[QUOTE="cookies, post: 7689053, member: 175741"] Replace the bar the tip sprocket is worn down to the point the chain drivers are bottoming out and breaking the points off. The chain appears to be off the bar at the tip but if you look closely its hitting the bar where it enters the sprocket and where it exits it. Likely the original chain tie straps are worn to the groove of the bar, im betting the bar rail has a sharp edge in the tip the pictures do not show. This is why I stopped getting laminate bars, the tips and sprockets are now so soft they do not even last a whole chain..stihl/oregon have both done this garbage to sell more bars. [/QUOTE]
