The montys had the best pan set up of their time and is carried on today in the montanas, wolf creek and victors badged as montgomerys. Their levers though were the weak point being of a low lever design making for less holding strength compared to the contemporary northwoods high lever design. Late model montys went to a high lever design. Another issue was the jaw tips were often quite short and prone to popping out of the frame if given a hard pull. The fix was to spot weld a bubble on the tip or give them a whack with a hammer to bend them up as your's looks to have been done.

Down side was if a rock got inline under it would keep it from firing. Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

About the only thing I liked about that threaded post was being able to set the trap with my middle finger from underneath as I depressed the levers. Otherwise it was a PIA.

If you look into Taos helper springs, the wider spring pin is for the high lever, narrower for low lever. I sold my 2s when the hype started, twice lol.
