    I bought a 25" to fit my 038M and it swaps over to the 441C-M. After seeing it on the 441 I wish I had the 28".

    I know some have mixed feelings of the 441C-M stock based on power/weight. I do still crave something bigger, but that's just CAD I think.

    Be efficient. Get it ported. Starts a whole new chapter to your CAD.

    My 441C-M has worn 28" of full comp RS since day 1. No issues whatsoever. Stock it ran it well, now it runs it effortlessly. Like a one-ton pulling a jetski.

    Just make sure the oiler is turned up for max flow..
    If you're running "off the roll" RS chain, it should be just fine...

    Edit:
    OK.. MM beat me to it...
    I'm slow....

    If you like it now? Then you'll love it when it comes back from Cottle Lane :dex:

    I wasn't a huge fan of the 441 stock. I never even did a Muff mod. Heck, it was on its 1st tank when I sent it :saw: Now it's a beast.

    As for the 28" bar.. It will do fine. :) As noted above, crank the oiler. :thumbs:

    Mine picked up a bit after the first three or four tanks and was probably on tank 10-11 when I sent it for attitude adjustment. Very slow break in on that one, not like the 261 which exploded after the first five tanks.

    Yeah.. My 362 was a good runner after a few tanks.. The 441 had about 4-5 more tanks on it before the GTG.. I was a cookie cutting monster for the 2 weeks up to the G2G. All told, even my 460 still has under 10 tanks still. :(

    I have saws that havent finished their first tank.:( And a 3120xp that has never had fuel other than the 30 seconds Terry Landrum ran it in his listing video. Fall cant get here soon enough. :dancer: By the time Im done with work and chores- Im too fatigued with heat exhaustion to fool with modified saws.
