    No. Scam. And it's a split case (magnesium) design with cylinder on case (like a Pro saw)

    I got a small 38 cc and the big 45cc. The 38 cc was "As is" (was slightly used, had some chips on it and not in a factory package), but the 45cc was brand new, in a factory sealed box. They both came with everything needed. Bar, chain, scrench, scabbard, manual, etc. But because they are sold "As is" some may or not be used.


    After looking at the Quake and my Blue max. They have the same cases, most plastic, etc. Most likely the same saw, just different colors. May be slight differences? But I will take pics of the 100 things that are Similar in Every single possible way.

    Don't have a Husq to check? Give me some pics and measurements (Tape measure in pics would help a lot).

    It's almost addicting. I just sold my 044. So a 261c-m may be in my future??

    I'll take some pics maybe tomorrow? I'm in town with the wife's family now. Be back home tomorrow. I actually have the husky 445 with me but not really in a spot to take bar off for pics. Yep I travelled to family Thanksgiving with a saw!! But I took it to trim the tree we delivered. Could I have done it with a hand saw...yes but not as much fun nor as cool.!

    Great looking pair there Dex. The plastics on those looks to be much nicer than my 52cc gem. The plastic on that one is just bad.

    The one is new (45cc). The other (38cc), looks used for 5 min. More pics tomorrow

    But both run good :)

    They are really good saws for under $50. Adjustable oiler, split mag cases, cyl on case, adjustable carb (H and L).

    I found that site because of a member that has 8 of them. I asked to buy one of his, and he shared the link and discount code. When you buy one, you will get a code anyways for 12% off anything on the site.

    Still wish I had a mid 50 cc or bigger model, but this Earthquake is gonna suffice.

    On that main screen with the saws. Pull all the way below the as is saws. Very bottom of page its in the "footer" line basically.

    But yea a good deal. Like I said the bar chain is worth $25-30!

    I figure I'll buy it and if I don't like or want it throw on CL for $30 and prolly get it!

    Are the H, L acres flat head or the husky style?

    And there will be at least one to show upto SC as well! Wonder if this guy can track sales by the creastion of threads hee or at AS?

    Seriously I know he prolly sells hundreds of the things and buys container loads of them but wonder if this thread has pushed his sales uP in the short term?

    Got mine today. It was lovingly packaged in an Earthquake power auger box. Thought I ordered the wrong thing for a minute.

    This one has seen wood before. Not for long though, or they did a good job cleaning it. One observation was the chain was on the bar backwards. Not sure if that is the way it was packaged or if that's the reason for the original return. I can only imagine.

    I dumped a bit of 40:1 I had left over in it, filled the bar and chain oil, managed to flood the hell out of it, but did get it running. Definitely needs some carb adjustments. Seems to be way too rich. I sunk it in a chunk of spruce out back and it did an OK job for not having done anything to it yet. Not a bad deal for $48.40 shipped. :)

    If I needed it, I'd be all over its 35cc counterpart for a limbing saw. Not that I really needed this one either but what the heck.

    That's how my 38cc was packaged. Seen wood for a minute.

    For the price? Can't be beat!
