Looking to get a ,faster, better chain for my 35cc saw w 16" bar.
Looking at these, the only oregon chains, I see that are yellow label

91VX054G , LOW PROFIL, CHAMFER CHISEL CHAIN (91VX) 54, 3/8".050
91VXL054G , CHAIN, SEMI CHISEL, 3/8 LONG TOP, 54, 3/8".050

LGX listed above is full chisel but FWIW Oregon recommends 50cc or larger saw. 91VXL is also often recommended on AS. Here's a listing by one of ebay's many great vendors:

I think these are what you are looking for, Oregon, 16" full chisel, 3/8, .05. What saw are you putting these on, the Eager Beaver?

Yes it is for the Beaver ,model # 60013202, 54 drive links, if necessary I'll get another bar
I just want something better than ,basic low pro chain
Been getting my chains here, http://customcare.co/products/91vxl054g-chain, I get them in 2 days, there is also an additional discount code(tryusout), they also have a store on eBay ,http://stores.ebay.com/customcareoutdoorpowerparts
 
Your saw runs Lo-profile 3/8", Oregon 91 series or similar from Stihl, etc. It cannot run 7x series 3/8" chain, even with the right bar/sprocket combo that saw can't pull it efficiently. You're talking 35cc here, man! The Oregon stuff will work great for you, though that saw would be happier with a 12" bar, in my opinion.

Ditto. If you want to pull a more aggressive chain, take a look at the poulan 5020, put on a 16 inch bar with some lgx chain and you'll have nice little cutter.
 
I am gonna second or third or whatever - the idea of pulling 16" of full chisel with your 35CC beaver is asking a whole bunch from that saw. I think you may find out that it will puke on you in the cut. You will probably stall the chain more than you want.

Stihl has a full chisel version of their Picco chain that would work well on that saw. You most likely would have to have them cut the loop to size either off a bulk reel or from a longer loop.
 
Stihl shop near me has bulk of every chain stihl has.
They made up a 14" chisel for my old craftsman.
Got to keep the rpms up, it not quit enough power to work it hard but good back up & light weight for liming

Thanks for the info/input , I will try a 91VXL054G , looks like it will be better than the 91VG054G
If I don't need the power and bar length, of the husky 61 , I use the beaver , cuz that 61 gets heavy pretty quick .
I'll get a different chain for the old 32cc craftsmen also, cuz It's really light and runs like a top. Was a good buy @ $35
But ya know what ! I got the chain saw bug ;lol So I think I'm gonna have to fill the other nitch with a 45cc or so :)
