Mine has been holding up well. It is on the heavy side but solid.

Was trying to find a d176 orange gb bar 3/8 .050. Closest I found was d009 18" 3/8 .058 on sale for $11, no one knows if they make d176 or not. Left coast or GB hasn't returned email about it.

The saw that @Red97 ported is running strong and reliable. My dad seems to be running it more than me. However, I used it to cut down the family Christmas tree on Friday. I had not used it for a month or so and after two pulls she fired up and idled well. If I had to run a saw all day it would be this one. It has balls and doesn't wear you out. Anti vibe is still top notch.

It has a really cool, deeper tone.

It's running a modified Sugi k095 18" with .325 Stihl RS chain. It cuts very nice.

Only thing I did to Joe's saw is replace the screen with 1/8" stainless mesh

Did the same on the @Poleman ported 5100s

The 421 sure was a different animal for me.

Just glad I got the opportunity to fondle it a bit

I think any lubrication will collect dust and gum up the works. Actually I know.

Teflon spray is dry lube, Kind of like a dust as soon as the carrier substance evaporates.

There's more in that saw. Loop of Stihl PS,cat delete,lean it out a little maybe. I run 59dl on a old Windsor . Rips.View attachment 27264

Also,German tolerances. Takes them a while to break in. This little saw takes me to the bank.

Hi Niko

I run 56dl Oregon 3/8 vxl on a mini Windsor. “Rips” is modest, and accurate. It’s not a modern 50cc, but it’s something special for sure. In small wood, under 14”, I swear I can cut 2.5x what my new Stihl 261 can. By the time it needs gas/oil, I need a water break. There is something to be said for the torque and smoothness this saw brings to the table. It flat out pulls a 14 inch bar. It makes a ms-250 look like a crude and smelly tool.

I think I've figured out a solution to the roadblocks. I think they should just bolt on. Big C3M should flow enough right? 192t flywheel should spin a little fasterView attachment 19893

Did you try any of this??

 

[Backtroller]

No that was a just a joke.
