KORO Trap - Redux

[Sonny Sixkiller 18]

The new KORO trap design.  Described as having "Easy Set Latch".  At first glance, the dog can be honed to a "hair trigger".

What they licenced for?

Looks a good improvement.

Sonny is that a prototype, or is that how they are coming from factory? Looks like something that could be achieved with a bit of diy, and modify all those traps with the original dog.

That looks like a big improvement, as there is no dog flying up into the front/face of the animal that would cause foul catch.

it is simpler and more robust too.. a little fettling with a file and you could get something very light to fire as you like.

would that need to be resubmitted for the STAO for the 4 uk countries?

Wildlife Control Supplies sells this model of KORO.  There is a smaller Rodent version.  The power and force of the old style and new trap are still the same; the pan is a holdover from the KORO #1 and KORO #2 sold in North America.

I  can see nothing  that improves on a Bodygrip in a cubby  which will have the bonus of being used for Rabbits also   (116 )

I done the same thing, but still wasn't happy with them with that flying dog. Actually copying that new trigger formation as we speak, and already much happier with that system.

The new trigger does look better ,  the traps would work a lot better on a run through if we could use them that way.   LOL

I agree lol. Used as a run through, coming in from the side. Even a tubular shaped version, you could shove up a four or five inch pipe

I brought 20 of the small rodent trap last year it’s  a powerful trap still think that a body grip and a fen are better .

I made some boxes for the large version with a small entry holes  for squirrels and found that if the Tunnels are made to right demotions  that keeps them away from away from the trigger they kill well .

I’d prefer a higher killing/chinning bar 
It has potential to be a great trap
