Oregon 20-Inch Replacement Chainsaw Bar and L81 AdvanceCut Chainsaw Chain Combo, 81 Drive Links, Pitch: .325", .063" Gauge, Low Vibration (105671), fits several Stihl models, Grey

This fits perfectly on my MS261CM. It would work perfectly on my 290 AND my 271 if I still had them. A little background. The day I bought my 290 and my 271, my 290 came with a 3/8 bar and chain but the 271 came with a .325! I asked our local Stihl dealer if they could convert the new 271 to 3/8 so both my saws will be set up the same for obvious reasons. They said yes and it was for FREE, included in the price of the 271. Both saws worked wonderfully for years until 1 day my shoulder (both) started hurting when I started the chainsaws cold. Arthritis sucks and so does being 75 a little. Anyhow my cure was to buy a "PRO" model chainsaw! If you have shoulder problems like i do you may want to do what I did? I went to the local Stihl dealership again and bought a MS261CM. If you have a 290 or a 310 or a 271 and you pick up a 261cm and use it for, i want to say just 10 minutes, you wont go back to your other Stihls. SO I sold my 290 and 271 Stihls to a couple guys without shoulder problems. BOTH of them very very happy! Those 4 models of Stihl chainsaws that i talked about can be converted back and forth in about 2 minutes from 3/8 to .325. The Bar, The Chain and the engine sprocket are the only difference between the 2. My 261cm came with a .325, .063, 81 drive links, 20" bar and chain and engine sprocket. I wondered how that would work so I kept the saw with the .325. It makes a narrower cut and removes a little less wood and so far the .325 chains do not dull any faster then the 3/8. From time to time while cutting 20" or bigger rounds in wet cottonwood or alder I noticed my front tip sprocket making steam using the original .325-20" Stihl bar. I thought maybe my chain oiling system had a problem but NO, not the problem. The front sprocket was just working too hard and it was getting hot. I spit and it sizzled. I then wondered if my Stihl front sprocket had run out of grease? THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL! I bought this wonderful Oregon 20" .325 replacement bar and chain combo and it fits and works perfectly on my MS261CM. It would work perfectly on the other 3 Stihl chainsaws that I talked about. This OREGON bar has the little grease holes on the front sprocket and I keep the little pusher type grease gun with me when I'm cutting and i use it every 15-20 minutes or so. I got the little pusher grease gun right here on Amazon. I have read a lot of reviews about this bar&chain combo. I saw some people said It doesn't work on their chainsaw. I think I saw a 290 owner and a 271 owner mention that. If your chainsaw has the 3/8 bar and chain it will ALSO have a 3/8 engine sprocket. You must have a .325 engine sprocket for this bar to work. When you buy this wonderful Oregon bar, you need to set it right next to your current bar and compare, see if all the numbers match! 20"? .325? .063? 81 Drive links? YA GOTTA HAVE ALL 4 OF THOSE NUMBERS MATCH BEFORE YOU ORDER THIS! I love Oregon products. My other MS170 saw has an Oregon bar. I wish Stihl had the option of coming with an Oregon Bar and chain from the factory. Ya know what I did? I went and priced my exact factory supplied Stihl 20", 81 drive links, .325 .063 bar WITHOUT A CHAIN! Amazon sold me this BAR AND A BRAND NEW CHAIN INCLUDED for a less than the Stihl bar cost all by itself. I would recommend this to my friends only they use 3/8. (but they ALL use Oregon bars) October 26, 2024 Just a quick addition. After using my Stihl 261cm for several seasons I noticed that these .325 chains do get dull faster than my 3/8 chains used to. If I had it to do all over again I would have bought my brand new 261cm with a 3/8 bar&chain NOT a .325. If the wood is clean, up off the ground and it has never touched the ground or dirt then MAYBE my .325 would stay sharper longer. ALSO I would still be buying my 3/8 chains and bars and sharpening tools from Amazon just like I did before!

fit perfect and better quality than what was on saw previously

Cuts extremely fast. Was a little bit longer than 20 in which is awesome. It weighs less than the factory one that I took off my saw. After making multiple cuts the chain did not stretch at all. I would say that it's durable and the stability of the chain is good.

Great buy. I put it on my Stile Saw and it works great.

I had a problem with my ms 271 throwing the chain. It was sitting in the shed for a while and bar got Warped. I do not use much anymore so I did not want to spend 70 on a sthil bar . The reason for 4 stars is it is a little heavier then original but worth the 40 bucks all day .and it comes with a chain

Great quality

Fantastic product mad work a lot faster.

did not get but part of the order

Satisfait

The product was used completely blunt.

Fits a Stihl saw and works as it should.

Bought this combo kit for my Stihl 028 although the catch is the chainsaw needs a .325 sprocket for which is not specified on the item page. I installed it on my chainsaw which seemed to fit well until I tried to use my saw. It destroyed my sprocket but the chain still seem intact. Yeah I know, I've should of looked on the chain box although when selling a product like this for none mechanics, it should have a mentioned of it on the ad. As a none mechanic, I didn't know that Stihl had different size sprocket on the 028 and why should I know? Changing a bar and chain is not rocket science or is it???
