Pan unreadable, jaws and posts good, original chain I thought it was worth about $80 This one is the left one in picture Other 114, has barely readable pan ,brass post bolts, not original chain but has one good strong spring, other is weak. I thought 60 was fair This one is right one in picture...far right spring looks to be new. Am I close? Out of line? Thanks Last edited by rosscoak; 01/16/21 07:05 PM.

Part of me wants to catch a wolf in a 114 for nostalgia sake. There are lower cost options for springs. I have seen good 4 1/2, 114 ATC springs at trapper conventions in the 20 to 30$ each range. I think the Bridger #5 springs would also work if you just wanted to make them usable...
