Looking for BIG Coilspring Trap

[Bill G]

That Bridger is probably going to be your best choice. I am not sure anyone makes a #4 or#5 in a full round jaw.

Ok. Thanks!

 

[Bill G]

I made a lot of calls around and no one knew of a full round #4 or #5. The one in your pic looks like a #1.75 or #2 but of course pics are deceiving.

We had a used everything emporium place in Auburn, Ne. had 2 BIG traps one looked store bought the other may have been Blacksmith made. Gary died 4 or 5 yrs ago and I Don't think they did any thing but lock the doors, I don't frequent that area unless I am going to the scrap yard to get welding iron. I will ask a few friends, but estates and family and widows can get awkward.

I have been doing a lot of calling around looking for one. I found a perfect one but I am sure it is out of your budget

No luck on this. They went to swap meets and after a year they trashed/scrapped or gave away until it was GONE. They said if Gary never sold it out the door they wouldn't do any better.

Thanks for trying!!

 

[Bill G]

How much are you looking to spend. Of course as little as possible but what is a realistic budget?

 

[Junk Meister]

I was Hoping to see a few pics of the results.

I am not a trapper so consider that fact when I say I was visualizing a more aggressive trap with TEETH and similar to the ones Bugs Bunny and the cartoon crew would fear monger their audience with.
If you are just wanting a trap for a "DOOR YELPER" why not take a shot at making one? The only restrictions on the imagination is your ability .

I talked to a guy last week that had a coilspring with teeth but it was not a full round.

Still wondering what your budget is. I have spent a lot of time and energy searching around on this. I even paid an upgrade on my phone to talk with folks in Canada.

 

[toolmaker]

Holy Cow Bill. Please don't spend money on something for me!!
If I could get something for 30 or 40 bucks it would be great.
There will be swap meets popping up soon, I will find something tis summer.
Thanks, you can take a break now!

I really do not think you will find what you are looking for as I do not think it was ever made by any company. I think you will find a full round #4 or #5 to be nonexistent. The Bridger is going to be the closest

 

[Bill G]

This is a full round but a #1.75

 

[brushwacker]

I forgot you wanted round jaws
Stumbled on this square 1 was using in my poultry yard years ago.. I have a few #3 Victor round jaws pretty near this size buried neath some stuff. This is a 3 or 4 Pioneer .

 

[brushwacker]

This 1 has off set jaws. I saw only 1 close to this when I googled pioneer coil spring traps that was not the off set version.

 

[Bill G]

I have a new #4 Victor heading my way so we will see what it looks like.
