I have some Victor #3 and 4 longsprings plus a few #4 Triumphs. Has anyone tried using coilspring jaws in these frames? Or do Sleep Creek replacement jaws fit Triumphs? Any experience or help is appreciated. Thanks. Money can't buy everything...but, it can buy me a boat.

That being said if you still want to just change jaws your gonna want something that will form as straight up and down jaw as possible. The sleepy creek coils have a few that fit this profile fairly well along with having a good wide off set jaw face

Or jaws from other brand traps are flipped and installed. You just have to try and see www.sevenoakstrappingsupplies.com for trap mods and gear The 10 Commandments are not suggestions. Buy a soldiers meal EVERY chance you can.
