Been way to busy with work et all, not to mention my newer BSM to even think about the CSM, I usually sport a 75cc 372 on my 28" Alaskan. I am in the process as time permits building a saw shed for my mill, and a trailer set up for it, and still recognize the need for a csm in a bsm world.
I have always used 3/8 ripping chain, and have always had access to it in .325, I sharpen my bsm blades at work and was surprised with the amount of interest in CSM/BSM's. I brought my lunch and a 8'6" 17" diameter spruce to work last week, had a G777 small alaskan on the shelf collecting dust and a project CS2159 that I have been trying out an aftermarket ETL cylinder on. Slapped on some Laser .325X0.58X72 DL and a few pieces of unistrut and had at it.
I am not a picture taking person and my digital camera is circa 1996, but it works.....so heres the results.

The best part was killing some time during a slow afternoon, getting sawdust everywhere and getting a few customers interested in CSM'ing!
Brand new a/m p/c first tank of fuel, max rpm set at 12000, 50:1, basically a good torture test for an unknown to me brand (ETL???) piston and cylinder.
