The inside cutouts of the spring levers are angled...for better lock up, I assume. But other than that and the seemingly cheaper steel its made out of it is almost Identical to the Bridger. Oh...and it has a small dirt gap at the base of the jaws. The Bridgers dont have a gap but the jaws create a dirt slot due to the jaw design cut.

I had to call Bill and see what was going on. And they are making a #2 square jawed dog less. He said they missed the boat by getting them out on the market so late. I just might have to look Into getting some.

I bought 4 of them to try, but can't really make a judgement on them. As luck would have it only caught a couple grinners in them, seems like a decent trap overall though. What adjustment is needed ? Pan tension?

Maybe I`m missing something.The reason I like the paws i trip pans with the ss dogs is so I NEVER have to mess with another bolt and nut on a trap again.I will admit that I have never tried the dogless traps but do they come louse after a catch like the older dog and pan traps? No messing with bolts or nuts on dogless either. You want the pan to free fall when not under tension.

I don't think you would be able to patented a trap. Traps have been copied since the first trap was hammered out In some black smith shop 200 years ago.. You might be able to patented a part of a trap like the trigger On a DP but the whole trap not a chance.
