>>1367085That takes all the fun out of it!
>>1367166There was just a thread on /diy/ about a guy building his own chink replica Stihl.
It’s an exact copy of an older but good model (MS600?) and he said the Stihls were well over $1000 and this replica was like $350 if you build it yourself. Supposedly it’s the same thing so if anything breaks, you can replace it with OE Stihl. Anon also said that some shop in his area actually builds the replicas but replaces a couple of the Chinesium parts that are normally the weak link with Stihl parts and sells them around $600-$700.
