Yes, it is a bone stock

I've had two of them, both seemed very underpowered to me. Never really used them much, so I ended up selling them. According to others on the forum, these saws really come alive if you gut the muffler and open up the exhaust. I wish I would've tried a muffler mod on mine. Good luck, hope you like the saw!
Not trying to keep it a secret. $450. I have an 036Pro and a MS362 both bone stock as well. Ron

You have a cool saw and that's what matters. It doesn't matter what you paid as long as your happy. 
Do you have a 60cc saw fetish?
I don't think you did bad. Did it come with the bar and chain, and the case?

IDK I have 4 all together now (2 - 362s). The 362s are loaners but since it seems my s-i-l has one on permanent loan now I decide to get another - it just happened to be a 361. I do like to have multiple copies though: 8 - 82cc MACs and 5 - 123cc MACs.
Yes and Yes. OP seller couldn't locate the owner's manual but I got everything else, including a new "green" chain. The yellow chain on the saw is the original.

It is a nice clean looking saw, and if it came w / b&c & case you did OK. I happen to love the 044s, but a lot of people love the 361s.
Good Luck with it.

I would love to have a nice clean 044, but it wouldn't be a loaner.
Guys, thanks for the opinions on value as I didn't want to take advantage of the seller. As I told him, I paid $400 for a similar condition 362 and $250 for another that was not as clean. I added $50 on this saw because it seems a 361 is more desirable or so it seems on AS.

Nice saw as long as you like it and use it, who cares what you paid, it's a quality saw that's all that counts.
As I said I didn't want to take advantage. Whether it is a wrench or a saw, if I don't need it I typically pay what it is worth to me. The seller thought it was worth more. I thought I was being generous, but I don't know what it is worth in the market place so I threw it on here for comments (and to show it off to those interested). Ron

Nothing wrong with a stock saw. According to one professional tree service specialist, is that his all his saws are stock. Says; " they last longer ". And from the pics of his business, and its growth over the years, he just might be on the right track.
EDIT: IGNORE THIS POST I was looking at it and the ebay pictures wrong. I take it there are two different OEM mufflers for this saw - one with an upper shrouded port and one without - correct? This one does not have the upper. Ron

I sorta like the scrench holder.
I've overpaid for a few saws. Or bought saws that needed worked on and put more money into them than they'll ever be worth. Oh well. I do it for fun, not to make money...

Been there fo sure.
Been there fo sure. Just finished up a pawn shop 066. Paid $320 for it. Ran good be real rough looking. I always pull the jug on newly accuired saws, and noticed it had a AM top end on it with only 150psi. I decided to try a mako kit on it. Ended up doing the bottom end, paint (don't ever try to strip stihl paint!) DP muffler, and a lot of other stuff. Got a lot more in it than I could get for it I guess. I'll just cut wood with it.

I think if RWoods paid less than $600, he did OK. You can replace it and the case with an MS362 for $850.
Stihl MS361 Rocks!
