Don't get hung up on a builder in Montana. UPS does a great job bringing the best Builders to your door.

So I need my regular 261 Strato gutted and ported,

I have had much work and business through the mail this is just my first chainsaw build.
My muffler modded and base gasket deleted 359 feels stronger than my ported MS261. Against my old (STOCK) 2171, it wasn't even close....Several have commented that they run more like a 70cc saw than a 50cc saw once ported.
You should just sell one of your 261's and buy a 461... You'll never turn a 50cc saw into a 70cc saw. Maybe with a 16" bar you'd be close, but once you try to run a 28" bar on a ported 261, you'll quickly realize that it's not a 70cc saw...It's worth it if I can have a 50cc saw run like a 70cc saw
Are you on the east side or west side?Well I don't want the weight of a 461 and I don't usually cut much over 16 I really like the 261 for weight I just would like more power
I'm in Joplin right now, but live west of Kalispell. Steve's saw shop in Lolo (Missoula) ports saws.East side but I make trips to west side regularity
Ah, not too far from running to Lolo. Or you could send it to Brad, Terry, Randy, etc. Not too many builders in MT. Steve's in Lolo has been around for many years, and built a bunch of saws.Great falls
WolfMT! Did you end up porting a 261? If yes, which flavor, and who did the work? I am in GF too, and am shopping a 50cc saw, for eventual porting. I was even thinking maybe a 241... Not cutting real big trees in the Little Belts... -Drew
