For what it is worth, TriLink ('OOO') is now advertising a full chisel, 3/8" low profile, 'professional' chain now.
Not sure who stocks it, but it was in some of the trade magazines.

Dig up the full chisel picco 3/8LP threads.

Thanks. Was not sure which thread to post this.

So does the ooo look like the archer? Link to the ooo?

I'll try that chain if it's cheap enough.  I have a 92dl loop of TriLink 3/8" semi-chisel (not LP) that came to me on a Homelite SXL925.  Cut well for semi and stayed sharp a long time in oak.  Seemed to be as good as Oregon semi chisel 3/8 pitch chain.

For 3/8LP I usually run Oregon 91VXL as it works well on my little Poulans, and is usually much cheaper than Stihl chain. 

I love Oregon 76LG (basically a 3/8 pitch chain with lighter drivers and side plates, with somewhat smalller cutters for smaller saws) on my 41-46cc Homelite Super E-Z and Poulan 4620 type saws.  Unfortunately, it has dried up, as racers have grabbed all they can for stripping to use parts from when assembling race chains (using the 76 drivers and side plates with regular 3/8 pitch cutters).

I had a line on 25' or so of 76LG with presets from a guy on AS (and elsewhere).......but we lost contact for a while and he 'forgot' about me and sold it.  DAMMIT. 

In any case, this tall TriLink 3/8LP chisel might be a good replacement for my 'larger' small saws.  A041 and K041 bars are available in LP, and can be modified for use on my Super E-Z's.  I hate .325 pitch...

@Eccentric archer has a full chisel 3/8LP picco you might want to try.  https://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/chain/archer-38lp-picco-round-chisel/
