Would you use one of these cylinders on a saw you're paying $250 to have ported?

Since I eyeball every saw I build, I guess the numbers would never matter to me. It's about performance and liability, I have not had either from the kits I messed with. That was years ago though, possibly they are much better. I will say, I ordered a Meteor 460 replacement top end for a cheaper option for a neighbor, no mods. So far so good.
I just hate seeing all this soap opera crap. We all have an opinion, none are any better than the next guys. Funny how fued's and opinions go hand on hand.
 
On a positive note, I was just at Madsens today and bought a 28" techlight, much cheaper then home. Going on the 562XPW!!! Madsens is way cool!!

Is this the same xpw we're holding our breath for a vid and now AS looks like a ridiculous group of smurfs? It's ok we don't like pictures or videos or anything :D

LOL yes it is, just on a few day holiday down at Great Wolf Lodge with the family. I'll try to add a pic.
 
No, my goal isn't to hurt you or your business. That might be a result, but certainly isn't my desire. My only goal, as I've stated over and over, is to see the quality of these kits much better than what they are. It was you for sale thread in the chainsaw forum that was the straw that broke the camels back.

When can I expect to see threads on those BRANDS of kits and those people associated to them? Bailey's, NorthWood Saws and the others...

If they're going to be pushed like that, then i felt the user community should know what's really in that box. Again, my rant isn't against just Meteor, but all inferior AM cylinders.
Most people who don't like a product just don't buy it. I placed an ad in my signature and you felt it necessary to attach my product because you didn't like it. What am I supposed to think Brad? Exactly what I was beginning to think and many alluded to... that's down right dirty!

Again, this was not personal against you or anyone else. You simply happen to be closely associated with my target.
Maybe you should have written them a letter outlining there deficiencies?? And what about Randy, I'm going to assume he wasn't your target either? I hope this isn't hurting your business Brad and to think, you actually though it wouldn't hurt my business or me personally.... really?

I'm sure this will all be twisted out of context, perhaps not by you, but it is the truth. As we've already seen though, once the mob comes out and starts to riot, they don't care about the truth.

Lets talk about the truth. You did make this post to cause damage and the collateral damage doesn't really matter to you....took 24 pages to get to....thought you were bigger than that... guess not...perception?

You don't know me from Adam, but felt it your responsibility to announce to everyone I was pushing these kits to unsuspecting buyers.... that was an attach on my business.... I would have never attached you or your business even if you were my direct competition... you Sir owe me and this community an apology!

I tell my boys all the time "Perception is reality" irregardless of what the intent was. I have often deleted post before hitting the send button after reflecting on what it would stir up.
A very intelligent post and words to live by... seems we have a belief in common, I deleted a bunch just in this thread alone... not this one!

Don't know the exact pricing but I'll bet it would save a guy a 100.00, save more than half that in shipping so the savings might be even more. Someone has to be the pioneer in any endeavor.

And that savings is passed directly to the consumer.... smart business! Quite an astute observation and the truth in why i choose Randy. Nobody on this site was doing that.... They say to be successful in business to pick your product wisely and the way its marketing will sort the men from boys! I felt that I've made a pretty good choice, I've even offered it to several others and those are in the works. This thread just happened to conveniently serve a purpose for me as well Brad and I'd like to thank you for that!

Please sent that cylinder to Scooterbum, I believe you've gotten your moneys worth from it. Send me the cost of shipping and I'll gladly pay the tab... no hard feelings..... business is business!

I'm done with this thread, wished it turned out better, to bad you didn't realize it earlier..... it could have been a great opportunity for you....often, the end serves the purpose.... seems you've called the mob on yourself.

Oh and last thing... you've added your name the naughty list all by yourself... Merry Christmas!
