Can anyone date this saw? May take it n on part trade. I know it has way to much bar on it. Would that big bar of hurt the saw?

Looks like mine as far as I can tell, bought mine in the 1990's. Throw a 20" bar on that thing and you will be happier with it.

Early 2000's. MS series came out in 99. Check all mounts for wear as that long of a bar was obviously put on by a not so experienced user and it will kill the mounts. Do not go over $150 in trade value.

Agreed! :beer:

I own an ms290 with the 20" bar it's an amazing saw.

Looks like the guy took off his 20 inch bar to keep and put that one on for the trade.
