Anyone having any problems with their levers being hard to press down after a catch is make ? I have a Freind who gave his away because he having a hard time getting the levers to release Just wondering if that's the case others are having.

Yes they have extreme lockup at times, but so do my MB 550. I just stomp on them, it’s not all the time and it’s not enough to keep me from resetting. Probably if I slowed down long enough there’s bound to be a simple solution, like maybe a little file work

Yes after a coyote caught they bend the levers & have to be straighten. I'll stick with MB 550s.

This is not true any longer. The first ones had levers that would bend at times but Duke as usual has listened to trappers and quickly rectified the problem. They will also replace the levers if you contact them.
