Well you, me, and 16 other folks have had a look at it so far.
To my knowledge that's only the second saw of that model out and about on this continent and the first to be "massaged".
PS I have a 12 and 14 inch bars with loops of square PS ready to go 
.This fella is pretty smooth with a small saw
What nice spruce
That is one mean sounding saw!!
The 310 was a farm ranch saw(most definitely
.
I'm still using the 310. He is old and tired but still fires up nice. It was my main saw for many a year cutting 12+ cord/yr. Now he wears a 16" bar with skip tooth chain for cutting the small stuff. 361 replaced him as the go-to.
I have a 310 that I haven't used since I bought the 460. Which doesn't get as much use since I bought the 661. The Subaru is getting new tyres tomorrow. I'll see if they have an 880 at the Stihlorium.

That's cool.
I have a buddy who had an ms311, he said he would never sell it(I enjoy hearing that lol). He got a 361 and it wasn't long before he got an 046 and sold the 311, next thing you know I sold him a 576 and he said "I'm in love"
.The other good ones are the guys who have a great pro saw and say they will never sell it, then a couple years later they send it packing , those are the guys that say something like "they'll have to rip ... from my cold dead hands and many of them even have that in their signature
. Even though I have a fondness for the small huskys like the 346/353 there will always be other saws hitting the market or that I may discover that I would enjoy more. The 550/545 are right there and so is the stihl 261, but that doesn't even get into the rest of the saw manufactures, I'll just continue to try them all 
.There's a reason guys like the ms200, and that stihl had been known for a long time as the place to go for a strong small cc saw. Part of the ms200 becoming a legend also stems from the failed beginnings of the ms201, now with the 201c stihl has redeemed themselves, but they lost so followers in the process to the echo, and husky top handles/small cc rear handles and dolmar/makita here as well.

I cut red maple. The stuff I cut was way darker than that. Even after it dried for a year.

I picked up a 3120 when I was shopping for a big saw. The 395 is where I draw the line.
I agree, the only way you should sell it is when you've already replaced it with two other saws

Kids had a blast at Uncle Mikes Cabin. We even managed to work up there and built a little wood shed.
Not scrounge related but I hit the big five oh this weekend and celebrated with a fishing trip with the boys. Fish didn’t really cooperate but the scenery is fantastic. This is French River, Ontario. 
Very nice!
