Hi... I am trying to find a replacement bar and chain for my father inlaw's Stihl MS250. His stock 16" Stihl roll-o-matic bar split open on him and now he needs a replacement. The local dealer said a Stihl bar would cost $75 Cad (taxes in) and that to me is highway robbery, plus they never had any in stock and would have to order it in.... he is running I believe a .325" pitch/.050"guage Stihl chain. It was the stock chain, a .325" Rapid Micro 2 or so I am assuming, no idea on the gauge of this chain
I searched on Bailey's and the only thing I can find is this Oregon, .325" pitch, .063" guage bar/chain combo. But it doesn't list the MS250 in it's list of compatible saws (almost every other Stihl saw is though)
Bailey's - 16" Oregon Pro-Lite Bar & Chain Combo
This bar does list the MS250 as a compatible saw (.325" pitch and .063" gauge)
Bailey's - Oregon 16" Pro-Lite Chainsaw Bar for Stihl 025/250 62 Drive Links
I then went on Oregon's website and they list the following bar/chain options for the MS250, funny that they only list the saw capable of .325" pitch and .050" gauge.
Chain's
Bailey's - Oregon 16" Chainsaw Chain Loop
Bailey's - Oregon 20BPX Chainsaw Chain
Bar (although Oregon lists the 160SLBA074 as a compatible bar, Bailey's doesnt' list the MS250 as a compatible saw)
Bailey's - Oregon 16" Pro-Lite Chainsaw Bar for Stihl 62 Drive Links
Man finding a replacement bar/chain information on this Stihl is like trying to hack into the CIA .... Google gives me nothing and the Stihl Manual is vague. I found lots of different options for my Husky 445 on Bailey's... glad I went the Husky route
But I am a noobie and maybe I just don't know enough about it to look in the right places.
Maybe I should be looking at other dealers online other than Bailey's??
