I ordered a 3 pack, figured what the hell for that price. I wound up getting one in the mail. Promptly returned and refunded.
Supporting blatant theft? Is there current patents on any of it? Also, for me, it was 100% a curiosity... got a wall of Genuine stihl RS and oregon all sourced from the local brick and mortars that i have worked at for the last 10 yrs... theres exactly 2 chains on this wall that are copy chains...How can these Chinese companies with all these shell names like "V-modest" get away with literally copying current Stihl chainsaw product and then selling it on United States-based websites like eBay and Amazon? I've often wondered what stihl and husqvarna think about their product development being copied.
Always surprised I guess, how cheap people can be, to support this blatant theft. It's disingenuous, the whole way round.
Agreed. I have no issues supporting Dukes or HL, crap my 661 wouldnt be running if it werent for HLSupply... or Mastermind and his collaboration with Cross (chinese company) cylinders to come up with a ported stock option, which is a great starting point to port further off of, and not worry about ruining a $400 jug....View attachment 421985View attachment 421988
It was hard to pay around 20.00 a stihl chain year's ago
I'll be damn if i pay what they want now.
And this Bridgeport equipment was built near my friends 40+ stihl dealership
To steal his business after telling him for decades no other stihls would be sold in his areas by anybody but him.
And take that made in China *B-S.... to AS
This is a forum on one of the biggest if not the biggest online aftermarket parts
Stores on the Internet.

If i see something cheaper i buy it.
You do not want to see my HL bills.Agreed. I have no issues supporting Dukes or HL.........
