I have a Husqvarna 350i and am going to buy a couple chains for it. It's 3/8" .050". Is the mini chain that it comes with the same as low profile. I'm guessing it is but want to make sure before I buy some.

I don't think it would be the same. You might need to change the bar. Beware as these are designed for low kickback and probably to reduce the depth of cut.

I may have to physically compare it to a low profile chain and see if it's different or the same. I hate to pay more for a Husqvarna chain when I know some of the other cheaper chains are just as good.

You should be able to buy a chain of the same specs as long as it's been around for awhile. I don't do much cutting, so just bought some amazon ones for my clone (craftsman). Mine is the regular anti-kickback type chain as it's a 42cc gas.
