Thanks for offering that! I actually started talking with a local guy yesterday who ports saws for his friends and himself. He has a lathe and tooling for machining jigs. I might be meeting with him next week and handing off some cylinders. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll reach out to ya.

This has probably already been discussed to death, but where do you guys buy your handles? Every damn one I’ve seen at the farm and hardware stores are twisted or misaligned

I know where several of those are available brand new… for $1300/apiece

And 031/032

Three shots at 100yd to confirm zero for elk season. 15mph wind from the back right of me, and I know that I pulled the one a little bit.

Ah, you’re right. I forgot about the extension.

Hey, I’m thinking I might do a little bit of basic grinding on my 394 with KS cylinder. Still need to map it out, but I do know that it has pretty big squish even with the base gasket removed. I might try sanding it on a glass plate and taking measurements to remove about .007”-.010” from the...

does the max flow filter just bolt right up on a 361? I’ve never seen or ran a 361

I bought a couple of bars from Mike a few months ago and I had a great experience. He even machined the Stihl mount bar so I could use it on a Husky with a bar adapter. I can’t afford to have LW bars on everything, so having a selection of lengths that can be ran on both Stihl and Husqvarna saws...

I don’t know how chokecherry does for smoking wood, but I noticed how tight the rings are. This tree is 30+ years old but only 2” in diameter.

Making smoker wood

I appreciate it, but I already have all the pieces except for a crank and cases. I’d buy yours, but then I’d have two saws on my hands lol. I might know somebody who is interested though
