    This came yesterday... which only means its a matter of finding an hour to let the new girl eat.

    Thanks again @HittinSteel for my first ported toy, I mean tool.

    And if you've been sleeping, once she eats and I deem her a keeper, the 441 is going live. Teaser...

    Nope. I grabbed a Mastermind'd 372xp from HittinSteel.

    But I only have bigger Stihl bars, so that is a bar adapter from Homelite410 on AS.

    And pending some work with the new to me 372xp, that 441C-M will hopefully find a new home in a FHCer's stable.

    If he would have had his $600 441 ported for $300 then he would have had $900 in the saw. He bought my ported 372 for $580 and now can sell the 441 and have a net gain of $20, plus avoid the $300 porting cost for a net savings of approximately $320. Clear as mud? :dancer:

    Ported 441s are ridiculous. Ridiculously strong that is.

    Even stock, I predict that saw doesn't last an hour in the classifieds.

    Add about a 1/2" to the bar slot and open the adjuster holes up to take the husky adjuster pin and you'll be goof to go. I've not got to run a ported 441cm. I do like a ported 372. I've got one in line to do for myself.

    Oh yes, got here last Thursday and it was packed nicer than it would have left the factory. I started her up just because but have been waiting on that adapter to cut anything.

    Those Ohio boys have all the ported fun at their disposal. I had to jump at the bit to potentially break even while reeling in a Mastermind'd saw, so no ported 441's in my near future.

    Thanks for the bar mods, I am going to bring it in to work since I don't even own a drill press (how sad is that?!)
