84 dl stihl-compatible bar

Where is everyone's favorite place to buy after-market bars to fit Stihl saws? This one is to replace a worn out 24/25-inch Stihl bar. I really don't need to have an expensive bar, as I don't use it all that hard anymore.

probably not quite the reply you are looking for, but I have become partial to the lighter weight bars.
There really isn't a "cheap" 24" bar anymore.... sadly.

Got a picture of the "worn out" bar? Unless it's grooves are walloered out and/or bent/cracked usually can be R + Red......Stihl ES bars are worth fixing.

Right before the tip, it is chewed up pretty badly. I can still use it, I think, for no more than I need the longer bar for. I was mainly just curious.

Archer sells pretty good after-market bars for the money. I've never had any trouble with them. $75 plus tax gets you the bar and a chain combo. Not dirt cheap but nothing is anymore. You can probably get an Oregon combo for about the same price.

That's for sure, Ed. Nothing is cheap.

Still a good value is the Forester Platinum bar. I used a 24" with my 461 for over 4 years. It was still in excellent shape when I sold it with the 461. All others are getting expensive, so I bought another FP bar in 28" for my 500i.
