056mag that just got back from the sthil shop , they put in a new flywheel and ignition, carb kit , advanced the timing,eight pin sprocket,will sell with or w/o bar and chain. 365.00 worth of work will let go for 300.00 or offer.

I snagged mine this year from Craigslist for $100 with less than 25 hours on it. The guy was moving and was desperate to unload it quickly.
$45 of carb work later it's a great saw. Can't see any scoring on the piston either.
$200 is still a good find.

Be careful guys.. just 'cos it says "mag" on the tag doesn't mean it is... labels are cheap and handles get swapped around all the time.

Hey Lake, doesn't the magnum have beveled corners at the base of the jug?

Thought so. That little tip helped put my mind at ease when I bought my last "magII" and wasn't quite sure.
I dont figure that this has the tag switched or the guy would have been asking 300 dollars . For about the last 10 years I have been wanting a saw of this size .Finally a crossed one I could afford .Hey I am to take it to a buddy house and compression test it what is the good reading for this saw .
I got 3 056s and two 038s from a logger friend. To quote him after the second time they break down "it costs me more running to fix them....", so he throws them in his shed.
The 056s had a good runner after switching an ignition from a DOA, the 038 mag had sawdust in the carb diaphragm. Both ran so good I brought new bars for each .
Reminds me, haven't visited/checked the shed in a year..........

This one is an example of swapped handles - I just went though this (by email and pics) with another AS member - it's a super, not a mag..

145-155 is what I mostly see. Yours looks particularly nice.. Post more larger pics...

I would imagine below 145 means it is getting weak, 145 to 155 is mid life, 155 up is in good condition.
