MS462

[Deets066]

For those who like powerful lever guns, I have a.348 Winchester Mdl 71 Deluxe and a Browning Repro Mdl 95 in 30-06.

My Uncle used to have a Mdl 95 in 405, and an 86 in 50-110.

I also have a 94 Buffalo Bill Commemorative in 30-30 with a 26" Octagon barrel. Had to bring my Mother with me to purchase it in 1969, but in 1970 I was old enough to purchase my Remington 870 on my own. Still have both of them.

We have a gun thread now Mike. It’s in off topic

I got a bolt Stevens carbine in 30-30..

One piece stock.. broken. Not sure where to find another.

If it's the Stevens 325 it is simply a rebadged Savage 340. Boyd's gunstocks makes replacements.

Sorry, I know. Off topic. Just trying to help.

Back on track. The 462 @13 lbs and 6 hp is impressive. Dang I'd like to run one someday.

50-110 in a lever gun musta been fun. I had a Shilo Sharps Long Range Express in 50-140, that was a bit unpleasant. I had Shilo rebarrel it to 45-70.

Who's porting it?

A guy named Terry. You ever heard of him?

@Mastermind if he would ever stop posting pics of Hooskies and guns.

Nice. Let us know how you like it!

What will you be comparing it against?

I have owned a MS660 and wanted a lighter saw that would take a 28" bar.

Have a ms362, so I'm hoping the 462 will split the difference.
My small saw is a ms261.

The 462 is significantly lighter than a 660 (about the same as a 362 unless you have a Ver II) and should do just fine with a 28" light bar on it.

My 462 and MMWS 261 Ver II is all I need 99% of the time.

It won’t have the torque of the 660 but it should do ok with 28 if you don’t run too aggressive of a chain in hardwood.

 

[MustangMike]

I'll bet it out cuts it with a 28".

You feel no need to MMWS the 462?

My 064 beat your 462 at the ct gtg Mike and it’s smaller than a 066.

 

[RI Chevy]

You run same B&C???

 

[huskyboy]

I don’t remember but my 064 beats a ported 461 same b/c... stock 462 isn’t hanging with my 064

 

[huskihl]

I bet your 064 beats a 660 with a 28 though. 066 and 660 are quite different

I can’t say I’m knowledgeable on these stihls, all I know is that there is no way a stock 462 is beating my 064. Maybe when hell freezes over?

I would imagine you're correct. 15cc is a lot of ground to make up

 

[Nutball]

I think 28" is no problem on a ported 70cc. At that length I'd be using skip chain anyway to save on sharpening time. I do know a 28" full comp on a stock 70cc is pretty slow in hard wood.

 

[TreeLife]

Yep. 15cc of a 70cc saw is what? 18% or something? That's a big difference.

 

[huskyboy]

Plus the 064 is not strato (not sure if that matters or not?) and the carb is larger.

It begs the question... is strato a hinderance to performance or a gain in performance vs a regular two stroke?
