About the same power as a 460 and perhaps larger than a 440. I think my 441cm would run even with it. Looks like it has enough power to pull a 25" bar.
What price is the owner asking for it?

Might want to be extra careful and make sure you are not buying a clone. I had an 038 Magnum 2 years ago, and also an 038 AV Super Farm Boss. Solid saws but lacked what the 044/440 had.
ask is 275.00 .
Nine years ago I sold this 038 AV for $300 shipped. It was in immaculate condition:
The owner who bought it PHO still uses it with a 25" bar. No chain brake, but he doesn't care.

I'd say you are right, as I have lost track of Stihl over the past few years. I know the 038 Magnum 2 was the same ccs as that 380 or 382, but I have no idea what the HP rating was. The 038 FB was about 5 ccs smaller if I remember right. $275 sounds like a good buy.
MS382 is open transfer, I’d argue the 038 mag is a better saw.
just going by what I read today. consensus was runs more like a modern saw. but I know nothing.
I would not own a 382 solely based on the fact parts will be a pain in the azz given the saw was never sold in North America.
