Hey Pockets,
I think your best buy will prob be south of the border, sorry to say. Check the web or try Fur Harvertors web and see what they have to offer. Local prices and AVAILABILITY , leave a lot to be desired...
What is your #4 conibear? 110, 120, 160,220, 330,???... Beav. must mean 33O..Hope you find what you need at a good price..
You don't really say where you are looking are looking from either...AB of NFLD...

I am not sure what size, they are for my father, and he didn't say if he wants 8" or 10". I am located in Lloydminster, AB, he is in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan.

X2 on Halfords. Based in Edmonton and had everything under the sun for traps and snares.

Default Ontario my friend!

I've trapped in ontario before coming out here to Alberta, with of course that 24 week stop over in Regina.
The best prices I've seen is from the guys at the Ontario Fur Managers Auction(OFMF) or the guys in Fort Francis, I believe they are the Ram connection.

Been to a few places here, 330's are nuts. Well every place i've seen

You can order over the phone, just give them a call, they will send it out.

The OFMF is the best, though locally own, regular trappers running the show, no suits around.

For the beaver I would stick with the 330 size conibear and as for the #3 are you refering to long spring or coil spring? I have not trapped in a while but I am pretty sure that it is not legal to use long springs anymore except maybe in a underwater/drowning setup. Check the regulations on what is allowable. There has been a lot of changes in the last 5 or so years.
