I've been passively searching Craigslist for a saw. I'm an apartment dweller, but once in a while I help people with some cutting and wouldn't mind having my own saw.
Here is the ad:
I'm not that familiar with these saws, so any guesses how old this one is? I understand that some of the old 031's had a "hand guard" instead of a chain brake. If that's the case, I'm probably not interested. Is this one of those saws?
I looked through the FAQ, but I didn't see any info about this saw in particular, or a general list of things to check.
Its a toss up between the Craigslist saw and a new MS170, which would probably put up with my relatively light use. Just looking for a hand feeling out the Craigslist saw.
Thanks,
Kevin

I have a stihl 031AV w/16' bar and extra 3/8" chain. I just rebuilt the carburator. This saw has plenty of power and runs great!
