Muskrat trap springs

Who makes the weakest replacement springs for a 1 1/2 size coil spring. I have some montgomerys with music wire springs that are way to stout. I got some wildriver pans which Iove. Would just like a weaker spring and they would be the perfect rat trap. Thanx!

How many do you want. I recently replaced weak springs with a stronger spring on a bunch of 1.5's.

I have 3 dozen that I am setting up with the wild river pans.

Just put the torch to the ones you have.

I actually thought about that Beav. How long do you have to put the heat to them? Or just go by feel.

Take baby steps to begin with. I settled on 30 seconds per spring but start out with 20 seconds to begin with.

Start with a sprung trap use a hand held torch and heat the entire spring. Allow to cool and set trap.

I have done that to all my rat traps and you will be surprised how much better they work. And with the weaker springs and the Wild River pans you will have a some real rat killing traps.

Excellent. Thanx beav. I am going to give that a shot!

X2 I did that about 8 years ago and would do it again in a heartbeat. Made them better rat traps.
