I wanted to be able to run a shorter bar on my newly acquired Remington Super 990. The bar I had needed 78dl of .404. So, today was the day to try to find a chain.
The first dealer didn't have any .404 in stock and only have a guy at the parts counter on Saturday, who can't make up a loop.
Quick phone call, second dealer doesn't stock .404.
Third dealer probably had it but I couldn't get there before they closed at 1:00pm.
Fourth dealer closes at 4:00pm on Saturday and I still needed some other stuff so, off we go. They are a small Stihl dealer and mostly sell homeowner stuff, but he lets me dig through the boneyard whenever I want. I asked if they had any .404 chain, he said "I do, but I don't have any tie straps. I'll let you have it cheap, if you want it. Wanna see it?"
Oregon .404 partial roll (52 on the drivers) no tie straps
Stihl .404 complete 25' roll (minus 78dl) tie straps were in the box.
Sandvik 1/2 inch 25' roll, no tie straps
Can anyone ID these chains? I am guessing the Oregon is 52cp.
He also gave me a handful of .404 tie straps, they do not fit either of the above chains, the diameter is to large to go through the drivers on those. Any ideas what chain they may fit?
Anyone have tie straps to fit these?
Did I do ok for $50?
