Big dawg and 3/4 wrap kits are available for the 361. It big dawg kit has a larger sprocket cover as well. You can also add a small dawg to the right side of the bar with no modification.
As for saw dealers getting flap for selling saws overseas, they (the Aussies and Kiwis) usually use middlemen like me. I bought the saw from a dealer, and shipped it to Ekka. No Stihl dealers involved in this off-shore 'sale.' Some dealers here will send stuff overseas, and I see some dealer sales on Ebay, but it is usually out the back door and not kosher for any Stihl, Dolmar or Husky saw dealers. If a regional distributor finds out about these types of sales, they usually stop supplying saws to the dealer, or raise the prices on them.
Same goes with online sales here within the US. Shop sales only.
