Yep, Shaun Carr is the guy you want to reach out to...

For some reason I thought Husqvarna started putting a newer, beffier muffler on the more recent 592xps. I got a new one from Bruce at HL Supply a year or so ago and it seemed (and felt) a little heavier than than the one that came on it. Probably a 5 year old saw for what it's worth.

Thanks Joe. I'm definitely out of my element trying to do something like that...

I'd like to add captive bar nuts to a 461 and that video sure seemed slick, but I have absolutely no idea of how to go about doing something like. Is anyone able to explain it for an idiot like me?

Price drop to $1,000 plus actual shipping from 28105.

For sale is my Mastermind 592xp. It's a big, well ported saw and performs as such. I've ran it with echo red armor at 40:1 with ethanol free gas. Thanks to Bruce at HL Supply I replaced the original muffler with the newer model (thicker metal). The inner spike dog mount broke last year. I...

Yeah, those chains with the frozen links soaked in old motor oil for months. Didn't help them at all.

The standard/original Duke's chain is a copy of the Husqvarna Xcut. It has a pronounced top plate "lip" and is very aggressive right out of the box. The blue label chain is a copy of Stihl RS. Same metal is used for both chains.

Lol. Not hard to do if you cut a lot of logs on the ground and only run sharp chains. I wouldn't very awed by that number - more of a testament of me not doing a very good job at keeping my chain out the dirt and swapping chains often...lol.

The loops of chains I have right now are the Husqvarna c83 xcut and the Duke's original chain. The Duke's chain is basically a copy of the xcut with the exaggerated top plate which makes both it and the xcut very aggressive out of the box. Probably have 9 or 10 loops of each brand currently...

But where's the sticker?...lol

I've also been told by a very reputable porter that the engine doesn't have as much "meat" as he thinks it should which in his mind could lead to durability/longevity issues. All that said, I love the saw and wouldn't hesitate to buy another one if something happens to this one. It's super...

Well, I've had a MMWS 592xp for at least 3 years now. Dealer support kinda depends on where you're located I suppose. The common complaint I hear from my dealer is how long it takes to get parts from Husqvarna. I had Duke at Saw Salvage tell me the same thing. Fortunately I haven't really...

Reduced to $350 plus actual shipping from 28105.

Spoke with the Duke today. He said he's waiting for an order to come in on chain in .050. Said it'll be at least a month.
