Philbert - I'll try to get a photo of the cabinet filled with chain parts, not quite so many as the rest of the hardware but a pretty large assortment none the less. McCulloch had many different designs of chain over the years and keeping the parts alone straight is a real challenge, then add in the other manufacturers.
.250 / 1/4" were pretty consistent except for the newer Stihl .043 Pico
.325 were rather limited from McCulloch but there were versions with and without the additional bumpers
.354 at least 4 different type with McCulloch and Carlton offering it in .050 and .058 gauge and drive links/presets do not interchange
3/8 LP McCulloch, Oregon, Stihl (Pico), bumpers, shark fin...those alone can drive you mad
3/8 McCulloch had at least 8 variations themselves, add Carlton, Windsor, Saber, Oregon, Husqvarna, Stihl...
.404 The Early SM and SP McCulloch were different from the later 403 and 408 variations, most of the Oregon parts are different again then there are Carlton, Windsor, and Saber versions...
7/16 SM, SL, variations plus Oregon 61 and 62 variations plus Carlton C2 and C3...I don't think I have any Laser or Pioneer to add to the confusion
1/2 McCulloch had at least 4 variations in the very early stuff, then P8 and AR8 in the intermediate range, and finally their 503 and 508 and nothing interchanges. Add to that the Oregon 20AC3, 9AC, 31C3, 10AC, and 32C3 plus Carlton D2 and D3...
9/16 I have some McCulloch SL, SM, SP8, P8N, S8, and S80 plus Oregon and miscellaneous
5/8 To make it easy on myself I don't have anything in 5/8 other than a few sprockets and the odd chain or two, no repair parts.
