I would go for the 330 it is a better saw with a newer type oiler that is bullet proof. It is also newer and less weight. You are not going to cut anything with a 3800 that you could not do with a 330.

I can’t wait. Hopefully testing will pan out.

Thank you I went today to check it out. The 3800 was gone. But he had a 3400 and a 2000 woodsman. The 3400 was kinda rough but looked to be complete the 2000 was nice. I got the both for 40 don't think I did to good on the price but I drove to get them and was coming home with a saw lol.
I want the 3800 but this will be my first big saw every thing else I have is a plastic poulan or little stihl. I checked the compression and it was at 120 psi seemed a little low where should this saw be at? My plastic saw get to 150 but both my little 2000 woodsman get to 120.

120 is fine there a low compression saw. You did good on the price too
She's a little ugly but I want to clean it all up. It's funny I burn about a cord to a cord and a half a year in my little insert. Up till this year I used a stihl 211c and that was my only saw. Usually I have a jeep project in the garage every winter to keep me busy. Well this year no jeep stuff so I figured I could use a extra saw. Now so far this winter I have bought 9 saws all little plastic poulans but there so cheap and easy. Lol I have enough saws to cut for a long time now.
Get all the covers off give it a good dung out and see what ya got. Pull the muffler and have a gander at the piston but it will run sweet on that compression.
A nice solid mag saw now your into the "real" stuff and will be 1 of many many more lol

Saws are a addictive hobby
No they are not, I can quit any time I want, but I chose not to. Collecting is too much fun as long as the billfold will let me.

Sharp....what mount pattern of bar did you end up putting on that 380?
Hey Steve ,
Have you seen anything interesting lately for sale ? I haven’t been looking like I should . The largemouth have been killing it at Clark Hill !
I'll run a 16 on mine as I have bigger saws but if that's your "big" saw then yeah it's good as gold. No speed machine but itll pull it ok I'm sure.

Fill your hands, you SOB!
It'll work out, no problem. Even if there proves to be some issues we'll use them to improve the replica and make it as good as possible. I'm just doing my due diligence to ensure something good hits the market.
You can rest assured I will have them available. ASAP.
Promise!
