Anti-Vibration?

Ray
 
Yes, Anti-Vibration.
 
I have the same saw and always wondered that. Thanks for posting.

Does anyone know what new model this would equate to?
 
My FIL thinks the 031 av and the 310 are the same saw..

All modern stihl saws have anti-vibe and chain brakes and electronic ignitions...

Alot of the new stihls have relations from back to the older ones 021,025,026 028 ,029, 031, , 039, 044 ,046 ,064 , Have now become MS models I am sure there are some hidden up dates and features we dont see but for the most part it was a change in the oil and gas tanks , filler caps
 
I am thinking other then the 031 and 310 share the same size bore they are completely different saws..

The cylinder on a 031 is a completely different design...
 
thanks guys, love my 031av but no break on this saw,may have to upgrade
