3/8 lp vs. 3/8

[old guy]

If you have an oregon drum on the 261, if you the stihl drum, oregon won't fit it.

That makes sense

Soooo, 3/8' LoPro isn't really 3/8". You didn't explain why 3/8 LP chain isn't 3/8th chain. I knew my old Homelite had two different spurs, but couldn't figure why. The bar will run either however. What's up with that?

Not to criticize anyone, but just saying you can't do it doesn't help the newbies. I see a lot of people jumping in on some subjects, dragging the thread off tangent and the basic question never gets answered. I have worked around *** for many years, but some subjects are just beyond my reach. Please try to remember that a lot of people here don't have 1000 muffler mods under their belts. Thanks.

Thank you, deezlfan, I am relatively new to saws and I like good explanations of why or why not.
