Might be worth a try looking for one with a 507 prefix but not sure.
It's hard to tell from the pictures, but that bar on your 41 doesn't look that bad. Is it bent or what exactly is wrong with it?
The saw looks to be in excellent shape. If the saw isn't beat up, I'd think the bar is at least salvageable.

Yep, a good file and a rattle can of paint will go a long way. You can even get stencils for the artwork/logos on the bars nowadays if appearance or restoration is the goal.

Thanks It was in that shape when I got it ! I got the saw from a fella in Alberta . He brought it with him from I think it was Colorado.
As far as the bar goes one side of the bar has a dip in it .So I don't know can you fix that ? meaning you look at the rail and it's nice a flat and then it goes down in a dip. Now that I can post pictures I will put one up soon.

Hey Thanks to Lou's signature and the rest of you I can now post pictures ! I did start an account on Imugur but it's so easy to just down load them off of My Pictures on the computer.

Bar update !
So I have found a replacement bar for the P41 Pioneer .It's not a Pioneer bar though but it is a NOS bar of some make not sure which yet as I have not picked it up. So thanks to a local saw shop the fella really knows his stuff and some of the staff sold Pioneers back in the day. Going to put a Stihl skip chain on it . I will still be looking for an original #507475848. and have some feelers out so see what happens . I plan on putting some pictures up of the P28 or is it P29 . Also have an old Husky to share pictures with but that's for a different thread LOL !
Would like to say that this site has some real great people on it that are willing to help others out, a real community !

I have tried to get in touch with Mike Acres ( chainsaw collectors web page founder ) about a bar but so far no reply . I think he is very hard to get in touch with as he runs his company Consolidated Equipment in the B.C. Lower Mainland .

I needed to post a "gif" in order for my signature to move. Some of the others may be easier to use, "jpeg" and some other formats are much more common.

Rocket I know he did have a whole whack of parts ! I think he bought up a lot of old NOS parts from dealers. Would be great to get in touch with him . Not sure what you mean by son ranch ,sorry ?

Brian,
My Home Hardware doesn't seem to have a clue.
Which brand is the hardener and if it's a Home Hardware product what do they call it? Maybe even a Home Hardware product number on the can?
Thanks
The update for your bar is in my Service Bulletion# SB 83-4 March 1983 for the new sprocket nose name designation, the 507 prefix would have come into effect after the Poulan takeover in 1988.

I had thought my 28 inch bar was older, but having the 507 on it confuses me now. What are your thoughts on this Jerry? Mike
The 507 prefix came after the Poulan takeover so I doubt any parts would have been marked with it before 1988. The Pioneer numbers carried on as is all through the Pioneer - Partner days as well.
Doesn't the 507 in this photo look like it was added after manufacture?
