    That would be PS3, close cousin to what I'm offering here. Other than the low-kickback tails on the drive links, they are identical.

    Ah, thank you. So what would expect the performance differences to be? Just better boring with the yellow-label?

    I would say yes. I tested PS3 awhile back and if the nose is exposed, it's pretty darn fast.

    This is very good chain. Alas, after having tried PS chain out, I had already ordered my own real before MM Posted.

    No, I am not going to sell loops, after all, I AM A HOARDER!!!

    No, it seemed like an oddball they had lying around. Got it for $35 shipped.

    Wow.. Great price.. From you, that's par for the course! ;)

    Congrats my friend!

    I want to have a bar and a loop or 2 of this chain. Just for GTG'S and messing around. I will run 3/8" on the 261. It's just easier that way.

    Thanks. I rarely buy new chain because I have so many leftovers that came with used saws. It's kind of a chaotic mess, all different gauges and pitches. I can certainly see the appeal in keeping things consistent.

    I never did update this... Thanks Brian, those chains are great! I'm blown away how much better they cut than the Oregon vanguard stuff it replaced. Night and day.

    What is the part # for the bar (16")?

    It's not a necessity. More of a luxury to have a Picco set-up.

    Thanks for your help fella's!
