this GTG seems like a go, although i have many saws, none are anything past a MM. still allowed? & learn at the show with my son? maybe return next year with something sweet to play with?
I'm in the same boat. It'll be good to run stock saws next to the ported ones. Just remember, there is no turning back. If you don't have CAD yet, you will after next Sunday!

Iam always looking myself for saws to ad to collection. I have a ton of vintage saws / parts saws I could bringI was thinkin the same, I'm sure others would consider buying. Excellent opportunity to test run before purchase

spike 60 ,I was just down your way on my bike.your not far at all from me.I have a couple odd balls I might bring if I can get them up in running in time .I love the older saws ,40s-60sDon't be thinking that way. This GTG is about more than just ported saws, so bring whatever you got. I may not bring any ported stuff at all. I mean how many worked 372's and such do we need to have there? I'm more interested in seeing saws that I don't see every day. I might just go off in a different direction and bring some older oddball saws; the "heavy metal" saws. Maybe a project or two to sort out.
As far as porting yourself goes, a lot can be gained with basic tools by anyone who can rebuild a saw, and some sharing of ideas with guys would be both fun and helpful. Granted, if you want to go all the way to the top, then you have to send it out to the pros; the guys that I refer to as the "big leagues". But, AAA ball is pretty good too, and you'd be surprised at what you can do yourself.
Husky Saws Iam bringing to have fun with . 2-3120, 181e,281,380,480,2100,2101,266,353 ported myself.

87 is the quickestanyone have suggestion for the route from the canadian border.
last time I went in 2013 I took the 87 all the way down but this time I'm thinking I will try the 89 then rte 7 then 22a then 23 then 40 then rte 29. any locals know a reason not to take that route. Google maps has 30 miles less but the same travel time. Any of those roads dirt??
since we are talking swap meet, I have an stihl 021 (my first saw) with low compression scored cylinder I need to get rid of. it has a slightly used 16 " bar .325 .063 gauge and new crank seals comes with three chains one RM safety, one RM and an RS
