Who uses them and how do you prefer to utilize them? Pictures would help( in sets, in trails,
) etc

I have a few, they fit better in some places. It's always nice to have options for different situations. I have one that's a perfect fit for ground hog holes. Nick is also a great guy. If I trapped more I would have more of his traps.

I used them In coon trails. Worked better then the square BG. They just blended In better, there's nothing square In nature.

The 280’s are an all around trap. As Beav said, they just look better for an animal to shoot through.

Made a water pipe cubby with a 160 at one end and a 220 RBG at the other they worked fine

I have two 2.5 “ ones perfect for 13 lined ground squirrels in my front yard. Just dig a little around the hole so they lay flat and stake off with a screwdriver .

Nick does excellent work! I like his 160 RBG for skunks.

I have 7 inch and the 12 inch traps and they are great.And Nick is great guy to work with.

i use 6" corrugated pipe with his 4 1/2" round conibears for mink/rat cubbies. works good!

There seems to be a trick to stabilizing them

Seems to be.

Can't speak about the round traps, but I'm a big fan of his 5x5 square jaws

How do you stabilize them in the pipe? Bought a few this year for the exact same purpose, but cant get them stable. I cut a slot for the spring and tried bending it around, but the pipe is too thin for the spring to pinch securely

I use them for ADC work as well as on the line.. They fit better in some situations and are strong.

drill out the off rivet and run a 1/4"bolt thru it. a nut and washer and your in business!

If your using plastic pipe you can burn slots with a hot piece of heated rod when your dying traps or other grinding, cutting type tools. Buckets, larger cans will work also.
