What are peoples thoughts on this 200t?

It's a clone saw, been chatting with the maker on Facebook. Couple of bits are stihl parts rest is copy but decent quality. Was gonna do one myself but the bits come to almost £300 so haven't yet

You have to be careful on aftermarket parts, some are worth having and some are dire. The inlet manifolds and AV Mounts (annular buffers) are in the dire category!

I think quality can vary, guess the trick is to swap out and dodgy parts with genuine. The website selling the parts kit are doing a sale this week so I ordered a ms361 kit to build. Was £155 Inc delivery and a bar and chain. I've no idea what I'm doing and don't expect it to be much more than a curiosity saw/ winter project but think it'll teach me alot about how they work

Yeah had an immaculate one that was stolen  

It's huztl.net you're looking for. The kits are 30% off this week, have a look on YouTube, plenty of vids of the saws in action

I've looked on hutzl.net and can't see any MS200T kits, one of those would be interesting to do.

no, they don't. I've asked a few times and they keep telling me they working on one. They do most the bits but not everything, don't do the flywheel and linkages for starters. I put all the bits they do make into my basket and came out a bit more than i'm happy to spend on a project. When a kit comes out i'll be the first to get one!

Thanks for the link to the website. Interesting and very tempting! I'm looking to start chainsaw milling so I'm considering the 660 kit, £160 posted.
Like mechano for big kids! Do you know if the kits come with instructions?
Cheers.

No instructions... it won’t be hard though !
