Thanks all The only problem that I have had is a couple of the levers got a slight twist, in my opinion it is the only thin and weak part on them. With that being said I contacted Duke traps and about an hour later Bill Duke himself said that they had made thicker levers and to send him an email this summer and he would send me replacements free of charge. It's hard to beat that kind of customer service. Oh and Happy Birthday Beav Last edited by thumper3181; 05/19/20 09:49 PM. Wfjc

TheCoyotero trapper T Joined: Jul 2018 USA	I would have to say that I own a dozen of the Duke 550s and I have noticed a significant difference in the strength of the springs versus the springs on the MBs. That could be one reason the levers are twisting some. Overall, great trap though! Sit with warriors. The conversation is different.
