The Brawns are all exactly the same, as with any mass produced products, I set pan tensions however they where all the same originally and I have yet to file a trigger notch. They are riveted together on the base and stamped out metal parts, where as the BFV's are handmade and look indestructible but not all the exact same.
Thats my 2cents

Thanks sheep
Ya have 6 of the Brawns as well, biggest negative have heard and seen on them is jaw speed/strength, I know the handmade ones have is better.
The northern/alaska guys talked to prefer the alaskan #9 or the Koro
for both reasons mentioned but cant use them here. Ive seen the foot snares in use on cats and bears and like them but havent seen them in use in winter. Like the looks of the Lays but if you can get 6 of another for the price of 3 of the lays have to consider that as well.
