I have not heard of any problems with the saw, only that it was a supply issue. As a result, they're offering the 461 at the same price until the end of the month.
According to stihl it was a tooling change causing the supply issue for the 441cm. They were going to use higher production yield molds and dies so the switchout takes a while.
Boy, you think if they are going through that much trouble, it would be a good time to revise the saw! Not that it is not a good saw, but I think a little slimmer & lighter would please everyone.

I wanna 661 non-Mtronic from east Europe with the laser attachment. May be awhile before I can source one though.

They do, but it is not available in North America (EPA?). Nor is the laser site goodie. Too dangerous here for some reason.

Could be. There is a lot of air traffic up and down the Pacific timber corridor. Maybe have to adopt/change over to using the Happy Camp cut with a laser.

I live in southeast, hard to get a big saw like that here... stihl dealers around here usually don't stock any bigger than a 461. It's really more saw than I need but was only a hundred bucks more than a 461, why not live large!!! Haha

I hear ya brother...that's a helluva collection. You see the stable I got in my sig...can't hold a candle to his saws. Well maybe the 038 Deuce Mag might would stand a chance. All the rest would be bringing a knife to a gun fight.
