I didn't check that out yet.
What the heck ya doing with a west coast saw in Ohio????? I had one in Indiana a few years but it was an import like me.I received my Light ES bar today. Mine is a 28" .050 guage. It's 1.0 oz lighter than my Oregon Reduced Weight.
I converted it from a standard 440. This is my main falling/work saw. If I need to do some stumping, I use the 1/2 wrap 066.

Guidance on dealers who insist it is still not in production?
I love Stihl products, I hate my local contact who is a pain to get them from.
These are in production and available in all regions theoretically, correct?
Thanks

I had my dealer owner call and double check what the parts man said the distributor told him. They both insist that Bryan Power Equipment does not have them. However, the one that I got yesterday has a shipping label right from Bryan. Makes no sense to me at all.
I used my 460 again today with the 28" light bar, and now i've probably got 10-12 hrs. on it, and honestly I can tell very little difference between the light and the regular bar. I was using a 24" regular before i got the light. I ordered another one today, bought a 32". I will be in on Thursday. They have made a believer out of me, thats for sure.

Local dealer said they are only being sold in the PNW to the public for testing. I asked why they were being sold elsewhere and he told me to call the dealers and ask to order one.
I asked how we could do that as it was strictly against Stihl policy and he was a jerk.
Is there any truth to the limited sale or are these people just goons?
Thanks.

I want some of these bars now! Dang it! 
Did you happen to weigh it against a reg 28" es bar?
I don't even have one. After using a lightweight bar, I'm not going back to a heavy ES bar.

After a trip to a different shop, I had a call back and order placed before I got my truck out of the parking lot.
Told the new place to find a way and he sure did. Guess it is going to have to be worth the drive.
Thanks for the info gents.

Would anyone want one of these new Light bars in 28", 3/8, .063 guage? I just realized the one I got is .063, not the .050 I requested. $125 shipped. This is the bar here. It has not been run. Tradin' Post Add

Not lazy some of us just plain can't get them.
The only one of these part numbers in the system at our Stihl distributor, is the 3003 000 2238 the 28" .050 bar, and they don't have any in inventory yet.
I'd like one of the 28" .050 bars for my 064. But I'll wait.
