I was looking in the Stihl catalog and they have "RS" in .325 X .050 listed.

The point is, that dealer didn't stock it because typically a .325" Stihl saw is always .063" gauge from the factory.  And all the smaller Stihl saws that would use .325" come with "3" safety chain. It is part of Stihl's philosophy or maybe it is the EPA about the safety chain on small saws?

I changed my 026 to 3/8" X .050" and run RS chain.

I have a 025 Stihl that is .325 X .063" X 16" and it had "RS" chain when I bought it used but notice that it is .063.

.325 Stihl RS cuts real good.

We should share what we know... someone may learn...
That knowledge can live after us... and that "Pays It Forward".
Be all that you can be . . .
