I personally think the sprocket nose foresters are pretty decent bars. The new ones with the 5 rivet black tip along with the red lettering are a lot more visually appealing also.

oregon
They are oregon powermatch's with forester's name on them. And yes they are good, but powermatches might be cheaper.:greenchainsaw:

Are you thinking of Windsor or Total branded bars?

All the new stock forester bars are china knockoffs of of the Power Match, Speed Tip, Prolite, etc.
There's some old stock Forester Bars that are GB Protop & Oregon Prolite Bars relabled as Forester.
I'm not a fan of China Steel when I see China Bolts & Bearings break everyday.

The Power Match copies came out last spring & the Speed Tips are new this winter. Forester is begging me to convert over to their China bars but I wont take them. Even though they have been holding up decent I avoid chinese products if I can.

A buddy of mine who owns a saw shop was dead set against them, but they offered to send him a couple to try for free. After he realized that they were of decent quality and the profit margin was higher he decided to stock them. He has sold tons of these to loggers with good reviews. However I completely understand where your comming from.
