It sounds like you are wanting oem, but I just ordered a 390 cylinder and piston kit today from HL Supply for $30.07 as part of their sales.

Oops hope for that cheap it lasts sounds like a china special

I have a 290 cylinder but want to upgrade to the 390 which requires a piston, rings, and cylinder change. Everything else is same for 290 or 390.

Understood

Oh I'm sure its chinese, but no worse than any other brand. It was just a black friday deal from HL Supply.

I understand but the kit has everything you would need to upgrade.

I know it's not the same quality of oem, but I am just doing a cheap rebuild on a 290 I picked up the other day.
Here is a link to the sale...

Edit: I see you were responding to the previous poster and not me, but either way it is still an option.

I appreciate all the input and I will look at HL Supply. I would prefer an OEM cylinder as this saw will be seeing some heavy use. I am just trying to avoid Stihl's outrageous markup on parts. Thanks again and keep on cutting!

I dont blame you. My saw will be for fun, or I may flip it, so i dont plan on it seeing hard work.
