That is correct sir, thank you. It looks like this ring will fit from a 338xpt: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Piston-Rin...-/400324530460?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

I purchased a 372xp xtorq piston from lil red barn 2 years ago and the quality was very good.
I don’t know about their mcculloch parts but the husky pistons were decent.

Old thread, new post. I just found it. I've bought a dozen of their pop ups in the last six months or so. I've installed all but two. No problems here except with one. And it's a newly released piston. I think I have the man's word he is going to work with me on it until it's right.
Their forgings are not OEM quality, but how many are? They do good holding accurate tolerances. That's very important to me.
Sure helped pick up my 550 mark ll. And other saws.
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
I know I am critical some times when I shouldn't be. It's human nature I guess. The way I see it they are providing us non lathe owners with some serious firepower out of a box at good prices.
If they hit a speed bump, I hope they work it out. All the better for a performance hobbyist such as myself. Or any number of saw hobbyists on this forum and others.
. If Meteor wants to jump into the chainsaw pop up piston business, I'm good with that. But right now they aren't doing it. The huge conglomerate they are.
Good luck Little Red Barn! I hope you do good with your pop up pistons.

Thats good to hear. I bought one of their pistons, cant remember if its a pop up or not. But the piston was *s-wordl. No compresssion what so ever. Went with hyway. It didnt turn me away from them, but they arent my first or second option. But, in saying that, dont have that much experience with them.
