This may be in the too-hard basket but if I don't ask, we'll never know.

Who here could use a few such noses and if so, for which bars please?
What I'm wondering is if there are the numbers in any types of bars to make it worth sorting out an option if there is none already.

It may be too few needed, spread over too many different brands. So, with that in mind, perhaps the better question might be something like:

If we can convince a quality brand to make a batch of such noses and supply them on their .050 bars would you be willing to buy such a bar? With this option, I'm essentially interested to see if we can dangle a big enough carrot in front of a quality brand.

Again, might be pissing into the wind, but...
 
I haven't had any trouble using a regular 3/8 nosed bar. I did have trouble with the drive sprocket stretching chains to the point where they jumped the drive sprocket but after I modified a couple of 404 sprockets to suit the LP all is good..
 
Thanks Bob. Which chain and what bars have you used? I'm specifically thinking of Stihl's picco with the shorter chassis.
