    661 Oil Test 32:1 vs 40:1 vs 50:1 ?

    It is a real thing, but only an issue past 1000 yards, called spin drift. Bullets where the COG is not in line w/ the COR will exhibit some amount of yaw, and each rotation tends to move the bullet in the direction of rotation... Yes, but all things equal a heavier bullet is longer and...

    Who, anybody wear the gear?

    Funny, I wear plugs when shooting but muffs when sawing. Guess with gloves and the dirty dusty scenario lifting amuff to hear someone talk is easier than messing w/ plugs. I recently bough a set of Sure Fire plugs. They are supposed to fit great, and accept a air tube for a 2-way radio so if...

    Who, anybody wear the gear?

    Had a similar instance cutting a small tree for pop, shredded a pair of jeans, left me with the slightest scratch, looked like a cat got my knee. I had chaps the next day. Only time I do not wear them is if I am trail riding w/ the ATV and packing the small saw just to clear the trail if...

    Who, anybody wear the gear?

    Chaps, gloves, muffs/plugs, glasses, sometimes a face screen/muff combo, steel toe boots. I am worth way too much (to me) to risk cutting me to pieces. As a firewood hack I (we) stand a better chance of slipping falling w/ saw in hand. Fellers tend to cut delimb the main trunks, get up the...

    WEST KY GTG 2015!!!!! (September 19, 2015)

    Murray is the other side of LBL... so for you take the Lincoln Prkwy to the WK... and go dang near to the end of it (long & boring road). Then head south a bit. I am planning to go, if my travel for my new position at work does not have me in Israel, and it shouldn't. Last time I went was in...

    Bar Data & Picture Thread -

    The thickness measured the same 0.1750. I do not have a scale to read accurate enough that low, but I cannot imagine a piece of steel 3/4"x 0.1750" x 2 3/4~7/8 would account for much weight. I did lay it on a 28" Stihl bar while I was having the chain shortened, and it is ~1/8 shorter which...

    Bar Data & Picture Thread -

    Just want to let folks know Sugihara may have changed the specs on the 28" Stihl bar. Just got one in today, fresh out of the box, and 93DL will not fit. It also differs from the overall length listed above, and comes in 30" even. Loosing 3/4" would drop 2 DL off a a chain putting it back to...

    Chainsaw Acquisition Disorder

    WHo has money or time for booze and drugs, I spent my last dime on saw stuff, and all my time honing my skill w/ a file.... See this is the one argument I have against the ms241, it runs the 3005 mount and most my others the 3003. Except I just bought a longer bar & chain for the 192t, so now...

    Chainsaw Acquisition Disorder

    Dang that web search... that is how I found this place, and it all went down hill from there. Of course if it weren't saws it probably be guns, boobs or booze taking my money. dw

    Chainsaw Acquisition Disorder

    They are tools w/ a purpose. I figure I only need what I can find a purpose for... I have 4, plus a pole saw, plus my fs250 trimmer w/ a blade, so 4 & 3/4 maybe. Funny, my first was a 038, then a ms361 (wanted something lighter just as strong). Then started wanting somethgin bigger. Debated...

    Any Mill Owners, Millers near Bardstown-Mt Washington-Taylorsville?

    I have an acquaintance that has a (large) Walnut. He is actually in Fairfield KY, but that is a dot on the map between the three towns. I have not seen it, but when asked he said "it is not quite 36" so I am guessing a 30" maybe trunk. He said there a re two straight 10' sections. He is...

    461 review

    Lot of good reviews on that one, just pulled the trigger on one myself, but no run time yet... I have a ms441 cm, I love the m-tronic, keeps the saw tuned. Sounds like however your mind is set. If you want an old school saw, I have a 660 I could put on you. PM me and I'll send you the link...

    Stihl MS 661 having the bog blues

    Maybe reach out to some of our European friends, have them buy just the carb, and side panel w/ holes (or drill yours out) (whatever else is needed). Ship you the standard parts to deconvert YOUR current saw to the screwdriver version. Of course this voids the warranty... dw
