The cast jaws have a rougher surface which I believe will hold better than the smooth jaws even with OL or IL. This ^ I would call it a "textured" surface and smooth edges. I will say that the mass and size isn't kind to smaller footed canines plus the offset is a touch too wide as well for fox.

I wouldn't suggest a 4coil 650 I hear they have very strong springs.
