    Not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but does anyone have a go-to place for new chains?

    I use Oregon G66's with my Huskys

    Time to get a few new ones, I believe. I've gotten them in the past from amazon, HD, and local power equip shop.

    eBay usually $5-$7 per chain cheaper than the dealer

    We have a John Deere dealership close by and when we buy any Stihl chain we get a second one for half price. Good enough for me.

    My local Stihl dealer has specials on chain quite often for a buck an inch.
