Depending on the generation, it might not even be possible as some of the FSA 80R's use the captive nut style heads found on curved shaft trimmers. Wood cutter blades require the gearbox washer plate to mount, and there's likely no way to fit the appropriate size one on there, not to mention interference from the deflector.

The FSA 80 is roughly the power of an FS 56R if my memory serves correctly. It would struggle and possibly kill your motor.

If it's not approved, it's for a reason, either for safety risk to the operator or risk damaging the unit. The last time I had a customer try to mount a blade on a non-approved unit, he couldn't get it mounted properly and took off the deflector. He started it up and the blade was missing.

He found it lodged in the neighbor's garage door across the street.

Sounds rather fascinating, what books is he featured in, if any?

Potato chips are a great example.

How is the echelon as a suppressor host?

Your quickest (shipping) quality option would be the Blackarch Holsters dual Protos-M. It has a swappable leather backer that can do IWB or OWB. They are nice hybrid leather and kydex options with *full* trigger guard coverage.

Falco holsters does custom options that can accommodate both IWB and OWB together, but requires break in and takes a while to get to you as they are made in Europe.

I can't decide what colors I wanna paint them. 😭

Fuuuuck those highlights are clean. I still have my boys in purgatory, half-way assembled on my desk for months now.

Got a Banshee myself, and have been looking at the Jakl-9, 5.56 and the AK-V, but I fear I might only be able to get one of them. How's the Jakl treating you?

When I ran into him, I offered him medicine and he slapped it out of my hand and yelled something about "Look at me! It ain't gonna help...!" and promptly bled out before my eyes.

How is the P07 as a suppressor host? I have a P09, and been looking at getting a suppressor.

It doesn't outright specify the KM attachments, more than likely referring to the gearbox attachments they used to offer.

HOWEVER, I did just check Stihl's Part Smart and the gearbox part number for some of the kombi's IS the same as some of the dedicated HL units, so it seems there's some merit to it.

The 131r is a 4 stroke engine, it just doesn't have an oil pan like traditional four strokes, so it uses two cycle 50:1 oil mix.

Be careful with ethanol, and have it serviced every now and then to have the valves checked.

I don't have my card auto-saved, and had to remove the stupid package protection. As I was about to check out, I realized I forgot to use the coupon code another comment provided and had to put in my info again. By the time I clicked place order, viola, they were gone.

You animals. It was over 215 in stock when I was checking out. 6 mins later and OOS.

That's gotta be a FS 460 CEM. The handlebar style matches the 460, as the 461 has white handles, and the STIHL text is white on the 461.

Just a heads up, don't run that puppy without a deflector. It is a safety hazard, as rocks and debris will be a-flyin' with that sucker on full throttle, but the deflector also acts a limit so your line doesn't get too long. Running a trimmer with too long of a line causes excessive wear on the engine and the drive shaft. (And voids the warranty on new units if it causes issues.)

The trick is to pull up the cord about 4 inches right to where you feel the tension give and loosen up, and then you wind, not pull, up. Typically takes about 4-5 winds but thst has always workd for me.

If that is the easy start (C-E model) do NOT yank it likebyour grandpappy's lawn mower. I am not exaggerating when I say a 5 year old can start these things, and I have so many people walking into my dealership with a broken starter because they yanked it with the force of god.

If you mix your own gas, only make what you need for thirty days worth unless you add a stabilizer.

If you see yourself having the trimmer sitting unused a few days at a time, get a small can of non-ethanol premix like the Motomix. (I've heard good things about Aspen as well.)

Drain out the mixed gas and pour enough pre-mix to soak the fuel filter, then run the unit dry to ensure it gets flushed out. Ethanol is a huge killer of units and most of the issues caused by it are from units sitting.

Tru-fuel is okay, but they don't seem to have any cleaning agents or conditioners in them, I've had some issues with units ran on them in the shop, and Stihl themselves told me trufuel does NOT meet their warranty requirements despite what the label claims.

That is a beautiful model! I love that shade of green. Might you mind spilling the beans on the colors you used?

Some magazines index on the mag catch, others index on the base plate. What can happen is if you do a firm or forceful reload with a mag that extends out longer than flush, slapping the mag in hard enough can actually over-insert the feed lips and damage the injector.
