Hey all,

Just raided a yard sale and picked up 6 saws for $25/each. A perfectly running CS-4400, 346 XP, questionable but running MS170, questionable 44 rancher, a redmax HT and a great running little Stihl 012AV.

This seems like a pretty tough little saw to keep and use around the yard. It started 2nd pull! I'm looking for a reasonable bar and chain setup for it, as it came with a bent echo bar that was unusable.

There seems to be very little info online on tech or owners manuals.... but I'm wondering what bar/pitch/gauge I should run for really light around the house usage. I see a lot of 043 and 050, and would like to get some more experienced thoughts on what to get and where.

Thanks in advance!
