    A friend on one of the FB wood groups I'm in, lives in west TX. He contacted me about a possible deal he was getting. Seems like his local JD dealer was getting out of the OPE business. They had several boxes of Oregon saw chain, he bought several for $75 each.
    It's the old style 3/8, .050 full chisel. 0808231240.jpg
    He wanted $75 + 30 for shipping...
    We got 1 roll. 0808231242.jpg

    Seems like a great deal. Does that size chain represent most of your saws?

    That's a nice score there. My favorite 3/8 chain and I think now dis-conned?

    Currently 3 bars, 20", 25" and 32". When I use up the 8 .325 chains we have for the XS4910, might swap it over to 3/8.
