If this isn’t allowed, please delete: I’ve got a 458 Socom upper for an AR-15 platform I’m considering parting with. It’s accurate and I’ve killed a deer with it - head shot on a button buck at 81 yards, confirmed. Would include: - 10.5” pistol length upper w/9” M-Loc hand guard, and tank style...

I just picked up a couple loops of Carlton chain to try. Fella that sold them to me says the same parent company that owns Oregon bought Carlton, but that Carlton is still made in the US the same way it’s always been. He claims the teeth are just as hard, if not harder, than Stihl chain…...

Has anyone tried putting a 460 crank in a 440? If that’s not possible, has anyone tried putting a 440 top end on a 460? I would think it would have a lot of torque with wither conversion. Thoughts?

Hey fellas, looking at getting some custom t-shirts and hoodies made. I’ve poked around on CustomInk and also VistaPrint websites and both seem easy to navigate and design. . Wondering if there’s another place any of you with first hand experience have ordered from, are happy with, or would...

I’ve seen this discussed a time or 2, about cutting dirty wood, and have read guys saying that they bring “X” amount of spare chains along, or they bring 17 saws so that they don’t have to change chains, etc. . . I took a few pictures today after bucking up my log landing, to help show what’s...

Not a sudden thing by any means, but it sure seems like everyone thinks their junk is worth gold. Marketplace has always been a go-to source for me to find a “deal” but the last several months, there are no deals to be had. At least not here. Is it a regional thing? Where do you guys find...

I’ve got some parts, and I’m accumulating more, to eventually build an 044/046 hybrid. I’d like to own one of those. I’d also like an 064 some day. Preferably ported! What saws are on your wish list?

Figured I’d start a thread where all Volunteer, Full Time, Retired, and newbie fire fighters can share stories, experiences, photos (use your judgement - no active investigation pics please) and ideas. Myself, I currently have 9 years experience with Altura Fire Dept. Been a Co-Training...

I’ve owned a couple of these trucks and love ‘em - no matter what my wife says! Here’s specs on my daily work truck for my owner/operator logging business: 1999 2500 24v Cummins and NV4500 bolt action behind it. Has Dana 80 rear. Not a perfect truck, but dang close. I use it as a tool, and it...

On a saw that can pull it, say 90cc class, what is more efficient: Lowering the rakers and dogging in with a 7 pin sprocket, OR keeping rakers “in check” and running faster chain speed with an 8 pin sprocket?

Let me first say that I understand that most Woods Porting includes a Muffler Mod, Ignition/Timing advance or correction, and possibly even carb work depending on the builder, all above and beyond the actual machine work and hand massaging of the ports by the skilled hands.. It seems that I’ve...

Had a lot of fun last week in Texas hunting some hogs. A few firsts for me: First time in Oklahoma, first time in Texas, first time hunting hogs, first time (legally) driving 75mph on a 2 lane road - I liked that! Believe it or not, it was the wife’s idea to go on this hunt for our 10 year...

I tried the search but couldn’t find anything, even though I’m sure one of you wizards has done this already: I have a 441cm and I want to eliminate the M-Tronic on this particular saw and I’m wondering if it’s just bolting on a new flywheel, ignition, master switch, and carb? And before we get...

I’m looking for a Stihl PolyCut head for my FS 130 and my local dealer told me they were discontinued... I’m a bit skeptical because these heads have been around for a long time, and fit a large range of straight shaft trimmers. Any Stihl Dealer employees/owners verify if they are available? I...

Anyone had this happen? This is the 3rd in a row for me... and yes, they say CHINA right on them. But they always have and I haven’t seen them give this kind of trouble before. Looks like a manufacturing defect as straight as the break is. And all of them have broken this way. At least my...

Working on an 028 Super. Needs a fuel hose. My local Stihl dealer says it’s NLA (I like to run OEM fuel hoses). Went to my next favorite source, HLSProParts and they do not offer a fuel hose for the 028 which I found disappointing and kinda shocking to be honest. A quick Google search led me to...

Saw is completely apart. Saw only has a couple tanks of fuel through it from new. Pin Bearing failed, but I’m assuming from an air leak. (See pics). What’s included: Complete saw, in pieces New coil New carb New air filter backing plate and flange New Cross brand crank seals. Background: The...

Disclaimer: I don’t expect much out of this, but it was on the shelf and I have the time.. So I discovered a little problem with my MS460 yesterday while looking it over after an impact it received.. I found the upper AV mount broken, and worse, an ear from the case also broken.. The ol’...

Do any of you have experience owning/operating or working on one of these? I’m considering purchasing one from my neighbor and I took a good look at it and drove it around a bit the other day. Seems like a good machine, just all manual. Is powered by the Cummins 4BT. Only issue I noticed is the...

Can anyone answer with certainty whether the 661’s crankcase is magnesium or aluminum? I need mine repaired/welded if possible. A little over a year ago the corner of the case that the inside spike mounts to, broke off. I repaired it by adding a bolt through both felling spikes. While this...
