Just another MS880 build.

[Lightning Performance]

Nope. I don't own a degree wheel nor would I take time on a stock work saw.

Running it...I've run enough big ones it's lost the fun factor. That one I have run a bit and unless that 42" bar is buried its not that impressive.

I ran two stock ones with 36" bars and one with a 31". Unimpressive and too heavy for my taste.

The owner of the company is the only one to run that saw. If I guessed a crane pick swung in or leaned that way and got it. Normal use is flush cutting stumps or when lifting large crane picks.

That crane seems a likely opps deal. Or....*s-word happens.

If it wasn't for Saun the saw would have been junked. The cost of a crane for a day to pick trees dwarfs the cost of an 880/3120. Normally from what I have seen it's an $8,000 day when a crane rolls up. The saw is the cheapest part of a tree operation.

It would have been a shame to see it scrapped. I'm currently fixing 3 394/5 cases that would have shared a similar fate.

I agree...its also a shame the way the saw is treated.

Are all the cases & clutch covers magnesium or are some aluminum on different brands of saws.

All mag.

Just for grins, I priced magnesium tig filler once. HOLY COW!

The blue demon brand filler is cheaper. So far I haven’t been able to tell a difference from Harris.

If gluing a jug down I do it the same.. then add 518/MotoSeal/etc on the flanges while holding the jug up with the piston in. Crank needs to be at TDC. Much easier than trying to get the piston in over a glued flange.

I motosealed my 360. It was a PITA to get the rings in the jug without hitting the sealer.

I had a Glock 39, I'm actually a big fan of the GAP.

I like the 37 it fits my hand

Is the 39 bigger

The gap is lighter recoil wise and its smooth

Is that the exhaust? It looks like one of the cast-iron exhaust risers on my marine GM 350!
