    Just talked to dealer he claims he can still get the ms261 or 261cm. Should I go with the 261cm?

    I had a ported MS241 that i really liked with an eight pin and 12" pico chain, little lightsaber for sure, Brad has one that stomped mine though at the Ohio spring race GTG this year, his is strong with a 3/8" 16" I believe.

    The weight difference is noticeable especially with a tiny bar and chain, very nimble.
    I never ran the 241 stock, but have 261 in stock and ported and think a 261 ported is a better saw but the 241 ported is a better partner for the 044

    If i have to do work i like a light nimble tool :)

    That little beast is impressive! Are you running a 7 or 8 pin on it?
