Bill is still around. He is probably getting ready for deer season right now.

Bill's early years of developing the RBG he sent me a half dozen small RBG. He said, see if you can catch a Weasel with these traps.
I did catch one Weasel and many Chipmunks.
These test traps had a 110 spring, 110 trigger cut down & 110 dog.
Bill got around to making correct size spring, trigger & dog for this small RBG.

TOP- Prototype with 110 spring, trigger & two notch dog
BOTTOM- final product with correct size spring, trigger & one notch dog

Not home right now so can't post any pictures. I have couple them little RBGs too got from Bill.. Also have 2 of the first 160 size that Bill made.. Was talk for a bit we were going to loose our 160s on land so had Bill build me dozen 5 inch.. I caught lot of coon in my 160s set blind in trails. For some reason I could not get a coon to stick his head in them 5 inch on a trail. Use them on rat line now when trapping them.

Great traps. Those round 160s are great for those wood chuck dens. And they produced better then the square 160s when used In trail sets for coon.
