with a drill press and a welder to be able to make one. i do like the idea above about using square tubing. might have to try one of those sometime in the future.

With the use of the square tubing you could just drill two holes Instead of slots. And the U shaped paw holder could be bent with two 90s so when It was pulled through the holes It would pull up tight to the Inside surface of the tubing.Just like two trap jaws coming togeather.And to keep the paw holder pulling straight you would just cut two segments of smaller tubing that would slip Inside and bracket the paw holder.

Same as the Grizz you connect the throw arm of the spring to the U shaped paw holder

10 or 12 gauge would work. 1/8 inch threaded rod would give you better hold on that coons foot over a smooth wire or rod.

With a coons tapered foot I would think you would get more pull outs with a flat paw holder.
