Nice score man! You clearly made the right choice.

Agreed. A 40cc saw is perfect for a beginner.

Better move quick, they are slated to announce the 572 later this month...

I like black walnut for shoulder and firepit wood. It works up easy and dries relatively fast. And it smells great. It does pop and spit though, but it doesn't create showers of sparks like mulberry does. Definitely produces more ash than oak and maple. I like to split it small and use it...

The Logrite/Stihl tools are very nice. I have 48 and 60" cant hooks in orange and they are very well made.

Black walnut makes decent shoulder season or firepit wood and it dries quickly...I never turn it down!

I had a self proclaimed logger tell me once that the 391 was a better saw than a 461. I laughed and walked away.

I couldn't imagine having a pipe on a work saw...that just seems silly to me.

I worked on a 270 a while back that gave me fits. I rebuilt the carb and put a new fuel line in. It still ran rough with an unstable idle, and I noticed that it would change depending on whether it was being held or sitting on the ground. Found a torn intake boot...replaced that and thought...

Nice score, one of my favorite trees to cut!

Flippy caps are an over engineered answer to a problem that never existed. And at $8 a pop they aren't real cheap when they inevitably break or leak.

Those ported 390s definitely sling some chips! Here's a video of mine tearing through some black locust.

Yep...1/4" chain.

Neat saws, but they definitely have a niche use.

It's crazy how the RS loads the saw up so much more...it's definitely some sticky sharp, aggressive chain out of the box.

Does it work for pressure too?

Meteor piston, caber rings(if the piston doesn't come with cabers), OEM clips.

Yeah, for $300 you have room for repairs and still in the ballpark. I'd buy it if you needed a bigger saw.

Stabilizers are great and all but they don't remove ethanol from the fuel...the only surefire way to prevent issues with ethanol is to find E-free fuel or mix water with the fuel and decant the ethanol/water solution. I do think Startron is a good product and I use it myself. But I'm careful...

Older ones had a more open muffler...check to see how many holes are under the deflector. I wouldn't let that be a deciding factor though, a more "muffled" muffler can be easily opened up. I would keep the newer one...seals less likely to need replaced.
