What's the DOM of the ones you just bought?

These changes were first made on the MS 241 C-M around autumn/winter 2014 and later in 2015 on the MS 261 C-M. But the MS 241 C-M has no new chain sprocket cover like the MS 261 C-M and the changes between the 241 C-M and 261 C-M are different. (for example no new cylinder on the MS 241 C-M)

I purchased a new MS241C after reading the comments above. I have to say after two weekends of cutting I’m absolutely thrilled with the saw. The saw far out performs the MS210 and MS250 that were my go to saws previously. It is extremely responsive and has an amazing amount of torque even in dry ash. I’ve never had a small saw that you could bury the bar in dead ash with a PS chain and it pulls right through. Other than it obviously burns more gas then my 210 and 250 it is outstanding. With only three tanks of fuel so far I’m guessing it may wake up a little more yet.

Thanks to everyone for all the excellent advice above. This was a well advised purchase that looks to be worth every penny!

Check the DOM date of manufacture on the handle.
