Most likely does- but freight from there to here is worth more than they are asking for the bar in most instances. 6,500 miles of ocean to cross then land travel down both our major Islands to me- gets spendy.
Wasn’t overly impressed with 090 ran a couple, like the 125’s better, but even one has there own opinion .
Saw tuning and performance, and chain sharpening has everything to do with it.
It does. I'll just consider myself the better chain sharpener.
Absolutely. I have a friend that knows how to sharpen chains well for GTG's. And he uses a progressive raker gauge. He's killing at the GTG's because the others are so worried about their port jobs and the style of chain they use, they have not put enough time into the sharpening part. A lot of the time he's using an old chain with shorter cutters...less friction mass than newer cutters. Dials in each cutter with a progressive raker gauge. Eventually, they'll figure out what he's doing and copy.
lovely saw, just out of interest what bar oil and 2t oil do you use. whatever it is it's stood the test of time and has plenty of work hours on it.
I'm running Amsoil dominator. 40:1 with Ethanol free fuel. Just started using some Amsoil bar oil to test out the tackiness and thickness. Yeah these things were built to the hilt back then. Spared no expenses, heavier than some in today's world. Bit big bucking jobs, stumps and general tree work it still really shines. It's wearing a 50 inch Cannon bar now.
I agree man I miss many of those guys
been a coins age. That .404 chain is rugged. The older saws like my 2101 have heavier flywheels too, aiding for torque. In big wood the keep pulling. I used to have a 2100 homelite as a kid in my 20s. 36inch roller nose, man I thought I was something lol. But that thing cut!
Never tried one, seen a few around though

I have run more of there GB Australian bars than I have Cannon one, but in my limited experience I would put them on an even par.
Nice that's good info! Thank u.Never tried one, seen a few around though
Just so happened I was able to find a GB 42" bar in .404 D009 that still has some original paint on the tops of the chain rails for a very reasonable price.
