    First MS 441 rebuild...

    I just finished up this saw this afternoon: This is the first time I have pulled one down to do a top end job. It is certainly more complicated and a bit tricky compared to a MS 440 or 460. The stratified scavenging design adds to the complexity and so there are more bits to deal with. This...
