Went to my local ACE to talk to the Stihl expert there...guy has been with Stihl since the early '90's so he does indeed know his stuff. Anyway I asked if I can use a 25" bar on my MS 271 and he says he wouldn't recommend it and tells me I'll need to upgrade to an MS ?? (forgot which model). Is this just the salesman trying to make a sale or is there some good reason why this cannot be achieved? Safety is my 1st concern, but seriously...what could the reason be? By the way, the saw is LONG out of warranty so that's not a factor...
