Old saw but from what I've read on here they are keepers I'm going to do a few comparisons with the two and also a Husqvarna 61. I also have a 044 that I'm going to do a O/S build with, I've seen ppl are doing a 52mm with these husky and Jonsered, I did this same thing about 3 yrs ago with a 038av... I ran a 28" bar and worked the P out of the saw. It has a new owner now one year in and still ripping sh*t up. I will be taking note of what I see in similarities and differences. Staaay Tuned!!
