    So I found one on ebay for I think like less than $3 shipped from china. I figured I would try it. When looking at the pics I noticed that it had Oregon on it! I was thinking they copies the part all the way down to brand name casting.

    Its not really from an oregon dealer but one of those chainsaw parts sellers on ebay (not hultz).

    Gonna see how long this one will last. IMG_20151015_182236_784.jpg

    The Chinese will copy stuff to exact detail right down to miss spellings on packaging. I see it all the time with bearings at work. Hard to tell the difference, sometimes the give away is seal quality.

    Got it already. That was it sitting on my dresser. I think it took like 2.5 weeks? Hultz comes in like 10 days usually to me.
