038 at pawn shop?

[Big Block]

It's priced at $220 I can get it for less is it worth it?

Magnum? What's the condition like? The 038 is one of the best saws Stihl has ever produced.

Not a mag from what I remember. It's a little rough needs a new rope and handle. Didn't look at the piston yet

Guy I work with has an 038 Magnum. I think it's 77ish cc's. It pulls a 32" with authority.

Hmmmmm maybe I'll stop by tomorrow

038 mag is 72cc. 038 is 62cc and the 038 super is 66cc.

The 038 is older and heavier than the 044 but I think it is more robust. I have an 038 magnum, modded, base gasket deleted and I love using it over my 372xp for pure smiles that it gives. It is a low revving torque monster. It is one tough bugger. Easy to swap an 038 or 038 super to an 038 mag piston and cylinder. Just need to open out the cylinder bolt holes with a dremel or other. And maybe get the mag carb.

Having said all that mine is being a pain to start, due a carb rebuild.

I recommend one definitely. Don't know if $200 is a bit much for a repair project..

They've been known to bounce out of a truck at high speed, get up and shake it off and go right back to cutting wood. They will shiver yer timbers though with their 1980's AV.

I'm pretty sure there is no difference between them, the 028, 026, 044, 034, 036 or any of the MS variants of those. Well I cant see or feel any, they are all rubber AV's. But I agree compared to the ms362 and the 362xp and 372xp that I have they are a tad more agricultural..

I'm a husky convert so they all wrinkle my panties but the 038M shakes my panties off... it's hard to get your feet in a braced position with your panties around your ankles.

72 cc
Bore 52mm
Stroke 34mm
2500 rpm idle
13,500 rpm w/bar n chain top limit

I have a 038 magnum II w/ 24" bar that I just recently rescued from the trash. You better bet your arse that this is one saw you would want in an alley fight. Yes, the rumors are true..... the magnum is a torquer.

If by less you mean about $50. A mag is valued much higher than the 036 sized 038.
