Geeezzz ! I think I goofed !
Here I am looking for this Pioneer brand bar that's on the P41 the one I have been going on about and I don't think it's even a Pioneer because if it was wouldn't the part number start with a 4 not a 5 ? Man o Man ! Also I think the gauge on a Pioneer bar that size would not have been .050 . Opinions Please .
Thanks

I understand it as the original Pioneer part numbers were six numbers beginning with the number 4 as shown on most Pioneer P series IPL's. The way I understand it, once Poulan Pro and/or Partner took over Pioneer, the 507 numbers were added to part numbers. Sort of like a prefix to the original part number.
Someone here probably can explain the details of how this came to be better than I can. In my experience though, the parts are the same if they start with the 507 or without it.
My experience is only with the later and larger P series. It may be different for the older and different series of saws.
I think your bar is a Pioneer bar based on the part number. And I know some of the later ones were .50 gauge because I have a couple of them
Good luck on the bar search.
