Recent completed auctions on Fleebay have had runners going from $330-$400 and most parts saws for under $100.

I just picked up an 056AV Magnum on eBay earlier this month for $285 shipped. The saw is in great shape, with only a chip in the carb box and a bad brake band. I've been watching others on there lately and they're going from anywhere between $150 and $300.

OOOOHHHHH Yea..LOL Here it is
Wildman that's not an original 057, its one of those Chinese knockoffs! If you look really close you can tell the color of the "O" isn't quite right! I hope you didn't pay too much for it! LOL

Unless you need to sell it, that would be a great one to hang on to.

I was considering keeping it for possible milling work but if I ever decided to produce some lumber there are probably better saws....anyone ever milled with an 056?

It would probably be good to keep for that purpose. Big heavy torque monster.
I've become a chainsaw junkie after finding this site, I might have to have some type of intervention if this keeps up. I bought a new 057 AV back in about 1984 and it has been my only saw all this time. Thanks to Craigslist, I've added a MS361 and Husky 346XP to the family. After running the new saws I rarely use the 057 based on its weight. The saw has never been in the shop and will crank on the 3rd pull no matter how long it sits. It still throws chips 2ft and is a beast you can't stall out no matter the tree size. I'm going to put in on Craiglist in the future...what would be a fair price?
I've got to reclaim some of the cash you guys have cost me
Thanks

I have photos, numbers of my saw and would like to find out the truth about it, can anyone help me out with information, did stihl make the 057 Av, electronic quickstop,I've become a chainsaw junkie after finding this site, I might have to have some type of intervention if this keeps up.

i wanna see an 057! one thing i haven't seen when it comes to saws.
Stihl 051 AV (the "1" looks very much like a 7...)
Nice saw, a bit on the heavy side, though.

This 051 AV has the same plate as yours - the font's italic which makes the 1 look a bit like a 7... There were several types of name tag...

Yes my research has shown that the 051 Av was made from 1976 to 1983 and thay had a few version of this saw, all in all its a great saw , runs well , everything works, good buy for $150, cheering. Thanks everyone
The 051 and 056 are two different platforms. Correct? So why would Stihl print an owners manual with both saws?
I'll bet a lot of jaws are dropping after the first sip of coffee on that one How57!!!!!!!!!!
Possibly became the "Super" later on...
