Just purchased a MS260 kit from these folks. It was unusable. The plating was so thin I wouldn't dare try to assemble it and run it, the ports were so sloppy I wondered if the QC guy was blind that inspected and packed it. I tried my camera to post a review here but could not get the pics to come out satisfactorily -- otherwise you'd be surprised how sloppy this kit was.
On another note, I have purchased useable items from them, and they gave me a full refund after some reaming out. These days I'd much rather have a used OEM cylinder than take a chance on some of this stuff. My 2 pennies.

I got a kit from them for my 044. It arrived a couple weeks ago, and on a quick look-over looked decent, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to put it together. I got no time for 'nothin round here...
I've bought several minor things from them but I always keep in mind that when you get it, the item is yours, good or bad, you can not send it back for a refund. It is not cost effective.
When dealing with Hong Kong in general, if you send the item back, that is the last you will see of it or your money.

Don't sweat that Golf piston too much!!!
I have one in my 372 and it runs pretty good.
Several truckloads of wood cut with that saw now and (so far) absolutely zero reliability issues!

How long for delivery
I ordered the 51MM NIKASIL CYLINDER PISTON WITH GASKET FOR HUSQVARNA 575 from them. I was wondering how long it took for your kits to be delivered from Hong Kong?

Interested in how you checked the thickness of the plating ??
Xray vision ??
Also how you get a full refund on "useable " items ?? seems to me if an item is useable there is no reason for a refund ??
Way to get satisfaction from a company,,,REAM them out !! ,, makes them want to help solve a problem all the more !! LOL !!
I had a problem with a kit from them,,upper txfers were not very nice,,,,one email with pix and discription and explanation in a "nice" way got me an offer of a full refund or a heck of a discount on another order..
after explaining to them that i could with a little grinder work make the kit useable ( and better ) they still extended the offer.
i got more parts CHEAP,,ground on the jug ,,got a nice running saw and everybody was HAPPY !!!

My wording of the post was a bit ambiguous. As I reviewed it I understand now the way you took it -- 2 run on sentences unconnected. The useable items were those in other purchases and not connected to this issue. The unusable cylinder kit was refunded, after days of what appeared to be communication problems. The customer service person seemed to have difficulty understanding ENGLISH. I did communicate but the language barrier seemed significant. The reaming out came after multiple messages over the problem (at this point they had not even offered a refund).
Having worked in fabrication, machining and manufacturing for most of my life I must say the quality of this particular product was disappointing to me. My last position was head of QC. I did not test the thickness of the plating, it was visibly poor to the eye. Your encouragement may help me look into it, thanks.
Incidentally I left NO feedback (which means to me though the item was "not as described"). I passed on the opportunity to negative rep them. Incidentally I am happy with the outcome, just unhappy that the saw is still sitting without the parts I need. I don't intend to modify what is listed as a useable part - that's my preference. I have purchased a number of aftermarket parts from various vendors and been fully satisfied with them. The aftermarket issue is a "non issue" with me. The issue with this cylinder was actually the first for me. Thanks for your interest, have a great day.

I finally went to the dark side and bought my first Chinese top end from hutzl, for a Husky 55......I couldn't see anything that needed "tweaking".....I didn't like the look of the ring, so put a new Caber in, but other than that it's right out of the box. Waiting on a carb kit for the Zama, so I can give it a test run, but I'll be putting it through the paces. :msp_thumbsup:

The last one i finished was a 55 from them..
( the 346 is still in a box )
the 55 was quite awhile ago and still going.
I didnt think much of the ring but supposed to be the new " thing " in rings,,so i used it..
i think they got that one down pretty good,,but IS a simple setup anyway..
and durn,,for the price to get a $100 saw going how can you complain ???

If you work on chainsaws and buy AM parts for 1/6 the price of OEM ,,,and been working in fab and man,,and cant handle a little modding you probly shouldnt be in the game of saw work or anything in your job discription..
all i know how to do is put a bit in my dremmel and i can grind a bit and make these cheap AM kit bring a broken saw back to life and scream better than new !!
maybe it's not thier difficulty understanding ENGRISH but your communication skills..
Still ,, you got satisfied with the outcome of the deal and still complain ??
funny how they have a %99.8 rating on ebay,,,thats almost perfect for over TEN thousand sales ??
that leaves you in what percentage of customers ??
