    A friend of mine has a 72" iirc and spoke highly of it.

    I have several of them ( 16”,20” & 24”) they seem to be good bars. They are definitely solid & have some heft to them.

    They have been very good bars in the past. If I am remembering correctly they are made in Australia and are a premium brand.

    Someone here may know the name of the GB dealer that occasionally runs sales on these bars. At one time the 20” bars were crazy cheap.

    I appreciate the feedback. Didn't do much shopping around, pulled the trigger on one. Have bought from these folks before, looks like they are in Beaver Falls Pa. Used to live up there a few moons ago.

    Bought 2 back in the day. I think they were $13-15ea. Ended up on saws that got flipped so I can't comment on longevity.
