Stihl Chain Advice required

[Little Al]

Hi guys brain picking time, advice required for the most aggressive non square ground Stihl chain. What I`m looking into is to obtain a 70dl 3/8x050/1.3 NOT lo pro chain. I`ve visited the local dealers but they only offer green, not yellow in 063 gauge.they tell me that Stihl don`t make a yellow 3/8 x050 chain but I think thats Bu****it & they can`t be bothered to look up/or order. so my question is what Stihl letters /numbers do I require, & any pointers into obtaining one. Thanks Al.

Stihl certainly makes it, 33RS70 as NMURPH points out. But it is possible that this store's particular distributor doesn't carry that chain. I bet they do though.

Bought 2 33rs70 chains this mornin.dealer had to make them but they do have them.

I have a loop of that, fits a craftsman 3.7c.i. 18" bar. That is not a common length for stihl bars so you need to find a dealer that can make that length off a roll.

You won't go wrong with 33RM, it is semi-chisel round ground.

op is in france so this may be the problem.

Ooooooooo yeah that could be a problem.

Thanks for your info guys, I will just have to travel a bit further from home to a bigger Stihl kit carrying dealer, the 3 local ones I guess are too tired to get off the stool behind the counter & go look, the one good guy got injured really badly in a motorcycle accident & his shop is closed at the moment. I can always look on the net but the post cost from the US is a sale killer.

I live also in Europe and my dealer also always has to make a loop. He doesn't have them premade.
