Carlton Forest Champ=JUNK!

[Hard Knocks]

Glad to hear it!

Baily's is sending me a new bar. They don't even want the old one back unless I have problems with the new bar. The guy asked me all the basic questions to make sure that I wasn't a tard and told me about the excessive amount of paint they like to put on them.

So now I have a chunk of scrap metal and new bar on the way.

This was my first purchase from baily's and must say that I am impressed. I will be ordering more parts from them in the future.

That ain't scrap, jhell. Put that bar in your vise and use it to hold your chains while you work on them. Wish I had a scrap bar for that.

 

[jhellwig]

I actually was thinking of doing that. It would work exceptionally well since it would hold the chain real tight. I won't do it till my new bar gets here so I know it works and I don't have send both back.

 

[jhellwig]

BTW: The rep also told me that there was going to be a new line of lower priced bars in place by the end of the month.

Nope, I'm gonna sell him a 441, ya know, that 372 killer,ya know the one thats smoother, cleaner running, burns less gas and has better bar markings and a better chain, and no hump in its back,LOLOL .....

Oh, that fat-arse POS.......:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

:angel:

I don't want one before one of th 4s are replaced by a "6", to defend the weight.....

You could also just have the rails spread on the bar instead of scrapping it.

That would probably cost more than the $17 spent on the bar.

 

[blsnelling]

I bought two of these exact same bars/size and they are both fine.

 

[jhellwig]

Cool beans. So.................How did you like them? Did the work well? Would you by 10 more if needed? :hmm3grin2orange: The last question is optional.

 

[blsnelling]

I bought them for two project 026s that I sold after completion.

Now you see why they are so popular. They take care of any problems that may arise. I prefer to order any parts I need from Bailey's rather than order them locally. The locals all have minimum orders besides not stocking any parts in the first place. I do not care to be put on hold for ten minutes while the dealer is doing something else. Sometimes I get a recorded message telling to call back when they are not so busy. For price quotes it is always a call back an hour or two later. I figure shipping is some what negated by not having to pay sales tax and the parts are delivered to my front door.

One time more
Yes it is a 15" NK .325 Carlton bar, but that is on my Jred 2159 you see

It was just a pic for example :bang:

Yes I need it one more time , junior...

You all do not expect any sane human to read and follow all of this inane ****,
do you? If you have the free time=no girlyfriends, to post pics of your new Jonsereds bar, on a thread needing help with his new carlton bar/ fit problem.

You might catch a few older members, that do not want to read all of this childish drool, and try to help a new poster.

Sorry I am cranky, but you can take your smileys, and place them firmly in your teutonic back yard.

This forum has decomposed into mostly, nevermind.........................

Sorry, bad day at work................................................

Sorry again, I just found out that AS will not give my annual yearly bonus for being instigator, "DUE to lack of posts".............

They have not touched my weekly salary, as my lawyers have seen to that,
but my annual new year stipend, {Which is only a few thousand dollars},
has been suspended indefinitely, until I crank out some more site {compliant}
posts.

Sorry I lashed out, my beef is with the big guys..............

I ordered that bar and chain combo a week before Christmas for my brother as a Christmas present. I didn't get it yet, it's back-ordered. They said they were out of chain.

[jhellwig]

Well I got the new bar today. Chain fits very much better. The only thing I see bad about this bar is that is has an ever so slight bow to it. It also kinda binds the chain on my 028 when I tighten the nuts on the cover.

Kudos to baily's!

 

[McC]

Mine showed up yesterday 1/11. It looks fine. chain slides in groove, sprocket is greaseable. Should work great for my brother who only uses his saw a few times each year. Hard to beat for $20. 18' bar, loop of woodsman pro 20RC it is 325/ .050.

[asb151]

I've also got one of the Forrest Champ combos. Works great. No problems! Why so much fuss about a $19 bar and chain!

I just recently bought a 42" Oregon bar from baileys, box and bar printed for 135 drive links.

Actually took 122 DL. Maybe baileys is selling factory rejects???

As a rule, a bar will take different drive link counts depending on what pitch chain your running. If you have something to say, don't put in the form of a question. Just say it and we'll deal with it. I'm not singling you out. It's the same thing reporters and commentators ( posing statements in the form of a question) do so they don't have to take responsibility for their comments. And no we don't sell factory rejects. If we did, we would certainly disclose it. OK I'll get off my soapbox now.
