I have 2 older gb bars that are 404 .050 gauge. I can only find 404 .063 for the 404 pitch. Anyone make it anymore?

What bars??
What bars??
Is .404 chain in .50 gauge something that actually existed? Are you sure it's not .058 gauge?
I just spent a few months looking for 404 chain in 058 guage. It's no longer made, i finally found some new old inventory chains on Ebay.
I emailed Oregon, they only make 404 chain in 063 and 080 gauge now.

Yes many companies made .404 .50 chain. You need to look at info from 1960's and 1970's
Don’t know who made my 404....050
Even Stihl sold .404 in .050 ga, both chipper and chisel.

GB bars. Both says 404 .050 on them. See pics
Really.....didn’t know who. But Jerry will know.....
I got to dig thru a lot of chain but I know I have some.
Well Unc I bought full boxes and reels of it for my big saws, I was still running .404 chain until around 2010, then started to run a few smaller frame saws that ran 3/8" better.

Got any left? Its either that or i swap the saw to a 3/8. the bars are non rollers so I can use the 3/8 chain on it

My 404”/050” was Oregon chain in its day that’s all I ran in my 2100.
I’m changine my bigger power heads to .404” / .063 ga now. Rims and can’t find sprocket nose bars but the non roller nose will do for now.

Like so many things... many options from years ago are now obsolete.

true, but old stuff is still cool. Just was hoping to not change it to 3/8

I think I have 105 drives of .050 - .404 chain skip tooth. If interested let me know and I will check to see if I have it
I believe I have about 100 loops of .404 .063 Stihl RS for Stihl 36" bars hanging in the shop. 114 drive links I think. Most have never been sharpened. These chains are from the 1990's.
And you are a Feynman Fan!!!!!
There may still be some short lengths that did not get made into loops but it would be buried under 4-5 feet of obsolete other chainsaw parts.

Lmfao dont worry about it
Completely agree! That's why I didn't give up finding some chain for a 58 year old saw that I'm working on.
I moreso meant that it sucks that it's getting hard to find stuff because at some point it was decided to discontinue it.
