You'll probably end up modding those jaws Congratulations on finding new oldstock What would I do to them? Just curious. I like to leave things stock, if legal.
Why do I carry 10mm? Because shooting twice is just silly.

God bless Brian McKee for undertaking the SC trap business at a real tough time. Labor, materials, and energy costs and no fur market..... He isnt making any of the traps right now and with the price of steel and no foreseeable fur market there is a good chance they wont be made anytime soon. Same with BMI and Onieda Victor.

How much can the steel really cost to make a trap? I know steel is expensive but it still has to be a small amount of the total cost on a higher end trap like a 4.5 sc.

Yeah that’s a stronger man than me!! No way I can do that.
I’ve still been thinking about laminating some of these that are coming. But I really don’t think it’s gonna be necessary. Might night latch them, if they aren’t already. But I like the original pans. Just look cool to me.
