Here is their ps3 chain, I haven't tried it yet.

I meant 3 as in RS3, RM3,PS3,etc. The green chains.The "3" just stands for 1.3,
or .050 gauge.
You want the bar with the correct groove width so that the chain is not too tight or too loose! (Wobbly)can I use 325 on this stock bar.... I dont want to buy another bar..
can I squeeze .050 into a .043 groove???

Maybe this video will help!I got a 170 with that tiny pico chain. Can I put 3/8 or anything else on it.??? Its that safety chain and it sucks.
I like the 61pmm3 chain that I assume the guy in post 1 does not like. Perhaps he is using brand x not Stihl. It is reduced kickback green chain used on green 7 tooth nosed bars. It has bumper drive links (at least in this market USA) and seems called safety chain by most folks.I am happy with 3/8 pico micro semi chisel non safety chain in 043 on my 180s at 16", they work well, easy to sharpen too.
