So good news is I found out weseal like liver !
Bad news is my trigger has a bit too much travel for a critter that light.

The trap bar was about half way set off when I checked from center so reckon I can just grind it a little thinner confused

I can make it much lighter with the use of lighter springs but the problem is if I make it too light it's gonna be pretty hard to actually keep set in field conditions

Had to do a little modification to me it easier to set but so far it works pretty good on rats and small possums around the yard

Gotta scratch that itch somehow. Looks like you've about got it figured there Wolfe


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.
