I unwrapped my "new" saw today, built by a reputable dealer from Denham Springs, Louisiana. It had been in the mail for almost 2 weeks. Here's some pictures:

I couldn't wait to assemble the bar and open the old style caps, fuel it up with 40:1 synthetic stihl/91octane mixture and give it a run.
It started on the 3rd pull even though it was shipped completley dry. With the new chain on the 24" bar it sliced through the test log every bit as well as the new stock 71cc 372. It sounds good; he said he tacked the revs at 11k. It really flies though the wood and I'm looking forward to taking it out for a good test this weekend.
Has anyone owned or run an 038AV Super before, and what did you think of it? I know it's not pretty like a new saw but it sure runs.
