The big chain is full comp, chip, 3/8...carbide
I'll most likely make a couple 24" chains out of it and switch the tip to 404.
Muffler will get a 2nd port and I'll swap on a wrap handle but that's probably all I'll do to it

I have some face's I would love to stick there.....They are over on AS thoughShould shop in Al's face![]()
Well with all due respect that is impossible to answer. I will tell you that in this area they are not worth a penny. Coyotes are vermin and have zero value as a hide. We have a 365 day hunting season on them. We are allowed to night hunt with thermal imaging during the trapping season which is November 10-February 15. It is possible a fur buyer might give you a couple bucks for one that was trapped .....thus not had it's guts blown out with a AR-15 like those pictured. You would have to stretch and dry it though. Awhile back there was a guy on this site wanting a full round jaw #4 or #5 coil spring to use as a doorbell. I tried explaining that those basically were never made. The full rounds are only in smaller ones. I searched out what I could and spoke with a lot of folks in Canada and the northern part of the USA. I found one guy in Conrod MT that builds large round coils. In my conversations I heard that up north the coyotes actually have value but of course they are nothing like the vermin we have here.what are the pelts selling for these days?
I've been thinking about setting up my old trap line
Rise from what.................I overheard a couple old timers at the gas station talking about fur prices on the rise, making it worthwhile to dust off the traps, but everyone else I asked laughed and said no way is that true.
5250 inch uni-fence eh
I stand corrected....them extra 2 inches are a plus
For some, two inches make all the differencethem extra 2 inches are a plus
I had used the Biesemeyers quite a lot working in in cabinet shops before I got this saw. I prefer the Uni, hands down. I have used the fence in ‘flat’ mode quite a bit cutting thin, small stock. Found this old Uni saw at a garage sale for $400 many years ago. It had been left outside and been rained on…with the base full of sawdust, oops. I completed stripped it down, replaced bearings, belts, had the cabinet sandblasted, repainted it and built folding tables that allowed for a small footprint in the garage when not in use. Now it goes back and forth as a table saw and a workbench for chainsawsI stand corrected....them extra 2 inches are a plus
I spent three years teaching woods in two separate school districts. In the morning the district I was in had a uni-fence on theirs. In the afternoon I drove 10 miles east to a school that had two sweet Delta/Rockwell saws. One had a 50/52" uni-fence and the other had a 50/52" Biesemeyer. I much preferred the Biesemeyer but the uni-fence was great also. One of the advantage of the Biesemeyer was the ability to run left of the blade without detaching it
Is this the new one you got?This thing has maybe 5-10hrs on it. Hardly anything to clean.
Yup. I swapped to a wrap handle…had one, new…and will do the muffler and put it on the shelf…somewhere…I need more shelvesIs this the new one you got?
That's a really nice looking saw!!Yup. I swapped to a wrap handle…had one, new…and will do the muffler and put it on the shelf…somewhere…I need more shelves![]()
Yea, pretty, but I have 2 smaller, lighter Stihl’s with more hp/torque, so…That's a really nice looking saw!!
