    Arrow MS 440 - You All Said It Couldn't Be Found

    Second new saw in a week. Lately, I've started to realize that I wish I had an MS 440. So I went down to buy one...fat chance...they're sold-out! That was the general word on AS as well. I figured there had to be atleast one somewhere? I started to look, I was prepared to travel the PNW in order to find one...I expected the endeavor to be time consuming...

    Yeah right...my first phone call to a little small STIHL shop and Bang...there it was...brand new MS 440 (R)! Did I buy it...you betcha! Now I have two saws to break-in, MS 460 and a MS 440. This is a terrible burden that life is forcing me to bear...I'll try and grind my way through it!

    I picked the saw up with 25" bar, but I think I may throw a 20" on it just for fun and drop the 361 down to 18". For now, 25" & up will probably go the 460. The camera that I'm using is somewhat sub par, but it works.

    Best Regards,
    OLY-JIM

    I assume that you're preparing to launch an offensive in order to recover it?

    Nah, I have enough saws at the moment. But for the right person wanting it I will help them out, for a small fee of course. Mow told me who has it but I don't need it.

    Naturally...that which is worth doing is often worth doing for a small fee.

    i never said it couldn't be found.

    i believe anything can be found if you look hard enough.my buddy found a brand new 056 super the year before last.never had fuel in it.there is a new 090 here but i haven't had time to go there yet.

    if i had time i'd look for an 38mag.

    The new 440s are stihl out there. You just have to know where to look, I can think of 3 now. However, the prices will not be dropping much if any at all.
