Got a few 330's, not sure of brand.
When set with the trigger UP, one safety swings down to latch and the other swings up.

A 220 I have has both swinging from the upper leg of the springs. Down to latch, gravity assists.

How are they typically arranged ?
Seems silly to have one swinging up to latch. Maybe just me ?
Thanks

Usually both go in the same direction.

That's what I figgerd', Thanks.
Should I try to snake the safety hook around through the loop of the spring to the other side ? Or open the safety eye and move it ?

I would open the eye of the safety hook and move it.

I have some Bridger 120s and they have one safety going each way, I don't have any Bridger 330s but suspect that may be what you have. Every other brand I have used has both safeties going the same way.

Thanks.
Some of these 330's also have been dipped/waxed only in the areas where the pivot pin rivets are.
Ever see that as a factory application ?

Bridger 330s have the same flat bar safeties that savageau traps have

I switch most of mine to be on top with trigger on bottom. No big deal. Not necessary with Belisle.

A fat rubber band looped through the eye of the spring to hook the curve of the safety or a small piece of fine wire would keep the hooks out of the way pretty easy. Some books show the conis set to hit from the sides with the springs off to one side to avoid fur damage around the hard areas like the skulls and spines.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

All of mine are "on" with dog up. Of course I like to set dog down and the safeties tend to fall off on their own.

I might do something about that or just trust the safety between my ears.

My 330s are Dukes, and I flipped them so that safety is on when dog is on the bottom. Both sides same direction.

...never thought of that, but yes I've seen BGs set "sideways" that would make sense, but who knows?

Minklessinpa - that is exactly how I do it. This keeps your safety catches lined up so they grad the spring better. Belilse is set up this way
