Nobody that I have contacted has those springs. WCS says koro has stopped making them! If anyone knows where i can get some please let me know.In the meantime I'll have to try and fix it.

Bailey is an awesome trap. Read my blog wildlifecontrolconsultant.com or ICWDM.org

Steve, was it just a little bit wider ?

Re: hancock trap - 09/03/12 01:17 AM
I think it was about 4 coils wider. So I had to move the L brackets out and get longer timber spikes to hold the spring .

Went down cellar to count coils on a Koro and it's the same as your old spring

nobody has the correct spring for it.Hancock trap company would not return my calls,koro would not get back to me,WCS did not have them in stock.I even called some local guys that have hancocks and they say their having the same problem. I got the bailey springs from Tomahawk.

They shouldnt be to hard to make from music wire if one had, or know someone that does, a spring winder?

I don't think anyone from our office would have said "they stopped making them" ! The manufacturer did have a problem with the steel quality for awhile, but we have them in stock now !!
Last I heard, Hancock has ceased production of traps and springs.
