    Not sure how it happened, but got my 16" bar smashed at the tip cutting on some blowdown today.
    It's an old bar, so no real loss. What is a good replacement bar these days? Running 3/8 .050 yellow chain.
    Thanks in advance. JB

    I will take the red or green Forester bars over th Oregon bars. My green lable had 5 years of feeding an outdoor boiler plus cutting for friends. I dressed itlast fall for the first time.

    Would you like to go to an 18” or 20” bar?

    I have an 18" bar for it now, I just need to replace the smashed 16" bar. I like the balance of the 16", so I run that most of the time.
