    Is listed in the 2021 catalogue

    and the 881 Magnum, no c designation

    and the MS661 Magnum non c

    Could they be abandoning c?

    Not abandoning, just meeting the “wants” of big saw users. Most loggers and guys who mill want to have the ability to tune the saw themselves

    This would be good news for me as I'm in looking mode for a 461. Wonder if my local "Ace" saw shop (I say that in sarcasm...:whistle:) would be able to look in their handy dandy catalogue and order me one??? May have to stop in on my way home today...

    Thanks for the heads up Chud!!!:yes:

    If they look at you with a blank stare tell them it’s in the book

    Haha...that's funny too...

    Remember the other 461 thread where I said "dealer looks at me like I've got 2 heads when I ask about a 461" ....? Well, I'll give you two guess which "dealer" I was speaking of and I bet you won't need but 1 guess....:rolleyes:

    Looks like it’s going to be a few weeks before I get my next tax refund, so I’ll continue to saw shop for others in the meantime.

    I’ll take all the help I can get, but like you, I’m about 4 weeks till bonus time so I’m currently “shopping” for the future purchase.
