    I have not priced them recently. They used to be 1500 msrp. I figure they would get dealer pricing. I got the one for work for $1150 with 32” light bar. There’s probably a list of folks that want a bbr endorsed 500 for 2200. Videos don’t always show everything, but it appears to be all show no go. Definitely not ripping through a big log like an XS500.

    I don't mind that guy as much as some people do; I just don't have the time to get sucked into one of his grueling videos that could be condensed down to 10-15 minutes.

    I'm afraid I'm blissfully unaware of whatever transpired there.

    Just don't send anything to Iron horse that you can't or don't want to live without.

    Fair enough, I can butcher my own crap up as good as he can any day of the week :rofl: :lol: Actually I'm thinking about trying my hand at porting my Echo CS-370, since it's only an Echo CS-370...

    It's pretty fun to see, hear and feel the difference in a saw when you port it. My stuff isn't anywhere near a professionals gains but still reasonably impressive for a hack. Lol.

    I'm happy with the extra sausage treatment Kevin gave my 029, and wouldn't mind trying it myself on a 12 year old homeowner saw that owes me nothing.

    Same here. Anything I care about and want real performance from goes to Kevin. Cheap or free saws are what I play with for the porting practice. I have zero plans of being a saw porter. I only do my own stuff and have given most of them away.

    I only started this journey so I understood what the guys were talking about and it snowballed into having to see it for myself.

    Latest one of mine. Early 70's 34cc Remington. Thats maple. These are nowhere near this powerful stock. I did all kinds of mods to this with reckless abandon because I have many of these as well as a tote full of used and NOS parts.

    Retirement plan. Buy a semi load now, sell when gas saw products are illegal to produce anymore.

    Awe ain't she cute :p Looks like that little saw rips! I like that air cleaner on there, it's kind of a rat rod of a vintage saw.
