That would be a Sterling 500 which is generally considered a superior design to the MB's, but dang near impossible to find. I looked on a dozen each of the 500's and 600's 6 years ago, right when the bottom fell out of fur (everything but yotes) and my life circumstances took me away from much trapping. I sold of all the 500's and all but 2 of the 600's.

I got a dz 600's last year. Had to email sterling and get on a list. When they went into production I was emailed back and placed my order.
Still I believe the K-9 Extreme and the J.R's are better traps.

I spend all my money on loose women and trapping supplies.....The rest I just waste.
