yeah I got to the post office and I see it standing up with bubble wrap on one end. Thinking that's odd....yikes. Had the tip wrapped up in the bubble wrap.
My dealer doesn't stock cannon bars. Cuz he sucks! lol
Even with out the tip on it's still bad ass!! LOL
Going to wait to hear back from those guys before I do anything. Also emailed cannon just asking for an opinion on if it could just use a new tip. I don't want to ship this back and wait for a new one...I just want it work.

looked at it closer. Thinking it's going to require more than just a tip change.

It looks pretty fooked to me! Sorry about your bad luck, but I would want it replaced, assuming that you paid for a new, undamaged bar.looked at it closer. Thinking it's going to require more than just a tip change.
Any idea what the oil feed hole looks like on that bar? Diameter and is it drilled straight.

We have those bars over here up to 72"
A wee bit steep on the price tho.
I can't believe that bar got damaged like that going through the mail I took a 36" on domestic plane service through nZ just in my back pack and just fitted in back pack it went in cargo hold on plane and through the luggage carousel and it was good as
It's got me f$&ked how that got damaged like that.! They must have Ben using it as a crowbar on a demolition site or something

We're I'm moving to I got some blue gum trees in the gum family anyway the trunks are big the diameter is about 3 people's arms around if you know what I mean. Also some big a%ss old man pines I will be running the 661 with 36" and or 25" bar and the 066 all day long will get a few more tanks the 661 once I start that
Sweet. That is an awesome bar man! If i had seen a pic of that before I bought my Oregon I would have bought the Cannon instead. I really like the shape of it. Is there any way to somehow accurately measure the oil hole? Maybe see what the largest size drill bit will fit in it?here ya go man. to me it looks a touch bigger than a stihl port.

So, I guess I will be waiting yet another day for my 661R. I strongly advise against anyone buy anything at "Cypress Lawn and Turf in Cypress, Texas. So, my brother finally picked up my saw today for me and it was assembled and fueled. That is after I originally talked to him about ording the saw and said I wanted it in the original box, my brother told him in a box when he paid for it, it was written on the receipt, and I told them again on the phone when it came in. Then there was the fact that they missed their projected delivery date by like 8 days! Now it will be yet another day before my brother ships it because he has to track down a box and packaging materials. I am soooo fed up with this whole situation!!!

I know its frustrating. I had to wait almost a full year for the re-release to get ahold of one of these saws. I can assure you that it will be worth the wait. Hang in there, buddy!

Hang in there paylesspizzaman
It's gonna be worth it I had a play with the 661 yesterday and you will be surprised the saw will put smile on your dial.
It really f$%ks me off when people can't follow instructions its so simple...
Went to the dealer today to perv on the saws and see if the prices have gone up NO INCREASE in price they still the same as before New Years anyway I went there to get some chain for the 661 and I said I wanted a 25" chain and the man said no you want a 22" I said to him "no" I want a 25" then he checked the saw on the shelf it was a 22" and said you want a 22" I said no my 661 came with a 25" bar chain cause that's what "I wanted"
Anyway long story short I said check the computer found my account and sure enough he went away and got a 25" chain
Anyway paylesspizzaman you will be happy with the 661 just a shame you got dicked around by the dealer and the postage system

Paylesspizzaman as I said in the thread above
The 661 made me Wana cream my pants...!!!!
"It's a saw that everyone should have"
I'm paying $1160 for the regular MS661 and $1210 for the MS661R.
Generally, the dealer is REQUIRED to fuel it and test that it runs before it leave the shop.
I'm actually very surprised at the prices of the 661. Compared to a 461 (which is a great saw but lacks many new features) and 660s, I think it is very reasonably priced.

I don't know. I do know the saws I've bought in the past from other dealers, they would run them to tune the saw. Obviously the 661 is an autotune saw though, so not sure if they would still run it just to make sure it runs? It might be that the dealer I bought the 661 from only sells like one big saw a year and he wanted to play with it. Thank you for checking that oil hole for me too.
