Muffler mod a US thing ? Bien sûre que non !

I had never heard of a muffler mod untill I found this forum a few years ago. Never modded a saw myself, nor did I see one in operation with saw users in my area.

So I go : this must be a silly invention by our american (and canadian) friends to lift the power of their gutless, EPA restricted saws...

But a few months ago, I found an oldie saw, suggesting evidence that muffler modding may have been invented (as most of the other good things in life) in our part of the world...

Here's a pic showing the discovery ...I'll show pictures of the saw later.

What ya say you men and women of the great PNW ???

Do you need a firearms licence to have one of those!

I'd say that's a new installation on an old saw....

Hmmmm......, you will realise this was probably a prototype, made by the french :greenchainsaw:

I thought Belgians were French?

judging by the sound and flames this saw produces....probably YES !!!!

You think thats small check out Luxembourg.

Like Jacob already mentioned, I found a french two men saw, made by Rexo, type RS. It's a 350 cc !!! single cylinder with magneto ignition and a manually operated clutch. It dates late fourties, early fifties, but I am not sure really.

the muffler is not original of course, but probably a redneck replacement for the original one. I have no replacement muffler, so I decided to leave it on the saw for now, and it adds a kinda 'mean' touch to the saw .

It also came handy... to ruffle the feathers of our friends modders over the pond, I guess :hmm3grin2orange:

here's the pic of the power head

There are a bunch of saw collectors in Luxembourg, for how small it is...

 

[Jacob J.]

Wow Roland, what a great find! I too hope to get the RS someday...

Memory tells me these were introduced in '48 but that's the rumor...

Now watch it Mr Lakeside....grrrr. I happen to live at the language border of the two regions and master both of the languages. We do not munch vegetables of any kind besides 'hop', a gift from the Allmighthy to produce the finest beers in the world...:check:
