i got a micro 2300 in craftsman clothes, good little saw but my 14" bar is to much would be much happier with a 12". i assume your talking smaller 25 series not the S25's

I still use them, both the S25's and the Micro's.

You should do some work to your 2300, mine pulls a 16" pretty well. Just had it out yesterday after working on it and I cut up a couple 28" logs with it just for the fun of it.

it'll pull it no problem i just for one handed use i'd like a 12" for balance, the 14" is mean in small wood otherwise. i do need to MM it though and give it a good once over lines/kit since i let it sit with fuel in it:bang:. not sure what i like better the scream of the 2300 or the growl of the S25....well i have 4 S25's and one micro...so i guess i answered my own question

heres the little guy with a few friends

I have one of the smaller ones and my dad has 3 or 4 of the 2300s. The one I have is manual oiling only.

I have & use a Dolmar 101 hobby which is a rebadged version excellent saw & performs really well after a Muffler mod.
