I believe they are POS from China by now, but that wasn't always so?
to be honest alot of bars are made there i can tell you what China cannot make and that is my spirit inside me

Hey Fellas,
I bought a 20" Fores-ter Replacement Bar & Chain; #205072-X, for use on my ol' Stihl 041 Farm Boss.
If I'm interpreting the label correctly, it has a chain pitch of 3/8", a chain gauge of 0.050", and a drive length of 72.
It also says, "Replaces OEM Stihl #3003-000-8921, Mfr. Part # for Reference ONLY".
The label DOESN'T tell me:
1) What is the cutter type: Semi-Chisel or Full Chisel?
2) What chain sequence does it have: a Skiptooth, Full Skip or Standard?
3) What type/size of file does it require for sharpening?
My primary intentions are for cutting clean oak, maple & cherry; but at times, some dirty polar & oak too.
Thanks in advance for any and all responses, Guys!

a bar will not tell you what type of chain you have, merely the required info to fit power head and chain. Not sure where to start here.. do you have a chain?

Thank you very much, Keen! :yourock:Your combo would of came with round cornered "semi-chisel" 3/8s pitch, standard sequence chain, sharpen with 7/32 file. The chain is also made in china, and seems pretty soft. For cutting clean wood get some full chisel, you will notice a big difference.
My 28-inch Forester bar says "pro series" on it. I ain't no chainsaw ninja or nothing, but I can read. Other than that, I got no answer for you.
Where is a good place to buy these bars for $30.00?
I personally run the 5 rivet forester bars and think they are a great bar for the money.
