I have a 262 and have it set up for a 3/8 chain. It still cuts like a light sabre. I didn't want to run saws with different chains if I didn't have to.

This thread has really got me thinking. We should implement a feature where your font size gets bigger every time you contribute something helpful but it gets smaller every time you engage in internet dick-waving.

Look at both bars, the relevant chain information will be stamped.
You will find chain gauge: .050" .058" or .063"
Pitch: .325 in your case
length: in drive links, probably 60
Make sure both saw bars are the same gauge or you will have issues with your bar.

Look for new Light 04 bar from Stihl: Stihl .325 RS PRO chain + 04 Light and (broken link removed to https://www.stihl.com/p/media/download/STWN-022040_STIHL_Produktblatt_EN_Light04.pdf)
It's .325 pitch with .050 gauge. Something Stihl hadn't offered before.
UK Stihl website. Who knows when (if ?) release set for US.
for MS 261, MS 271 and MS 291It's .325 pitch with .050 gauge. Something Stihl hadn't offered before.
