It's a commercial trap........

I have a similar one I bought years ago from MidwayUSA, wasn't very straight, took a little bit of disagreement with a sledge hammer to get the sides to fit flush.

Bigger problem was the bullet bounce back, one or two bullets out of a ten round mag would come out of the trap and hit me or land near me from 30 feet away :-(

Looked at it several times trying to figure out what was causing the bullet ejection, it is a snail type with angled back plate. Finally solved the issue with mounting a thin durable rubber skirt in front of the trap mouth opening, though I still don't trust that 100%. Mostly, when testing a suppressor or function testing ammo I use a hard wood 4x4 and shoot into it. Mini Mag will only go in about an 1/8", standard velocity slightly less.
