I've seen guys yelping after looking through threads about 038mag. Really saw wise aint the 044 a better saw and collector item?
044 and 046/460. Agreed if I dumped everything today one of these would be all I would keep. Light enough, power, and reliable. I'm curious though, from a collection stand point 038? And which model? Super, mag?I have both and enjoy having both, I have multiple 044s both 10 and 12MM. I also have 4 versions of the 038, the 038AV, Super, Magnum, and Magnum II. I have always owned them and only get rid of them if I am replacing with the same saw in better shape. If I were to only have one of either, the 044 would be one of the easiest choices I've ever made. My opinion hasn't changed, I still think the 044 is my favorite Stihl ever made, and I own almost every model they've made back to the BLK.

I have 12mm 044. Maybe that's the differenceI have both and enjoy having both, I have multiple 044s both 10 and 12MM. I also have 4 versions of the 038, the 038AV, Super, Magnum, and Magnum II.

Agreed. Then you put personal preference in place. 041FB, looks alone.Just like any model, the bigger the better as far as collector value, so the 038 Mag II is followed by the 038 Mag seem to have the most collector value. Same with the 056 Mag vs a regular 056AV and 041 Super vs 041AV, and the list goes on.

I have 12mm 044. Maybe that's the difference
You are sick. LolThe collecting got way out of hand for me, I got an 038 Mag first, then convinced myself I needed one of each model, same with the 044s, got a 12MM first then decided I needed a 10MM, liked those well enough to buy a spare of each, then needed the 440 to go with them, then the 441 to go with them. I'm not sure where it stops cause I'm still looking for the end....

One masterpiece i want 041G. EnvyCorrect, I started with an 041FB, then had to have the AV, then the Super, then a Super with a brake, then finally found an 041G. It's an illness for sure.
What was the year cut between 12mm and 10mm. 1997?The collecting got way out of hand for me, I got an 038 Mag first, then convinced myself I needed one of each model, same with the 044s, got a 12MM first then decided I needed a 10MM, liked those well enough to buy a spare of each, then needed the 440 to go with them, then the 441 to go with them.
