Finally ready for its trip to GA. View attachment 142671 View attachment 142672 View attachment 142673 View attachment 142674 View attachment 142675

Now that is slick. Nothing like an 044, and a ported one -- OH MY!

I think that saw might be to nice for GA, maybe PA is a better place to ship it.lol beautiful work Mike, Joe is a lucky fellow for sure and for anyone who hasn't ran a CFB hybrid, you are really missing out! Mike builds some great saws!

If I have it in time you will see them together in person at Randys. The 066 is wearing a Tsumura 28" L&T and I have a matching 25" for the Hybrid.

I ran Mustang Mike's CFB 044/046 Hybrid yesterday. All I can say is WOW! I ran it when just put together at NY GTG. It ran good but was still tight. It is all broken in now and runs very strong.

Mike that is one purdy saw you built there, ain't no doubt about it. After running a CFB hybrid a little over a week ago for the first time, I can say, Joe you're in for a treat.

Mike is meticulous and does them right. No cutting corners. Pays attention to detail.
Mike's a great guy to boot!

My 044 is a great running saw, my favorite with a 20" bar. However, the ported Hybrids have almost 10% more displacement, and it shows. They are my favorite saws with 28" light bars. My MOFO 460 also wears a 28" bar. It is a little heavier, and has a touch more torque (but maybe less speed), but it is nice to have the full arsenal available to suit your needs.

A few weeks ago my MOFO 460 and CFB Hybrid made short work of bucking up this 30" White Oak. It would have taken the 044 a little longer.

@MustangMike

I had the exact same reaction - WOW!! I like my Huskies, but Mike's hybrid is one Stihl I would like to own.
