So I was patiently waiting for MS500i to be released in December and when it got delayed, I couldn't wait anymore and bought one from Greece from Dan on this forum. Then got looking on here for muffler mod info and such. Ended up buying a nice 338xpt from the trading post that is still sitting in the box in the shop. I'll check it out this weekend.
Then I saw about the 241cm and all the rave talk about the little saw. I already have a 550xp and need another saw like I need a hole in my head. Anyways when I found out they were discontinued, I started looking for one. I found a new 2018 model in florida (7 hour drive) on sale for $395 (super cheap). Paid for it over the phone. They are gonna put a 16" stihl light bar on it with 3/8lp ps63, 6 pack of ultra to double warranty, andextra chain. Out the door for $480 (including tax).
Planned a little vacation around the saw purchased that will involve Busch Gardens in Tampa and Seaworld in Orlando over Mardi Gras holidays.
My CAD was in remission until this firewood season, but I really like chainsaws and appreciate all the other folks out here that like them as well.
On a positive note, I did sell my 441 c-m as the ms500i is now my go to big saw. MS500i is quite a bit lighter than the 441cm and much, much stronger![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Will do the louver type muffler mod on 241 and advance timing when I get it. Had to buy rotary tool for upcoming muffler mod, so can add that you my CAD price tag.
This is a real disease folks, I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about chainsaws.
Enough rambling, I'm sure someone out here understands.
