When you have to replace your broken triggers…you have to drill / grind out the factory rivet….ALWAYS USE A BRASS SCREW AND NUT to replace the rivet. Brass doesn’t rust and will easily come apart …….next time.

I look forward to seeing more of your tips. Last year they sure helped me improve my body grip traps.

If I can add to the topic of replacement wires, Welding supply houses carry stainless steel TIG filler rod which works wonderfully for trigger wire. Won't break the bank either. You can buy as little or as much as you want. They sell it by weight.

I bought brass nut and screw at the hardware store and found out the screw was only brass plated

if you need it all brass check with a magnet

The brass hardware ain’t cheap….but well worth it

get the brass screws from your trap supply dealer, same ones to use on trap pans, cheap by the hundred and you will find uses for them.
