Looking for a bar...

[atpchas]

No, I'm not thirsty.

A buddy gave me a very used 20" 3/8 Picco 3003 mount bar to play with. I've wanted to try this on one of my MS261s. So far, I'm liking the results.

If I continue to be pleased with the performance, I'd like to get a new bar - 3003 mount, 20", 3/8LP (Picco), .050 - because this one is quite worn. Problem is finding that configuration. I've spent a fair amount of time searching and the closest I've found is a UK site that is out of stock.

If you know of a source, I'd appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. Thanks!

Heck I did not know a 20" 12mm in 3/8 picco existed

3003 mount 3/8 LP/picco are hard to find. Also loops of chain with correct tooth count for 3003 mount saws. They all seem to be for 3005 mount/small saws

I use them for milling on an 066.

I know that GB has made them but I don't know a current source. There was a place called Left Coast Supplies that went of business that had them.

So far this is what I've found:
https://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/product/st2m-0l50-a-sugihara-pro-lam-2050cm-3-8-063-72-drive-links/No idea when the bars will be back in stock. Meanwhile I'll continue to experiment with old worn Stihl bar I have. I may try some .058 chain since the bar is worn to low .060s pretty much all the way around.
