Echo cs-302 Guide Bar Questions

[OldTimer40]

My CS-302 has a 14" bar w/ 3/8" LP, .050 Gauge 52 Drive Link (Oregon 91 chain). Do any of the following bar work with this setup? If so, what would be the best choice? I use it for general farm use, felling small trees, firewood, and trimming up wooded fence line.

Windsor 14PKU50SSR Chainsaw Bar 14" 3/8 Pitch .050 Ga. 52 DL
Total II Bar 14" Part # 003ML3-2
Total II Bar 14" Part # T122ML3-2

Carlton Guide Bar Part #: 14-10-N152-PT
GB Part# UHL-14-50SW

Can't say, have no personal experience with all models... If I had to choose, I'd go for Oregon.

Question for you...any idea on swapping out the sprocket. My 302 had a 1/4" sprocket and i purchased a 3/8" but when i try to crank on the nut holding it, it pulls the pull starter really hard...not sure if this is normal
