I think West Coast Long Bar Disease is spreading....

Is a 25" bar too much for an MS 310? For regular use under normal circumstances, I wouldn't even think about it. BUT... In softwood (Fir to be exact) with a muffler mod, skip chain, and the rakers at .025, I think it would pull it just fine. My main concern is the oiler. Can the stock oiler on a 310 keep up with a 25" bar? Any opinions?

I got a buddy who runs a 24" full comp on his ms310. The thing cuts surprisingly well. With your intended use, I would say go for it..

HA! I can hear him screaming all the way from Norway!

I typically run 20" RSK. Since it's been broken in and modded, I haven't noticed the slightest whine from it.

25" skip should be fine.
