With an outside jaw spread of 5" and an inside jaw spread of 4 3/8", this trap is designed for strength and reliability. It features 5/16 "thick, smooth closed cast jaws, a Paws-I-Trip Pan with night latched dog heavy levers, strong music wire springs, #2 chain, Crunch Proof swivels, and a 2-piece gusseted frame. All these features ensure that the MB-450-FH is a high-quality, durable trap.

**Disclaimer: We try our best to source all Minnesota Brand trap parts within the USA. At times in the past we have had issues sourcing sufficient quantities of particular parts from our USA suppliers. It is very important to us to provide a USA made product but also be able to provide trappers with traps. Therefore, our Minnesota Brand Traps are fully assembled by our American crew in Pennock, Minnesota with either all USA made parts or a combination of USA and minimal foreign parts when necessary to provide product to the market place. The vast majority of our MB trap parts are punched just 8 miles from our shop by LFS Tool & Die Company and sufficient quantities of those parts are never an issue**

What is the difference between a regular and offset jaw?

When the trap is in the fired position and you are looking straight down on the trap if the jaws touch together it is a regular or closed jaw trap. If there is a gap where the jaws meet that is called an offset jaw trap.
