Welcome, friend. You may want to reach out to Kris at S&S Worksaws, he is a member here. Kris did a woods port and increased compression on my CS-500P and it turned out fantastic. He was doing a limited number of these for free + shipping cost to gain experience and get his name out there, maybe...

Over on the Cast Boolits forum there are many stories about Taurus and Rossi service being bad. I have a Taurus 85 that is in for service right now. The barrel is twisted a bit to the right, causing groups to land to the left. The revolver actually shoots great otherwise. All they have to do is...

I buy Taurus and Rossi guns knowing full well that their customer service is not much above none at all.

Stihl had a weird transition period where they were making saws with a cylinder slanted between vertical and horizontal, like the 045 and 056.

The 400 is my favorite Echo saw of all. My biggest problem with the catalyst is all that extra heat right next to the cylinder. Its strange how some Echo saws have it and others don't.

Looks like a Partner and an Alpina had a baby.

I was thinking Mitsubishi aka Green Machine.

That's a really good deal. I do wish Smith would put a half lug on it though, that extra rod of metal under the barrel just doesn't look right to my eyes.

I think the .460 would be a dandy lever action round and all three rounds should feed in the same action. The Marlin 1895 would be perfect for it, Ruger are you listening?

If that was at the car dealership I used to work at, they would have made him general manager and the secretary would get promoted to something that pays well with no definable duties.

The 400, and Echoes in general, don't like to run incredibly rich. There comes a point pretty quickly where you're just making fumes with no gain in performance. Even my ported CS-500P does best just a little richer than the service manual setting. Whereas it seems like Stihls and many old...

16" bar with good semi-chisel is perfect for the 400, it's what both of mine wear. My saws are tuned a bit fatter than factory setting, maybe each screw 1/4 a turn out more. I gave my newer one some exercise on Saturday in fact. I noticed the muffler was wet at first, so I gradually turned both...

Archerplus on Fleabay is really good, I've bought Tsumura bars from them before. They answer questions quickly and their prices are very reasonable.

I'm gonna bet that blower was also sold under the Green Machine name, maybe see if you can match it up?

In my experience, Taurus is a pretty safe bet if you stick with guns they have made forever like the .38 and .357 revolvers and the G2/G3 series. When it comes to the more exotic and oddball stuff you have better odds of success in a casino. If I'm touching off a .454 in a handgun it better say...
