    Thanks bud. That's 3/8 lp Stihl pm3? The Picco full chisel but with bumpers. I use the Stihl 2 in1 tool with raker file out. I do the rakers with west cost saws raker plates. I dig to hard and get the chain to aggressive with the raker file in the 2-1.

    Brad.....lol. No. A fella in, well nevermind where, will buy it if his other 241 deal falls through. Supposedly he found a dealer in his state with 2 nos 241 saws. I'm going to try and get one if they are both still available. He's purchased saws from me before so maybe he will be sending my way.

    Ikr!!! Lol.

    He will be on his death bed with one regret, maybe two. Not buying a 241, and not also buying, Husqvarna, Echo and Dolmar saws too. I feel bad for him. :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    Full chisel Picco with bumpers would be PS3. PM3 is semi-chisel with bumpers. I miss having a roll of PS around. That stuff was fun.

    I always get the pm3 and ps3 confused. It's PS3 on the 241 in that vid.

    I sold the Husqvarna 543 to my nephew today thus ending the comparison between these saws. I am, however, keeping the stock 241 for now and I'll be starting a build thread on it.

    Definitely. Even though I like the 543. I started the build thread on the second 241.

    Lol. No. I traced the mounting area of the stock one on to a piece of plate then winged the rest. Cut it out with a cut off wheel and shaped it with my die grinder and files.
