Nope the 017s are clamshell based, not mag. Many of the parts interchange with the 170 and the newer 171s though. Very little has changed except the plastics.

Interesting. Did not know that. I have an 031AV that is still magnesium, but hell, who knows how old that thing is!

Me? Oregon full chisel full comp 3/8 50ga, I trimmed down a 72 driver into a 60 for my 16inch mac bars and then sharpened it and took the rakers down to where they belong for a 70cc saw hahaha

My friend always cut his depth guides down on his.

Alright fellas, I was actually fortunate enough to purchase my dream and just got it in today.

This isn't saw related, but...
Spring turkey hunting opened today in WI, and I got a Jake around 7:00 PM with a 20ga. Sure, a nice 25# Tom with an 11" beard is nice and all, but a bird in the freezer is worth at least two in the bush.

Don't usually post pics w/ myself in them, but this is kinda special. Made good memories hunting with dad today. Pic kinda sucks.

Do any of you guys turkey hunt?

Good evening gentlemen, been following your thread for awhile, seem like a great bunch of men and some interesting reading, watch out for that Texan though lol.

Welcome! We love getting new regulars!

I deer hunt, turkey hunt on rare occasion, I really enjoy hunting!

Nice bird, haven't been going on two years. I'm still kind of nervous about shooting something with a lot of recoil. Guess I need to get out the canons and breath some fire through them and see if my neck and heading can take it.

Nice, I don't hunt, although I would very much like to. Closet I've ever got to hunting was accidentally scaring a rabbit out of the bushes right into the path of an oncoming car. You get the rest of the picture.

I really enjoy coyote hunting, when I was in high school my best friend and I used to go a few nights a week, more or less and excuse to burn up the backroads, but hey, it was fun. I haven't been in years, oh how the times have changed.

Oooooh, love me a redhead, I would like to trade my 390xp for a 2188

I absolutely agree, husky is awesome, but not nearly as easy on the eyes as a J-red!
