This looks like a plastic case to me...I may be wrong...
Husqvarna clam shell saws have metal bearing cages. Unlike a stihl 290/310/390 and others. I know this because I own a 41, 340, 350, 141. I actually ported my 350 yesterday and love the results.
Correct. You can also swap top ends, IE you can turn a 351 into a 346.

Mag case!
mid size saw
With 18in bar & .325 chain the wts. are follows:
MS261 14lbs.
346XP 13lbs 12oz. (13 3/4 lbs)
550XP 13lbs 8oz. (13 1/2 lbs)
Dry wt. on the MS261 without bar & chain is exactly 12lbs.
Hope this is helpful.

You weights aren't quite right. There is a 10oz difference bw the 346 and 261. Perhaps it's in the different bars. You would be surprised how much bars vary in weight, and the reason weights are taken PHO.
saw wts.
I took my 261 to a Husky dealer & put all three on the same scale, & I get your point. The 261 & one of the Huskies (I don't remember which one) had a laminated bar while the other Husky wore a solid bar. The only one I weighed without bar & chain, but with the bumper spike in place, was the 261, & it was exactly 12lbs. Thanks for pointing this out. I made my post after reading only page 1. Going further, I see the OP has already made his choice.

When Magnesium catches on fire the end result will look like melted plastic.
I've only seen pictures of them and held one in a saw shop and read the spec sheet about them :taped:

The 350 was most likely the best cheap homeowner saw ever made.. Just sayin. :msp_smile:
How can that statement be getting old I just started using it a two days ago (JMO)
For anyone that don't know "JMO" stands for Just My Opinion
Isn't that what this message board is for ?
