Nice looking traps....my take ...it is common for the chain to get wrapped up over one of the springs...for that reason add another swivel in the chain....just my take. X2 Good trap, caught several cats, yotes, and beaver in them

These were the new style with offset jaws. I called Ed and bought the parts from him. PIT-02A , he sent pics to show the mods. After you knock out the old pan post you lay the new pan bracket on top of the frame and the pan bolt goes under on the bottom side of the frame. Mine is wrong in the pic and I had to change it. Did a dozen today with the center chain mod too.

Which Paws Pit pan kit did you use for the Bridger #4? Ed called last night and said his steel cost went up 4x this year and he is selling what he has in stock and then out of business because trappers won't want to pay the new cost of his product. He said he might start up again if material costs come back down but he said he is 82 and is not holding his breath for that to happen in his lifetime. Sad deal, great guy. So you better not wait to long to get parts.

Great now there'll be a run on them. Someone will buy 300 of PIT-?, never use them and they'll sit for the next 50 yrs.
