I just bought used said saw above, and it is stamped with oregon 3/8 7 on drive sprocket. Is this a stock sprocket?
Im waiting on bar to get to me to confirm weather its 050 or 063.
With a micrometer the chains dls measure 050, but the inner width measurements on sprockets pockets measure around 065?
Which do you go with?
Im asking b/c i want to order a longer bar/ chain.

That is the standard sprocket size and it will work with any any gauge chain.

Correct, Oregon is a good replacement rim sprocket, any 3/8 or .375" chain!!!

Even a lo pro bar/ chain combo?
My only other stihl has a regular gear shaped sprocket( older 041 super)
Not till i bought this saw did i find out its not a gear shaped sprocket, inotherwords it has 7 pockets cut into a round hub that slips over a splined shaft.
Im leaning towards a lo pro combo for my mk3 mill to not tax saw as bad...

No, it would not have come with an Oregon rim. That's a disposable wear item. Chain gauge does not matter with the drive sprocket, but pitch does. Lopro is a slightly different pitch

The bar will indicate guage. Noticed that is regional. Around Midwest, mostly .050. Canada and PNW, seems all .063
