Guess ya did pretty good.NT wants $319
it is  2.8cubic inch,45.7 cc 2.8 hp.Not bad for a homeowner saw,but you're pushing the limit with an 18" bar.Tractor supplygot rid of their Huskys cheap this summer,and got Jreds and Poulan.It's all the same company.

Full cords or face cords?

It should work well enough for your use.  Just make sure you get a couple extra loops of chains and learn how to get and keep them very sharp.  If I was cutting 12-14 full cords a year I'd personally wanting a 60cc saw.

the metal plate says 50cc

I ran it's predecessor the 345 with 18" bar and narrow kerf chain. It was a nice combo for a home owner saw, cut a lot of fire wood..

I'm guessing you bought a refurb/return saw. It is pretty common for the starter covers to be replaced with one with an incorrect sticker. I have heard of this several times. If the SN plate says 50cc, then you have a 450...be happy!!!
