How far springs are in from end of jaws..really just need a few pics of the trap set and a tape measure from lever tip to lever tip will help a lot Last edited by Billkil1187; 12/31/24 04:13 PM.

They come with a big rectangle pan, I'd say it's been modified, here's how I did mine... Act like a blank, get treated like a blank. Insert your own blank!

I only bought one to try. I have 6 mb750s that I was using at the time and I rarely had a miss if any. I assumed some of my misses were because of the big rectangular pan. I have not used it since I cut it down. I prefer the mb750.
