Hoping this was an oil thread, jk. Tough to answer which, varies from saw to saw. Overall I’d say flow is more important. For instance, how much compression do you really want for a work saw?

Oregon reduced weight bars were the lightest ever made, but the 36” I sold would flop all over starting a cut. Stihl are probably the best all around, just run an adapter and mill the slot out 1/2” longer. My 2171 has stihl studs

Found this on Facebook, maybe someone interested could find out more but I think it should find a good collector. https://www.facebook.com/share/17YgkLnqzE/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Yeah I have the same problem when it’s hot. My feet are always warm and goretex sucks in the summer.

My favorite boots, danner quarry 2 I got off eBay used and had them rebuilt, still less than new. Most comfortable boots I’ve had in a long time. But they’re 600g insulation so no good for over 50 degree weather.

I’ve been looking at Irish setter shorewoods. I can’t justify new danner quarry because they’re $350 garbage now. I have several older pairs of danners that have outlived 3-4 pairs of newer ones.

I’ll see what I have

That’s how I see it. Probably be a limited number or one year only run.

Hard to tell, just like the new X bars, there’s only a few of those out even in Europe yet.

Has anyone heard if they will be a production model for sale?

They made them once upon a time so I’m sure they still have the jig.

I imagine if you call them they will make one. I inquired about of they would make one for an ms880 and they came out with one months later.

If a 3/8” is useful I could probably get rid of one.

He’s pretty particular who he ports for so take that as you will.

Keep the 461 for sure, I had 2 that I modified and wish I still had both. Most people seem to like the 500i for weight and throttle response.
