3/8 .50 64dl bar for a 3003 still mount?

[ccronin]

So a guy owed me some money and gave me 10 almost new 72lpx chains in 3/8 .050 64dl. I have several mid sized Stihls and can't find a bar to fit them. Does anyone know of one? I really don't want to add 2 links if I can help it.

Thanks

Autocorrect hates Stihl!

I've never seen a Stihl bar around here with that dl count.

16" bars in stihl mounts typically use 60dl and 18" use 66. I guess you could cut some of the chains down to 60 and use the extra links to make some 66dl chains. Need lots of joining links though...

Yeah; never seen a 3003 mount bar with 64 links. Oregon makes a 15" bar with 63, but that doesn't help a whole lot, as you'd still have to break em. Might as well just buy a Stihl bar at that point.

sounds like for a k095 dolmar 18" bar.

I had a large mount stihl 3002 in that dl count. 3/8 050 64 thinking was a older sugi. Would have to look for pic.

The back saw with grey and red lettering was 64dl 3/8 050

Yes it was sold as 16" bars for these too.

Alot of those bars out there

Thanks everyone. I made 8 66dl chains and sharpened them. My 361 with an 18 inch bar and sharp Stihl rs cuts like a dream!
