Figuring out a bar measurement from a vague description?

[Adam08ski]

I am sat here at work looking on ebay (as you do)

This bar popped up. It's an Oregon replaceable sprocket nose bar for £8 posted so far

Just a bit of surface crap by the looks of it, maybe a rivit or two to replace..

What size is it (it isn't 29" as stated) and I have nothing in front of me to reference to, I am guessing 25-26"???

Length doesn't mean much, you have to go buy drive link count, which isn't provided in the description. It's likely a 84 DL bar which is what most call a 24" bar.

BARGAIN TIME FOR THIS OREGON BAR.

MARKINGS ON IT AS FOLLOWS

7857FA 268....0009 MADE IN CANADA

29 INCH OVERALL


It is stated 29 inches overall in the text of the listing. Probably 24 or 25 for the useable length. The 268 in the code means 26 inches 0.058 gauge. At least from the chart I have printed out. I would guess it is a D009 tail not 0009. Should have three letters where there are four dots. I see five rivets at the sprocket bearing center that look right and one big one holding the nose on, are there supposed to be more?

Cheers guys just can't from memory figure out how much of the overall length is buried behind the dogs to the rim sprocket. Yep I figure it is an Oregon Power Match bar for a Husky large mount. Looking at a spare bar for my 181se...
