Bought a loop of Husqvarna C83 x-cut chain from this eBay seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134264313670 for $24 per 84DL loop.
Came in a Husky box but not sealed and pretty sure they spun this loop from a roll. Doh, I just saw this at the bottom of their listing. I was going by the "new in box" attribute, which I don't think I would consider this to be.
"***this chain will come off a 100 foot roll cut at our location and in factory box hand written on box**"
How do these rivets/straps look? I don't spin chain myself but it seems like it was not pinched down enough? Maybe its fine.
The grind is... interesting. Huge amount of hook on the tooth and not a radius. It's certainly sharp but never going to be this shape again by hand filing. There is also some gullet remaining.
I thought I would try this instead of the usual Oregon 72LGX chain I run because it was only a few bucks more and seems to have good feedback.
