Victor #3

[gunsmoke71]

I have three different styles of Victor #3...
Left to right... Vic #3 square jaw wide spring pin, Vic #3 square jaw narrow spring pin, & Vic #3 round jaw...

I have one of the SJ narrow pin traps with a broken jaw and no replacement jaws to be found anywhere. I done a little measuring and dismantled a few traps and this is what I came up with.
Bridger #2 jaws are a perfect fit in the Vic #3 SJ narrow pin trap.
Left= Vic #3 SJ NP... Right= Vic #3 with bridger #2 jaws and levers...


Left= Vic #3 SJ NP... Right= Vic #3 with bridger #2 jaws and vic #3 leavers...

While I was messing around with the traps I done a little measuring on the Vic #3 SJ wide pin...
Vic #3 round jaws fit this trap real nice...

Man Jeff, you just have WAY to much time on your hands.

Very good work and info there tho. Is it hard to bend those jaws with them being laminated as they are?

Besides that you REALLY need to organize your work bench AGAIN, I do prefer the high leavers VS the low leavers. But I like it!

Nothing better to do on a cold windy day than mess around in the shed by the wood stove...

If you go to a Bridger lever on these traps you end up with pretty much a high lever trap. Added expense, but if you're going to rework them, might as well do it right.I've done a few of these and they make for a nice trap.
