I wouldn't be mad, in fact i'd be quite happy.......if i wasn't paying for it.
Well in a round about way I feel you pay for all gifts that come form family. LOL
Stop talking about that little dolmar The hardware in town has one sitting on the shelf for the last 2 years.
It has been tempting me.
Might want to see how they compare first. Anyone on here run both?

Agreed.

Don't think anyone said it was better than the 421? Your dealer is bending you over if he was going to charge you $600.
I got my saw, a lightweight 14" bar, 2 spare chains, a hard case for the saw, and a 6 pack of oil for less than msrp. Granted I know that was a pretty good deal, but if your dealer don't budge on price....go to the next. Maybe they are looking for business?
I sure as hell won't drive 45 min to an hr for a dealer when I got one 5 minutes away.
Or how much 2 Dolmars can cut V one Stihl!
What would be a fair price to pay ? Which bar is the light? Not the stock one?
$520 + tax for me.
What about the Dolmar V the Stihl?
What's the difference in weight? I don't know. For me, the 421 is too close to a 50cc.
How many CC is it the weight is close I hear. Dolly being slightly heavier.
I've never bought one, or even know what they go for.

I thought it was you that had that video of the 420 back in the day. Apologies if I'm mistaken.
That was sent to me by a vendor for mods, and then returned.
I got mine in trade. So, I am good with it. In fact, I like having MTronic...until it starts to act up. But, until then, I like it since the weather here changes daily.
Now if I were to put my own money into it - no. It's just too much. Especially since I could easily live with a 261CM. In fact - I would prefer one. But no one had one of those in trade. Yes, the 241 is definitely lighter and easier to use. But the power gap between it and the 261 with an MM is a crevasse it couldn't bridge even if it weighed another lb less. Add to this the fact it just doesn't have the pep the Shindaiwa 452S has, or top end, and it actually feels sluggish in use.
It's a good 40cc saw. Not a great one. It needs porting to be great.
MS241C. 10% lighter + more power.
