The end of an icon......the final (2) 395 Husqvarna saws

[Bill G]

For a few years now have been hearing rumors that the 395 is going to be NLA in the USA.................



I bought (4) new ones in 2022 when their death was rumored

Then I bought (4) new ones in 2023 as the rumors were still running wild

Then in 2024 for the hell of it I bought (4) more new ones.

Well as we near the end of 2025 Bruce says these are the last (2)

I love the saws and so do all the folks in my area. I fired it up tonight and took a youtube video. I will try to link it. I ran a comp test and it looked good. I have...

Here is another of the Husqvarna 395's. This was bought new in December 2021 and was used for falling here. It is a well seasoned saw but is still decent and clean. It was retired because it was getting a lot of time on it. The compression reading shows that. It has sat a spell but was running and cutting last week albeit hard starting.

One of the muffler bracket bolts is also missing. I want to be...
