Calling Jacob J - a Remington roller nose bar question

[exSW]

I just picked up this sweet saw with an equally sweet RN bar...

View attachment 26541

It would look sweet on D-Daves shelf!

Look nice here also. Isn't that a Homelite Super EZ ?


Ah, maybe not.

For my non-stihl saws I like a saw that looks badass, what kinda offerings should I be on the lookout for in a Remy?

Examples of great looking saws (to me ): pioneer 650 and 620, strunk speed demon, that sexy yellow and chrome beast of Lee's from the NY GTG
there are plenty of other saws I want because they are cool like a wankel Dolmar but for pure sexy looks.....

Ya betta not be afta the Remmies i ain't got. Ya find any 880's
you just betta ship em to me. Or else.

whatcha lookin for in a bar for trade Kevin?

About anything, modern bar, a part etc. Came in on a trade for my labor with a bunch of other stuff guessing couple years ago.

I didnt want it as I had sold and traded all my roller nose bars off already.

I have modern bars, I have parts - give me a little guidance or I will wander around the shop for two hours and still be empty handed or shoot me a message next time ya need something.

All the Remington bars I've come up with have been .058" guage.
Sucks because .404" X .058" has become scarce.

If you want it just say and I'll ship or hold it till we figure it out. Not much calling for these things local.

Huh. Most of mine are 3/8 .050 including that big sucker.

Jon1212 had access to .058" stuff a while ago, I don't recall if any of it was .404.

 

[jacob j.]

I keep a couple rolls of NOS .404" x .058" around just because...

I've also got some 1/2" x .058" around somewhere.

Always some 404 058 on bay. 100' Rolls. partial and loops.

Right now 58 full roll, 51L partial, plus loops FS

Best deal

google showed me some 880 Super pics of a restored saw that are gorgeous
looks like most of those saws are very similar (aside from the super) so that gives me more chances to find a decent one when I go looking, I do like the slotted bantam cover best but the others have a lot nicer look to the recoil side

I'd been drooling over the restored 880 Super on Darrin's site (that belongs to his brother) for quite some time before I scored my 880 Super at a garage sale for $50. I also scored some parts for it about four years ago on ebay. It's coming up as one of my restore projects this summer after I get some saws rebuilt for some members here.

My girl friends deceased husband who was one of best friends had his fathers Remington .It was something on the order of 7 cubic inches . Talk about a bone shaker and loud enough to raise the dead .Not real fast but my gawk did it have the grunt .

 

[Redfin]

Looking at Clints saw and thinking of some of the other good running "craftsman" saw just chaps my ass thinking about what that name has deteriorated into.

I take my 20+ year old rachet to be replaced and only use it momentarily to have it break again.

Sorry, rant off.

 

[Al Smith]

They were "rebuilding " rachets for a while .Instead of a brand new one it had a new mechanism inside an old case . Penny wise but pound foolish .

Bar is NLA. Glad you can give it a home Dave.
