Have any of you ever received a OE cylinder that came with circlips,wrist pin bearing and decompression plug but no piston or rings?
Just a question about OEM husky 372 cylinders

Where did you order/buy it from? If it was off the web, did the site mention what all came with it?
Baileys online. The 250$ kit. I know it's chrome but don't run my saws as a logger. I port them and cut firewood so chrome should last a good while for me. But in the description it states piston and rings.
They took forever and a day to even had it over to the postal service. Then it took a a week and a half to get to my post office. It was out for delivery Friday. Come 30 mins to closing I go and ask about it. I wasn't mad just curious. I was told by post master she will send the guy back over with the package. I then get a message saying could not deliver do to animal interference... Was told Saturday it will arrive. Well it didn't show up until a few hours ago. Kinda been a bad experience lol and this was the first order I placed with them. I thought they were one of the better sites for OEM
I was under the impression that 99% of cylinders come with piston. because using a broken in piston would have *f-worded up tolerances. Also because if your replacing the cylinder chances are the piston is shot. From what I've seen If I'm not mistaken farmer tech the only cylinders that come as just that. Unless bought used. But it's not used

No, somebody probably took the piston & rings and returned it…or something like that.

It doesn't matter that it is chrome or not, its is what you wanted and ordered. I think this is the link:
Husqvarna OEM Cylinder Assembly (50mm) for 371, 372 Chainsaws 593665504
As you said, it stated "OEM Cylinder Assembly from Husqvarna. This stock kit includes a piston, rings, pin, clips, and cylinder. Cylinder is chrome plated with a 50mm bore." Picture even shows it:
I agree, it was probably a return that was put back on the shelf without verifying that all was there. Less of a chance, but it could have come from the factory like that if the box was all sealed.
I agree here too, get with Bailey's and let them know the situation. I had to do this once with Duke's, I got a new clutch cover and it was missing the chain-brake spring. I figured that it might have been a return and someone swiped the spring (odd thing was there weren't any tool marks on the screws or clutch cover). They let me know that it wasn't a return and came from the factory that way (one-in-a-million) and were willing to bend over backwards to make it right. Hopefully Bailey's will come through for you, I have gotten stuff from in the past without any issues. This might be your one-in-a-million and time to go buy a lottery ticket!!

I'd rather have Chrome cylinders...
I've seen some weird things with ordering in the last few years... I'm willing to bet that Baileys will make it right.

Why? I'm just curious. Does it chip less or is it because the process has been around longer?
I've sent an email but no response yet. I'm not in a rush or anything like that. Just kinda frustrated the way it all worked out. Luckily I had a brand new Meteor with some iron rings. But I'd rather it the saw remain all OEM.

Just preference. Dollars to dimes, I think most everything is Nikasil nowadays... I should look up who makes what cylinders with chrome bores.

No. If you ordered it as a kit it should have came with piston also. You can order OEM pistons and cylinders separate but clearly you ordered the kit you need to call them. I live a hour and half from them so if something like this happen to me I would just drive down to there shop and chew there asses they know better than to make that kind of mustache they charged you for the complete kit they should have sent you the complete kit.....

Nope just a good old wooden paddle works.
skinning cats with belt Sanders? But I prefer a surface grinder followed by a 10 bench grinder course wire wheel.... Side note wooden paddle!!!! Ive had plenty of those broken on me. Kids these days won't know what its like to come home from school just to see your still active duty baby boomer father standing in the door way with every single wooden spoon and paddle he could find in the house. I'm talking *f-wording rambo belt across the chess and *f-wording holsters everywhere!!! Duel wielding paddles with a armpit spin reload like they were shotguns....... (It was at that moment he realized he *f-worded up!!!!)Nope just a good old wooden paddle works.
