I'd say most of those folks are trying to protect their turf. It's starting to look bad on them, imo.Exactly right. When people bash them I ask which ones they've owned. 99 percent haven't had one.

I took some on trade on chainsaws. The 9mm I wanted for one reason. Made right down the road from me about 25mins. The other was a .45 and think it or the .40 was made south of me 20mins.My brother bought one when they first came around. $89 brand new. He brought it over to shoot. Ugliest thing I ever seen and felt like holding a 2×4. I was shooting my Beretta 92. We shot several brands of ammo, mostly cheap stuff. That Hi point never missed a beat and was just as accurate as my Beretta.

Never shot a taurus version. I've had my Beretta over 30 years. Very reliable pistol.My BIL has a Taurus 92 I drool over.
Good question. Kinda caught me off guard. I guess I didn't realize there were professional tree guys in China. It would be interesting to know.Back on topic for the thread, does anyone know what chainsaws the pros in China use?
In the mid 90sNever shot a taurus version. I've had my Beretta over 30 years. Very reliable pistol.
In the mid 90s
I had a Taurus pt100 afs stainless .40
They were built on Beretta machinery licensed to Taurus
Cocked and locked and double action with a decocker
I'd love to find another one
Very accurate pistol actually shot better than a Beretta 96 .40 i also had.
If only my pecker was that long...........So many guys out there milling with these saws. G888 clone of MS880 Gen2 ported. 76" bar he just got in for Christmas.
You take care of your saws of any brand clone oem they take care of you. Parts cost so cheap too so dont matter if need a crank or whatever down the road.
Clones put people in stuff that cost same as a freaking oem plastic saw that cost them more.
This guy has many and been using them over 5 years now too.

I carry a Kimber myself a 9 for around the house and a 45 on the road. I gots a deep wallet...lolReminds me a lot of High Point. Super cheap guns, universally reviled by those who have never owned one, but not thought badly of by actual owners.
Not my thing, either way. I carry a Glock, and have OEM Stihl saws, but I see the parallels.
The key is whether the name-brand companies exercise due diligence on quality control wherever the parts are manufactured. If they do, it does not matter where they are manufactured. You might remember that people once thought that Japanese cars built in the USA would be inferior in quality to those built in Japan, but they are not. Toyota, Nissan, Honda and Subaru all have manufacturing plants in the USA, and the quality has not suffered. Even those brands have some parts made in China. As for the Chinese saws, I have no information on their quality, but I think any parts made for Stihl or Husqvarna in China are likely to be built to the same standards as anywhere else.Somehow there's lot's of experts on the china saws who've never owned or I doubt even ran them.
The oem saws are filled with china parts now who knows what percentage.
Over the year's I've swapped out dozens of oem china carbs and parts for new oem china carbs and parts from the dealerships.
It's nonsense for anyone to think the oem Stihl or Husqvarna whatever is 100% made by that manufacturer
It's a global market they cut cost and outsource oem parts and manufacturing
There's Stihl and Husqvarna manufacturing entire product lines in china.
The clone saws are fun to mess with build them how i like and inexpensive
Try finding a oem builder 288 or a 372 for under 200.00 here that hasn't been run over by a skidder.
I was curious now too. Never been on their website. But on mine spelled right on their web. Link to where that was at? https://www.hi-pointfirearms.com/index.php#From the Hi Point website--never heard of them so I had to check.
Find your caribne.
The 3095 - 3895 - 995 - 4095 - 1095 - 4595 or the Classic 995!
Gotta love it--such attention to detail. (Not dissing them, just found it funny.)
Guys are kinda' straight laced around here. Try the other forum and you're likely to get all kinds of responses about your pecker.If only my pecker was that long...........
On second thought, maybe not. too big to store it anywhere outta sight....

Called production oversight and it's one thing that Harbor Freight has become real good at which us the prime reason why the have more than one line of tools and accessories. The cheap stuff like Warrior has no oversight, where as the Icon, Bauer and Chief have strict oversight. if left to their own devices, the Chinese will turn out sub par products and sell them cheap here and in Europe but with strict oversight they can and will produce quality stuff for less than domestic or European manufacturers can because the cost of production is higher than in China. HF and Grizzly do it right. Problem with Grizzly is Balola has gotten greedy which is why I don't buy there offerings. Used to, not any more. Still get their glitzy catalog which I round file now.The key is whether the name-brand companies exercise due diligence on quality control wherever the parts are manufactured. If they do, it does not matter where they are manufactured.
