Chain saw question

[BlackdogGS]

I’m not sure if I bought the right chain for this saw. The new chain says to make sure my sprocket is a .325 and it says .325 on the bar. Am I good to go?

That part is fine but the gauge is wrong. You bar has a .063" groove and the chain you bought is .050". It would be a sloppy and unsafe fit. It would do a good job of cutting curves though...

It looks like your bar is a 3005.000.4717 which I believe is a 68 drive link bar and the chain you bought is for 72. Looks like you need a L68 chain. It's low kickback which is a good option for you.

No, your bar is .063" and the chain is .050".

Ok! Thanks guys, I’ll take it back.

I like the observation on the curves LOL
Match up all 3 numbers OP - # of links, pitch, and gauge.

Cant go wrong with a True Stihl Chain for your Stihl Saw...

I usually order my bars and chains online from Bailey’s.
