Looks to be pushing 6 5/8". That lets PA trappers out. yep...missed a major market; by about a 1/16th of an inch or thereabouts. 1/8 inch to be certain. I agree. Ill probably buy a dozen and grind a 1/16th off the jaws to be legal but with "all of the thought and testing" that I keep hearing went into these im surprised they missed a big trapping state in PA. And why only offset?

You guys must have game warden’s running around with tape measures and miccrometers in their pockets! LoL! In the south GW aint that picky. Will let 1/8 th in or more slide! Will say = Well its just a coyote. Anyway. Its a nice looking trap! I have 200 MB 550’s. They are a quaility product. I am sure the Alpha will be too!!!

I looked at them. For the cost, I can't see any reason to choose these over the K.O.
If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.

We have the best trap options in the history of the paw hold. The Alpha is just one, there are many. If the Alpha fits your budget and style of trapping and jaw restrictions then its your decision.
For me its an easy decision but Im a bit bias since it was my idea LOL.. They'll be specs posted on The MTP website in September after they build stock.

Any idea where they're made? Same place as the regular MB 550's are.

Did you test using screen and how were they in mud conditions ? How far below the jaw is the pan tab / notch ? Screen slides right in, stiff or soft. 1/8th below jaw. Mud no problem, I have a lot of that here and Rob tested them in wet red clay in Georgia without issues.

Is the tab that the pan sits on rounded or square? If it is square how long does it take for it to become rounded? The tab is square and its casted in the cast jaw not welded the protos Iv'e used for 3 years show no wear.
