OK, no wonder, lol. And you just jogged my memory. Bageleetree, or something close to that.
I couldnt come up with username. But that sounds like it.
Yes. I have one that has been Snellerized. I use it more than my also semi- Snellerized (timing advanced, MM, squish tightened, but not ported) 261. You can bury the 14in. bar in walnut, maple, etc. & it feeds & cuts smoothly. No, it won't cut with the 261, but when you have it in hand you don't want to put it down!

The 241 will sell for $595 in Canada. Good price, the 242 Husqvarnas were going for $725 here in the 1990's.

It'll be interesting to see how that plays out with the 261 going for only $50 more and other similar power saws selling for much less.
A Dolmar 421 currently sells for about $360.

Well, if you think saws are spendy here in North America, look at what they pay for them in the Oz, the UK and the EU:
MS241 in the Oz: $1,099 AUD plus GST (10% sales tax) = $1,208.90 AUD or a whopping $1,052 US clams!
at the current $0.87 USD/AUD exchange rate
MS241 in the UK: £624.00 plus VAT (20% sales tax!!!!!) = £748.80 or a whopping $1,235 US clams! at the current $1.65 USD/Pound exchange rate
MS 241 in Germany: 799,00 € plus sales tax (19%!!!) = 951 € or a whopping $1,303 US clams! 
at the current $1.37 USD/Euro exchange rate
Same new MS241 saw here in Oregon, no sales tax = $550 US clams out the door. About half the price. Cheap as chips. So shuddup already...

That may be true, but matters not to U.S.consumers. All that matters is what competing saws sell for in the same market.

We will probably bring the 241 in as an order only saw. We have 2 presold. Our customer base will buy the 231 before the 241. The 230 was one of our best sellers. Homeowners that want a pro saw will pay the $50 extra for a 261.
Weight difference 241vs261?
Sorry if I missed it.

I have not yet drained and weighed it.

Brad, hows the ported ms421 compare to the ported PS-420 that you fid as well?
That was several years ago. I haven't run one since. I was quite impressed with that saw though. It's extremely well built.
