Dealers on the East Coast just do not seem to handle very many wrap handle saws, just the way it is. Likely cause when you are taking down a tree in a yard, you want to stump it as close to the ground as you can.

The HO oiler is nice.Maybe I shouldn't get a Wrap then....
Why not a west coast dealer like Madsen's and have one shipped out?Maybe I shouldn't get a Wrap then....
Any dealer can ship a saw.Why not a west coast dealer like Madsen's and have one shipped out?

Wrap saws often have a lot of advantages, which MAY include HO oiler, dual dogs, high capacity shoot, and on the 661, those cool vented dogs, so it can pay to order one even if you don't want a wrap handle.
The "R" model comes with those options as standard equipmentDoes it come with all that, or do I need to specifically ask for it, such as the HO Oiler ?
Can you order an "R" model with the 661 dogs if it isn't a 661?
They didn't fix that stupid problem when they came out with the 461 .Nope...they dont fit a 461 anyway.
Your big saw is a 290 and a regular MS461 doesn't get it for you, you have to have the R version, the full wrap handle, hmmmm, interesting.It just stinks. Nobody knows what it is, and each of them say they need to check with their distributors, yet I never hear back from them. Go figure, I bet they are all calling the same guy, and that guy is wondering what the heck is going on that all these people whan a Wrap handle in Virginia. So now, he is going to stock up on them as he feels there is a market surge on the MS461R. I have a bunch of big saw work I wanted to start on this Wednesday, and now I will have to use my MS290 again on 30" class NRO. Crapola. Are there any online high volume dealers I could just order one of these?
Yup I guess your right. I've been selling Stihl in northern Virginia for over 20 years now. To date I've had one customer request a full wrap handle saw. That was back in 07. He wanted a heated handle full wrap 441. He's been the only one that's ever requested a full wrap saw. Guess we'll have 2 in Virginia now,LOLAlways one in the bunch

Naa not really. The guy that bought that full wrap 441 wanted those heated handles more than anything else. Said his fingers get cold and he like the idea of a warm handle. I had to order it from my distributor, Mid-Atlantic Stihl in NC. They had to get it shipped in from a distributor out west. Just no demand for heated handles or full wraps on the east coast. If there was you can rest assured we'd have them on the shelves.He must have been on AS
