    I'm looking for a 3/4 wrap handle, Stihl OEM or USA Madsens, for my MS660. Thanks

    As of a couple of months ago a small number of the 660 version was still available from Madsens and they're priced pretty good for new. I'm assuming you're looking for used, but figured I would throw that out there. Good luck!

    Thanks. I called Madsen's today and they're sold out as of a couple of months ago. Madsen's Rep. also said the company that made the USA 3/4 wrap handle went out of business. The Madsen Rep. didn't understand why because that product sold well.

    From what I hear it was one guy that built the wrap handles, and he had to quit due to failing health...

    What brake handle does the saw have. You may have to change it also. The weber customs handles are real nice.

    It's a newer model. Jacob J told me a new Stihl 3/4 handle would fit according to the brake serial #. Madsen's are selling new OEM 3/4 wraps for around $143....dealer is $183.

    9103 will work. 9105 won't. The weber handle is around $130 shipped.

    I think the Weber is full wrap only.

    It is full wrap. Some prefer that to the 3/4.
