I'm telling you that saw is mint! other than the sticker on the front it is perfect. pics do not do it justice. A little back story, I bought this saw from Justin, and then like 2 days later my buddy Kenis (Dexter Day) posted his up for sale. Justin wound up buying that saw. We wound up trading back and I paid the difference bc Dex's saw was already ported by Randy and I only had 3 spots reserved with Randy at the time and had 4 saws to port.
Other than the sticker, this saw is mintier than Dex's saw..... and that is saying a lot bc Dex is known for taking care of his equipment. I recall Dex saying some months back "that he takes care of his equipt, and it takes care of him when it's time to sell it."
I promise you all that this saw is 100%. It is mint. During it's short stay with me, I only started it (didn't have a bar in Stihl mount yet, and my new Cannon bar is still on order) so I didn't cut with it. I will attest that it does start and run as it should. Buy with confidence from Justin. All of my transactions have gone without incident, and are handled promptly. He communicates well keeping the buyer aware of the timeline/shipping. He is one of our finest contributing members here on AS.
