These guard traps have been dipped and sat in storage since. I haven’t tinkered with them. Personally I always like to do some adjustments after a dye. For instance, some dye got caked on between the jaws, and they currently have the tiniest of openings. Filling that excess of would be great. Sometimes pans need adjusted and so forth.

But if you’ve ever used a Sleepy Creek, you know it’s all be worth it in the end because they are one of the best traps ever to be made. It is saddening they are produced anymore.

See photos.

Thank you for looking and good luck trapping!
