    Another to consider is Zoo City Saws, Randy aka Termitebuffet aka midhet pig builds a good saw also.

    The town I now live in is small 1,000 ish. I grew up all over the south, paw, was a pipefitter/ fabrication superintendent for Brown and Root. I was Combat disabled and medically retired. We doing well still gainfully enlisted and my Commander in Chief, Clinton decided to down size the military. How he did it was everyone that was injured inside a certain range of dates, we were all retired. Just before this I had just re-enlisted for 6 more. Was a huge surprise to get a pink slip. My one star was none too happy. He escorted my to my medical review, trying to keep me in. Did not work, boy those Lt's and Commanders did not know what to do with a one star. Best laugh I had that day. Needless to say I was retired. He placed a few calls, had a job in a few minutes. Guess it paid to take shrapnel for a bird, some don't forget, who was injured/retired, and who had no scratches and got promoted. I still work for Uncle Sugar. I did take a transfer here. Best place I have ever been stationed. I live in GODS country.
    Hunting anything that can kill you is a rush. I enjoy bear hunting with a pistol, its a thrill! On the ground with a grizz, two paws with 5 claws 4-6 inchs long.

    So my hacked up saw must sell for a premium now ;)

    I've only run Mastermind and mdavlee ported saws, both are fun. Where's jon1212 to remind us it's a fad?

    Lol
    My construction season is starting to wind down , I should be back in shop after thanksgiving.
    I have a few saws here already prolly be after the new year before I could to get any more.
    I'm slow I don't make a job out of saws I like to take my time and not see how many I can do! I rather spend extra time fulfilling the saw owners needs and get the gains they want..

    Scott Kunz Treemonkey did my ms361. It's awesome. Randy Mastermind did my MS461 and MS261. They are great.

    I have saws modded by Mastermind and termitebuffet (Zoo City Sawz)
    My 18 year old has been running his ZCS 359 for a little over two years. My 395XP will be headed to NC in a couple of weeks, and my 261C-M will be going to TN.
    I am getting ready to send my oldest boy a ZCS 262XP for his first saw.....
