    I have a Stihl MS250. I was wondering if this 20” Titanium CN40 would fit my saw? I won it in the Rafael and haven’t tried to fit it yet. Thanks guys

    Don't believe so. That bar appears to be for the 026-660. Your 250 uses the open-ended bar found on 170-250 size saws

    It's more so the overall height of the bar. The oil holes won't line up. And the slot is 14mm rather than 8.5?ish.

    Too bad. The bar is a high quality piece.

    Buy a new saw that fits it. Problem solved:dex:

    If it's a stihl medium mount, which I'm not certain without researching the numbers near the slot, it fits from 261 through 661

    I looked at the raffle thread. It is in fact a stihl medium mount bar. But it has a .404 nose and chain on it. So it'll need a little bigger saw to pull it. Say, 70cc or more. Or you could put a 3/8 tip on it and run it on smaller saws too with a 3/8 chain
