Is it worth getting a couple MB1216 Traps? Everytime I get a Beaver in a 330, I think gosh the Trap sure look small on the Beavers head.

I would be using them for Blind Sets.

I need some help pushing me over the edge to buy a couple. Let's see those catches.

Some say 660s are great, so there's certainly people that like the 1216. Me personally I'll stick with a 330 or two.

I much prefer my custom 10x 24 and 10x 29" Belisles

The MB 1216s were said to be Slow... my Belisle conversions are anything but.

Are plans available for those? I can cut and weld.

I can provide my photos tomorrow, they are somewhere in the Archives.

Just do a quick search through your posts.

Thanks ADC

I do have Garage photos where I'm cutting and chopping my New Belisles before the long bar welds.
I'll look.

I think I am tracking what and where the lift kit gets installed. The trigger appears to be pretty much a custom built item also. Is the wire material from a coat hanger?

K who makes the best 660's on the market?

Home built are the best right now

Rich Kaspers kits to build are not available...
The non Belisle 660's can be bought ...can't remember who bought Rich out right now.

MB1216's work great in those bigger channels and runs.Love them.

Coat hanger wire is too soft. I use wire off of an electric fence but I'm sure you can find something else compatible. The conversion is simple, the hardest part is making sure you put it back together correctly before welding.

I use political Yard sign wire.

It has to be rigid

Bike rim spokes.

Love it. There are plenty of those available. Easy cutting with my 9’s.

That would work...but not long enough pieces as a political sign holder

I can make it all one piece.

Guess I will be trolling for political signs in the ROW also.

awesome article
