I said VA, not CVA. The 2300VA has anti-vibe on the front handlebar only, which the PP225 has (looks like double rubber buffers above the clutch cover.) The CVA has full anti-vibe, with a big carrier under the rear handle, as well. If there's one thing I'm pretty good at, it's searching these interwebs. I bore deep into their bowels when necessary, trouble is having the right search terms (like knowing I was looking at a 2300-related saw.) That's where Poulan wizards like you folks come in handy, and I appreciate it.

Searching for saw-related information while AS was down was a challenge - it is the main source of relevant information about older saws, and details about what saws are related, which saws have parts that interchange, etc. I had to use the internet cache sites while AS was down (wayback machine, google cache), and even then, the pics didn't work. Sadly, AS returned, but many pics didn't, thanks to vile hacker scum.

I could use one or two of those as well if they are available. I picked up another 306 that might be a runner, and the filters I have for my 245's don't look all that great.

someone needs to reproduce those 306/245 filters, I think Oregon has someone make a few of the others. I am sure they come from China,

I think it's funny how when I hang out here in the Poulan and McCulloch stickies, I almost completely forget what it's like in the "main" AS areas. I mean, if you ask a question there about any of "these" saws, you'll only get one of two answers: "Go to a Stihl dealer and get a real saw", or "Go to a Husky dealer and get a real saw." Until I found the stickies, it didn't feel like AS was a place I'd really care to hang out. I mean, even if I did get an orange saw, it would be something so old that the folks on the "main" AS areas wouldn't approve. "Why fight with an overweight, out-of-date saw? Get a new pro XXX and be done with it." As if all we wanted to do was be done with it and cut wood. Where's the fun in that?

Guys like that probably only shoot Glocks, and can't understand why I have guns from Spain and the Czech Republic.

Watch it, I know what your trying to say, but keep it civil. I shoot Glocks and Colts.

DA triggers should only be made on revolvers, they have no place on a pistol.

Back at you Tim. Is the leg back to 100% yet?

Thanks Stephen. It's getting there. The tendon is great and I can do any of the dumb things I did before. The foot muscles still need work.
Other than that I don't think anything on me is at 100% anymore unless you use the geezer bell curve.

I "think" technically, the ones on the left are pistols...and the ones on the right are revolvers. :D But, the terms get used interchangeably by most folks when talkin handguns. Just like some think Stihl's & Husqvarna's are real chainsaws. When we all know REAL chainsaws were GREEN and made in Shreveport La. :rolleyes:

Gregg,
 
Happy New Year all. Nice hand guns there also. For revolvers I always liked the term wheel gun.

I got a little freeby the other day with a scored piston and cylinder. Looked like it was straight gassed. Both intake and exhaust side were bad. The saw came with a case so I took it. Found a used piston and cylinder on ebay 25.00 with 10.00 shipping. Put it in and with a little filing on the chain it cuts pretty good. Never had one of these before and just found my loaner saw.

For the niche they were designed to fill, they are just about perfect.
Just too many idiots buying a $99.00 saw to do the work of a $500.00 saw, and homeowners who know NOTHING about saw care and maintenance, gave it a bad name.
" I bought that saw last year and used it one time and this year when I tried to start it, the dang thing was dead!"
Wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard that.

ahh...I thought it must be something like that. I didn't know some semi auto's could have DA triggers. I seem to remember a plastic model of a Luger that I built as a kid that had a DA trigger but it was only a toy. Most of mine are s&w and ruger revovlers.

Many semi-auto handguns have DA triggers. Most of those have a DA/SA setup, where the first shot (when the hammer is at rest) is DA, and the remaining shots are SA. Examples include the first thru third generation S&W auto pistols, most Sigs, the H&K USP series, and most Beretta 92/96 pistols. Then there are the DA-only variants. Those are terrible. A Glock trigger is sort of "in between". It's either a very long/heavy SA trigger, or a short DA trigger (depending on who you talk to).

Double or Single Action refers to what 'actions' are being done as the trigger is pulled. With Single Action, the hammer or striker is only being released. That's the one 'action'. With Double Action, the striker or hammer is being cocked and then released. Those are the two 'actions' being done by the trigger pull. On a Glock, the striker is partially cocked when the slide is in battery and the trigger is at rest. Pulling the trigger draws the striker fully back and then releases it..............so it is in effect a Double Action trigger.............albeit a somewhat unique one. S&W Sigma, S&W M&P, and Springfield Armory XD series autos all have this same "Glock style" trigger. Glock calls it "safe action" (notice the S and A like Single Action......I don't think that's an accident).

Funny thing is that most people don't know that Glock did NOT invent that trigger style. Gaston Glock looked at several patents before designing his G17 for the Austiran military (he had zero firearms design experience before that). Smart move. Bill Ruger said several times that he used to do the same thing (spending hours reading through the firearms patents). Why reinvent the wheel? Anyway, several years before Glock there was the H&K VPZ70 (released in 1970). That was a polymer framed, striker fired pistol with a trigger system very close to the design used in the Glock. The VP70 (military version) had a combination shoulder stock/holster setup that when attached to the pistol turned it into a 3 round burst subgun! Then there's the Roth-Steyr M1907 pistol (an Austiran pistol first issued in 1909). That's the striker fired pistol that both H&K and Glock looked at when designing their striker fired models. The details of that trigger are a bit different, but it functions in the same manner as the Glock trigger designed almost 80 years later.

We carry G23's at work and you can make them full auto very easily ;). But you cant control them to any degree then :eek::D.

I like them for work, but not for my own or house.

Kevin we really need to talk in private about our vocations. We're issued G17's. I carry an H&K USP45 by choice (1911's are verboten, as the dept does not allow SA autos). We have a G18C at work (it's kept at the range of course). It's much more controllable with a shoulder stock. I've also fired a non-C G18, and those are much harder to control than a 'C' variant. Those 18C's are a hoot.:D

I was actually quite surprised on how well the saw was designed. When tearing down a saw that far you get to see how it is really made. The oiler works great the chain brake is not bad and easy to remove. Like you said for what they were intended for not a bad saw. The only thing was no antivibe, but who cares for occasional use.

Nice group Gregg. Can you get ammo for the CZ?
