    I thought it was pretty funny.

    I had a 36" bar that I got from a certain member (anonymous unless they speak up ;)

    I took a pic to send to them and I thought about all the West Coasters.

    The 261C-M does look pretty good :dex: But it's not a Piltz Hot saw, so it probably couldn't run that 36"er. :rofl: :lol:

    Any other crazy pics?? Big saws with small bars? (East Coast) Or small saws with big bars? (West Coast)

    I will try and find my pic of the 395 w/ 16" bar.

    I was thinking piltz hot saw as well. But I am sure that will put the smack down on any of his ms170s running 25" bars?

    Jeez Dex, least you could've done is put something reasonable on that saw.... How about your 28" ES Light? :p

    Still needs monster dawgz and a wrap handle too..... ;)

    Hello dexter and everyone else here at FHC, was a member(forgot username/password so just made up a new one) last year then was off the chainsaw internet train for awhile. Good to see the site really taking off! I'm a happy owner of a masterminded 261c thats got about 15 cords under its belt, and like to see threads about this little guy anytime. Glad to be back.

    BTW anyone put a arctic 261c handle on a regular 261c? I always like the aluminum handles of the older stihls and current huskys.

    FWIW there is a dyno chart out there on the web by a fellow member if you do a little research on the stock vs. MM 261c. Alot folks don't care about this topic but I'm all for it. Shows what Randy can do with a saw. Good stuff in my opinion.

    There is kind of a mini fan club here for the MS261C-M with xtra bananas. I own one as do a few other members. What a fire breathing little beast they are.

    Yep, looks like it for sure! What's a 346xp anyway? Just kidding haha...I jumped on a new cm in the fall of 2013. DOM is 7/13, ported right out of the box by Randy. Caught the 261 bug with a regular 2012 261.

    Mine is an early production 261CM too. Had to wait a bit before Northeast Stihl started shipping them :mad: but it was worth it!

    @Grizzly Adam , @DexterDay , or @Scotty Overkill would be able to help you get your old username back if you wanted.

    I'd take that bar in a heartbeat and put it on my 064!

    Welcome back, $ooline! Can you remember your old user a we can get it fixed for you, or just delete the old account?

    I would gladly help get him back on track. But you would need at least the username (or close to it)

    As for the 261C-M. That chart of Chad's (Chadiham) was on here. I seen it!! :dex: MS 261XB (Xtra Bananas! !) :thumbs:
