Bar Life?

Don't get fooled by an 038 mag supposedly being a slow reving saw .Some may say that but they've obviously never seen one in good tune .

Besides that if the chain is sharp and it's getting plenty of oil that 1500 rpm difference won't make any difference on the chain .I might add with a little work an 038 Mag will out rev an 044 but that's another subject all together .

thats good to know u dont reckon1500 revs is going to make any dif to b&c life,would it be likely to make any dif to engine life during extended periods of ripping,was that u Al that posted somewhere on this forum what a good longlasting  saw the 038 mag was-is?,how do u rate the ms 440 alongside the 038mag?? as an allround using saw?

Well yes they are both good saws for that matter .I prefer the 038 mag given the choice but that's just a personal preference .
