I have a lightly used 30" / 3/8 / .058 ga Carlton bar (made in Germany.) I ran it with a 288xp. 1 matching Oregon chain (not sure which exact one, but looks to be full chisel, full comp) that is probably 75% still (will need to be filed.) Bar looks more used than it actually is. The silver doesn't hide much in the way of scratches like paint does.
The bar has seen less than 2 hrs of cutting time. Silver w/ black replaceable tip. As you can see in photos, there are some scratches, but there's hardly any wear on the rails. Tiny amount of sap near rails, but not much. Great bar, very strong, wears very well, and is not known to bend easily. Not sure if these are made anymore, at least not under this name.
Looking for $75 + actual shipping costs. I also may be open to trades for a new-ish/lightly used 28" / 3/8 / .050 ga bar that will fit the 288xp. I want to switch to .050 ga on both my saws so I can use chain from each on both should I need to and .058 ga is not helping me there. Would rather sell outright, though.
