Thanks, I'll update on performance. Waiting for
bar and chain.
Let's put it this way, I'm glad I started small. I am not a professional. I have used saws all my life but for the past five years I can count the number of weekends on one hand that I haven't run one. Otherwise I would never consider owning such a high powered saw. But just in case I'll make sure I have a diaper onNice. I'm sure it is a beast. I almost wet myself the first time I used the 461. The 660 and 880 have to be an order of magnitude more fierce.
Oem replacement cases don't have a serial number
OEM vs AM - I'm sure an OEM saw would be much better quality. Function? I mentioned its' short comings. I've never ran an OEM 660 so I can't compare. Again, the saw runs really well so I'm happy. I hope the money I saved not buying an OEM unit won't translate into longevity issues. Only time will tell.True. I believe that the OEM rear handle assembly would have the pictogram for the heated handle switch molded into the plastic, this one does not. I'm not an expert, but in looking at the pic the only two things that I see that I believe are OEM are the recoil and the top cover with the model badge.

No worries. I appreciate your comments. Since you mentioned building these would an OEM clutch cover be more rigid than AM?Don't get me wrong, I'm not making a value judgement at all. I've built several 660 clones and will very likely build more, as well as the newer 440 and 361 clones in the not too distant future.
