eBay? Huztl? HLS? Not sure what size your looking for or reels or loops. HLS has raisman chain.

I have chainsaws and chainsaw accessories.
Ebay, amazon, lowes, baileys, hl supply, ect.
what pitch are you looking for? I spent months tracking down some 404 pitch in 058 gauge, but it seemed like 3/8 pitch in 058 gauge was easy to find.

The .325” and 3/8” seems more available in .058”. Im changing a few bigger cc saws to .404”-.063”. Theres some 3/8”- .050” gauge still kicking around. Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t the Stihl chainsaws running .325 & 3/8” in .063” chain? I think my newer husky saws came with 3/8”-.058” chains.
It’s always available online. Find some on sale and buy enough to last several years.

.058 is all I use. Easy to get here locally, but I usually order it from loggerchain.com

My local saw shop stocks several loops of it. I run 3/8''x .058" chain on my Husky 555. It works fine and .058" seems to be a regional thing.

It's regional, but around here, the ONLY saws you see coming from the store with .058 are Husqvarna (actually, I have no idea what's on the poulans, etc from the box stores). Stihl would prefer you to buy your 3/8 in .050, and .325 in .063. They'll happily sell you a 36" bar in 3/8 .050, which seems like a bad idea on any of their saws, which aren't known to oil that great to begin with.
Edited to add: you can get Stihl 3/8 and .325 in any of the three gauges, but they might have to order it, or rather, be convinced that they can order it.

I find stihl shops tend to have a problem with it.
“Looking for 058, 3/8....”
”oh that’s husky chain sir we only carry stihl”

They do offer chain in 058. If you make it and sell it offer it to people who ask for it
yes they do and it says on the box not for Stihl saws
or not a Stihl size, I will have to check

I have Oregon #21 chain, .058 - 1/2". It was manufactured several years ago. It was made for some of the smaller saws . I was aboput the same as the #58 chain also made at that time. I have about 600 drives of that chain left. This is probably listed in Oregons books in the 70 or 80 years. [email protected]

In the past I purchased what ever brand of saw chain was on sale at baileys. Mostly 3/8-.050” LP. Not too many sales or clearances and deals offered today.
Time to look for .058” chain. I think huztl/farmtec offers loops and bar combos for husky saws in .058”.
I have some 3/8” .058” chain loops in house. I need to buy some 3/8”-.058” reels next. I have one 25’ 3/8” 72LP .050” left from three decades ago. I have about 250’ of 404-063” chain.

LP stands for low profile. 3/8lp is the size below .325.
