Of course I have no experience with things in Europe, just going on what I know about saws over here.
Stihl ms 660 real or fake ?

My guess was that its fake before I read the reply's. Then I noticed this.

It's a pig with lipstick... Underneath it is still a PIG!
This is a common tactic with the bootleggers... They'll put genuine OEM external cosmetic covers on a clone Chinese saw. The other give-away is the sticker on the front of the crankcase, which if genuine, should have been a part number/model number/serial number label. At least that is the way it is in the States.

wow, that does appear to be a darn good fake. if i was into boat anchors they wouldve had me!
CPT? Nope!
They should find the source and run over them at the dock with a bulldozer. Like they did the 090 clones that had the Stihl logo cast into them a few years back.

Total fake i could spout a bunch of stihl policies. Blah blah Blah
But as with anything on the internets if it seems to good it is to be true it is.

My closest “ dealer “ is 45 minutes away, haven’t been there in yrs. I’m not really that brand specific, but I do have my favorites. My big Saw is an old 064, firewood saw is a 350 Husky, top handle Saw is a MS 200t. There are many others, but these are my go to saws. All saws matter!

I will work on any of them. I buy Husky parts at the Husky dealer too, but only because he hooks me up with a steady stream of projects. Last haul was three MS362s.My closest “ dealer “ is 45 minutes away, haven’t been there in yrs. I’m not really that brand specific, but I do have my favorites.

so what hope is there for the normal regular "saw 5 cord of wood per year guy"when he see's a listing like this? There is no way the average guy would know that his saw was a fake. Good catch on the spark plug make.

No hope. There's people out there buying clones KNOWING what they're buying
Now that was insightful! Thanks for sharing.
