Thanks Man, Okay the levers and pan are from the Bridger #2, same adjustable dogless set up as the Bridgers. 650 jaws lamed to 5/16th. Stalker custom sprin pins, the levers are reinforced across the top to control torque. I used the 4 coil springs from MB550s on 3 and the JC Conner lightning springs for the MB550 on 4. Stock 550 main springs. Jaw spread ouside is 6 1/8. I cut the spring pins off after I received and installed JCs spring clips.
Almost forgot, they bed like a dream...

Yep Tax I emailed the pics. Yuk, didn't I PM the pics to you also? Ya, you pm'ed me. But...they are gone. Perhaps I got extremely jealous and deleted the pm. Taxi, thanks for posting those pics. Gary, that is just plain awesome. That's the trap I have in mind to try to build. I see now, it would be the trap to...duplicate. OK, Gary, I have Taxi's pics saved in my trapping folder. Gosh, that should be the shizzle.

Can't go wrong with 550s. As far as the jaw its dependent on your goals, imo. Market here I like to use rubber jaws and offsets. I use 450s also in foxier spots. This may attract some haters, and to each his own, but I never could get sold on the 650, 750s and have used both. Great traps, I just don't like the mechanism. JMO

In fact, some of the new ones I bought were at 2/12 pounds.
