Ms 665 ???

WTF?

MS 665 - MADE IN USA

Heard of it over there...?

 

[sawfun9]

They probably meant ms650, but that's just a guess since it's basically a 660 with a smaller bore.

somthing sounds fishy about that place selling 5 get 2 for free, :msp_confused:
I gonna sit back and eat my self some opcorn: for this one

If the 660 is USA made, that is something new.....

 

[Jonsered2095]

You stihl here Troll? :msp_smile:


To fill you's in; the old man was telling me the neighbor bought one 'special price' over internet - an ms665. That's all I know except I have not heard of a 665 and that is the only site I could find that even mentions that model. Is supposed to cut gum well though...

You lot don't have one then? :msp_tongue:

There's something fishy about the broken English on the website. Isn't the de facto languane for Australia English?

I gotta call hogwash on that. If anything, it is either a 650 or a 661.

I have never heard of it - I suspect that the seller doesn't know much about the goods he is selling, with that model number (that doesn't "sound" like a new Stihl number at all), and the statement about "made in USA". The truth may well be China, for all I know.....

 

[tallguys]

Sounds like those ads for the Chinese made knock-offs I keep seeing over here. Especially when you factor in the broken English. Caveat Emptor!

 

[SawTroll]

To put it bluntly, this add smells of Chinese scam all the way to Norway! :msp_mad:

 

[Jonsered2095]

I don't know if this is where it was purchased - just the only reference I can find online.

Here is an ad for a MS381, wonder if its from the same source. Has a real Stihl chain too!

MS381 71.8CC 20/25"BAR GAS CHAINSAW - Ontario Tools & Hardware For Sale - Kijiji Ontario Canada.

Likely a Chinese copy, as there is no mention of Stihl, and the power rating is quite a bit lower than the original MS381 rating.
The original MS381s are made by Stihl in Brazil btw.
