    If y'all need saw chains, this place has the best prices that I've found, and they have a sale going on now. Just got a 105DL. Oregon 72EXL .050 gauge chain for $22.77. Might want to stock up for the coming season. Screenshot_20230624-025939.png

    Those prices are cheaper than buying bulk chain and making your own

    And they're great folks to deal with. I've ordered from them before. When we went on vacation recently, our route from Niagara Falls to Lancaster PA, took us very close to their business. We stopped by, talked with them a bit, bought 6 other chains and a Husky hard hat.

    That is a great deal. Bought some 16" .325 & 20" .375 Stihl chains recently. Sizes i run mostly. Dont run the longer bars that often.

    You’re killing me T.Jeff. I have a huge hoard of chains but these prices may never be seen again.

    Looking at that part number I would guess .058. I just spent a few minutes searching for an .058 Forester Pro bar and couldn’t find one. Can you snap a pic of the actual bar markings?

    The 24 I’d bet money it’s .058 too.

    Thought so.. only downside is all my other chains are 050. And I have 25” in Stihl also to keep them separated :headbang:

    But the 576 XP I got from the infamous Eric VW is a good saw.. it got involved in a legal headache..
    Was unavailable for 6 months. Long story..

    is it a PITA to switch to .050?

    or just buy chain keep 1 in garage 1 in barn?

    Very easy to switch. Just need the .050 bar and chain. That’s all. The saw sprocket doesn’t care what the width of the drive link is.
