The 385xp is here

[Tree Sling'r]

Well fella's her she is:

Does .036 sound about right on the squish? That's what I got.
Also, is the only difference between Stihl mount and Husky mount bars is the hole size? I bored out the smaller holes on a Stihl mount bar with my milling machine and it seems to work fine.
Gonna test it out tommorow - stock. Then she's getting broke down and modded.

Well, I have not put it in any wood yet. Seems alright. It must be the west coast version. The dawgs are stock.

I have a 385 and like the balance and love the anti vib even more. I ordered the bailey's big spikes for mine and really like the machine as a whole.

I had one. Loved the power, disliked the 'fat bottomed girl' look. Too wide for my liking - just like the 441.

Maybe I read you wrong, but something seems amiss here - the slot in the medium Stihl mount bars are about 3 mm wider than on the large Husky mount bars, so it will be a pretty sloppy fit without an adaptor........

The slot or the holes? I just bored out the holes. I did notice the slot was longer on the husky bar, but I thought maybe that was because it was a 36" and the one I milled was a 32". Something does not seem right though, adapter?

The slot for the bar studs is 12.3mm on the medium Stihl, and just 9mm on the large Husky mount, because of the "stepped" bar studs on the Stihl saws (really bad idea, but that is how it is).

I have some trouble understanding how you can avoid knowing this, so I may have misunderstood something in your posts.....
