You cannot buy the 3/8 Picco spur in the U.S. Mine came from Australia, thanks to a very gracious site member.
I THINK Picco and LP are synonymous, and I think Picco Micro is .043 gauge.
Ain't it cute

I like the 1/4" micro chain.....well once I got used to how it looks....it's small for sure. 
It cuts really smooth......which matters to an arborist on anything aside from a removal.

I very well may end up back with the 1/4" setup. It's just that after the mods I've done to it (not even ported yet) it needs more chain. Lower rakers might be the answer, but I like the idea of more chain options with 3/8 LP.
I run some 1/4 .050 and really like it. The 150 comes with 1/4 .043. Any reason the 1/4 spur on the saw wouldn't accept the wider gauge? Obviously, need to swap out the bar to .050. My shoulders say "Light Saws Rule"
The spur doesn't care about the gauge of the chain.
Does it drive the OP like a 200?
I may be wrong on the .043? I see they call it 1/4 picco and it is listed as .050 Have to do some recon. DW

The .043 is called micro picco.
Yes.
I thought you were yanking my thermal underwear till I looked it up. Someone in the Stihl Marketing Research Department must have thought that it'd be catchy to give a chain a middle name

I had a 020AV here and it was wearing 1/4" chain. It cut really nice on that saw. Also ran a little Poulan 25 with some and again, very smooth. I think it's a great chain for limbing and such. It does looks real strange though the first time you look at it.
Got any plans to port yours Randy? I've been thinking about doing mine ever since I learned it wasn't a clamshell.
Does the sun rise in the east???????
Silly me! That's kind of like asking if monkeys climb in trees!

I like the micro and the way it's set up its just a smooth cutting I just don't like touching up the chain you can 2 20" chain to one of those micro it seems like
The only thing I would do to mind would be a mm this little saw gets used a lot

This 1/4" micro is much smaller than regular 1/4" Jimmy........I was like WTH?
I'm sure I will Brad, but I'm swamped with work.
We've done 4 MS460 in the last couple of days, and are starting on 4 MS261s in the morning. Right now we are scheduling March.
