[Satchmo1960]

16 inch STIHL Bar, .325 .063 full chisel chain.

18” .325 .063 RM chain

I have the 261 performance kit i bought from the UK for it but have never mounted it. It comes with 16” 3/8lp/picco bar, rim, and 3 PS chains. After I bought the kit I got a new MS 241 That has that set up on it so I never mounted it on my 261.

18” Tsumura light. 3/8 pitch. Usually Stihl RM chain. My say is Tree Monkey ported also. Perfect firewood saw!

Stock 18" bar and chain for me...which is .325 .063

I'm thinking about getting an 18" set up with 3/8 .050 so I can use the same chain as my other saws though...
