See if Tree Sling'r is still doing it. He's a member here on AS. I got a ported/milled 660 from him that is an absolute screamer!

Treemonkey is in that area. Scott does great work too. :msp_wink:

Scott (tree monkey) is in Wisconsin. Wisconsin is not the NW United States, although it is certainly NW of you, Randy.
But, Wazzu, unless you have a modder in your same city or very close to you, you're going to have to ship the saw for modding. In that case, it matters little where you are and where the modder is. Best work I've gotten is from a guy in Kentucky, as well as Tree Sling'r.
Not knocking any other modders, many of whom do excellent work, I'm told.
Just going on my own experience.

I have shipped 3 saws to Kentucky for woods porting.
Also one from Ohio!
UPS ground is under $40.

Far northern California in Ft. Jones. Close to the Oregon border. I will put another vote in for Tree Sling'r. I have a 371 built by him and I couldn't be happier. For me from east, TN it was $48 shipping one way and worth every penny.

I think you mean Tennessee Steve........
I've got your 288 down to the case......a freshening up is in order but the saw is it great shape.

People north of the Mason-Dixon line don't distinguish one Southern state from another. :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

That's funny.......we feel the same way about northern states.
Now, if a man in Minnesota and his wife get a divorce.......are they still brother and sister? :msp_unsure:

Yup. You can divorce your wife, but you can't divorce your kin. I think they invented the concept in the Smoky Mountains. :hmm3grin2orange:
