    "C" for compression release?

    I also heard that recently, but I just can't recall where????

    I bought a basic Stihl 25" ES bar
    33RSF chain = 3/8" pitch, 0.05" gauge, Stihl Rapid cutters type, Super chisel, Full skip chain

    Why yes, yes she has! How did you know that would occur?

    I guess your late to the party! ;) I think we figured out the "C" just notes the saw has options installed. The options can be the M (Mtronic), Q (quick stop chain thingy), W 9full wrap handle)... and/or any combo of them.

    By the way, are you aware the 362C is AWESOME ?? :D

    C is for comfort on the chains. I Think mtronic is one of those options that has the C.

    That is a different "c". We are referring to the "C" on the label on the side of he saw. You can buy a 362 saw that has either "362" or a "362C" on the label. The 362C has "other options" installed. Among those options are the the M, the W,... at least that is how I see it.

    Correct. The C is for a comfort option. Mtronic, easy start or something like that. The R addition isn't put on the starter label or the heat option of V either. It may get an arctic sticker on it for that.

    Just a hunch.

    I mentioned to my wife that I held an ms362 at the dealer the other day and then I noticed she set the dvr to record the Victoria Secrets fashion show :banana:

    The 362c bucked it, the Ariens 22 ton splitter will split it, and the wheelhorse tractor will drag it out of the woods to my stacks. ;)

    Since you live the closest to me, if you want to, send me that chain and I will make it a little sharper for you with a 3 corner file
    Merry Christmas !!

    What Dealer did you go to ?

    Having ran several of his chains, I'd take him up on that ;)

    Thanks!! That's awesome! I bought two of those 25" skip chains, the first one is definitely ready to be sharpened after the 1st use (cutting up that big maple). Lets just say it this way, the ground came up and hit my chain !! :D

    Where is "Here"? And what is "3 corner file"? Haven't herd that phrase before....
