They use the same pan on the #2,3 and 4. When I did my #2's I trimmed it down some looks like Doug did to.
I'm itchin' to see a coyote twitchin'.
More trappin' and less yappin'.

The 4s I've used held wolves here. I use screen covers on all mine works great 3s and4s just make sure to file to get enough tension , so it will not fire making set.

I believe Red puts 3 triangle file strokes on upper side of “dog slope” right where it turns and goes vertical....that’s what he told me anyways and I did to some of mine. I was surprised how little it takes

Nycoyote, Btomlin gotter right. It takes very little for 3 lbs you will find the stiffer the screen more tension needed. just give it a stroke at a time until you get what you want that's how we all done it. We all do it a bit different on traps hope it works well for ya .

I like to file a nite latch into mine. I will say they are some fast little traps. The only problem I have with them is I don't own enough of them! They keep the most consistent pan tension of all the dogless traps I own. majority of mine are 2.5 -3 lbs .I want to be abel to catch any foxes that work my sets lol and stinkers

I got some #2s in a trade and some of them won't set. Even with the pan all the way down the jaw won't clear. Looks like I'm going to have to file quite a bit off. I was planning on bending the jaw tips up and this has a tendency to suck the jaws in slightly so this will only compound the issue. Has anyone else had this problem? It sounds like the pan assembly needs to be loosened up where it attached to the frame so it can slide forward a tad or the frame bent up where the pan assembly attaches to move the dog toward the center of the trap. I'm new at the dogless also so I could be completely wrong btw. I wouldn't do anything until Red Mt. posts though.......
