Electric saw's chain (on a gas saw?)

[Mischa Shashumshkavich]

one of me neighbor's scrapper buddies found an electric chainsaw on side of road, think it was a remington, he asked me if i wanted it, i tested it and it was fried. I took the chain though because it looked new.... but it looks like it has about 1/2 as many cutters as my other chains.....would it be okay to run this chain on on a gas saw (if it fits in and on the bar) ????

Might be a skip-tooth chain, which is fine. However, many electric saws run narrow gauge chains. Verify it's the same pitch and gauge as your bar and sprocket.

nice.......also nice is your saw collection.... what kind of chain/bar do you use on your 6401? ( i just bought a 6421 from Home Depot, but it has a safety chain and i don't even know what kind of bar....bar is all black and just has HD rental painted on it)
