    Decided to try a radiused sear in my next 1911 build, so picked up Harrison's jig. Looking forward to trying this!

    The ECHO CS-2511T is the lightest gas-powered chain saw in North America. The 25.0 cc professional-grade engine delivers incredible horse power from a compact, easily maneuverable body. Other user-friendly features include a fine mesh screen to reduce debris ingestion and an adjustable oiler to match cutting conditions.

    Weighs only 5.2 lbs.
    12 in. bar length handles a wide variety of limbing tasks
    Captive bar nut prevents loss when adjusting chain tension
    3/8 in. pitch, low-profile chain with extra long cutters

    Picked it up yesterday. Used, decent shape. Went in for ammo and maybe a new scope.

    I've got a bigger Stihl and Husqvarna and last time I ran the Stihl cutting firewood, my shoulders were really unhappy. Neither is small enough for the dozens of river birch I need to eradicate from around my pond. I'd be in the hospital trying to maneuver those saws that much, my shoulders are shot.

    I've read a lot of good about the Echos and this one is light. Not much heavier than a big handgun.

    I am defiantly interested after reading how light it is. 23 years ago I worked as a tree climber and used an Echo for my climbing saw it was an excellent piece of equipment as well as all the Stihl logging saw's we had. I have no saw's now and there is a lot of tree work that I need done. Paying someone irks me because I did the work for almost a decade. I read a lot of negative reviews about the new homeowner lines of Stihl and Husqvarna saw's. My brother dropped a large amount on a Husqvarna two years ago and has nothing but troubles with it. I also have some recently diagnosed neuromuscular issues at 41 years of age so the lighter the better.

    This takes me back to around 1966 when I watched a guy cutting firewood with a chain saw and he was telling me how it was the latest and greatest and only small chain saw in the market at that time. If I recall correctly it had like an 18 inch bar. This was on the shore of the Columbia river in Oregon and collecting driftwood was a common thing. My wife has a 12 inch battery one which works surprisingly well.

    This one is so light, I'm thinking I'll have to work out a bayonet attachment just to make liberal heads spin.

    Finally, after 10.5 months in NFA jail.

    EGW makes the first ambidextrous safety design I've been interested in since King's stopped making them.
    The paddles will be reshaped a bit, but this one's going into an all-steel CCO.
