I called two hardware stores that sell Stihl. Both did not have the 241 in stock and both said Stihl has discontinued them.

One store said that I was about the 5th guy that's called about one. o_O Apparently, the word is out.
Well im still calling my Stihl shop and going to ask some questions tomorrow.
 
Can't say I regret selling the 241 and buying the 261. Both are great, and the 241 certainly gets so much done on so little fuel. But the 261 (v2, monkeyed) is more capable meaning I don't reach for the 7900 as much any more. If anything, I think the next one might be a battery saw for occasional one-off use around the mill docking boards, etc. Or an echo top handle.
 
I would like to ask some of you guys that have an interest in this topic to call their dealers and report back so we can sort this out?
I'm calling mine today to see what he says/has in stock. i have another dealer less than 5 minutes away from me but i wouldn't buy used sprark plug from him.:eek:
 
If I remember correctly the prices rose for the 361 and the 200T as soon as they became scarce from the dealers, some old stock ones went for close to double what they were worth new during production.I can see that happening again to a certain extent, maybe not as high as the 200T`s went as t
hey were mostly used by professional arborists.

Exactly. The 200t was a rocket compared to the old Echo's, original Stihl top handles, and all the mini macs and Poulans. There wasn't a lot of competition. In the same class or nearly the same class is the 261, 026, 346, 550, et....

So I don't see it being as extreme since there are a lot of other good options.
 
There's one at my local dealer. $539 with a 16" bar. Didn't ask about ordering more of them. The guy had enough trouble looking up a bar for me.
 
The specific distributor will be the one with the answer... I’m afraid to call lol.
