Forester bars and chains

[KMB]

Anybody know about Forester bars and/or chains? I tried a couple of searches here and found one thread that didn't tell me much about experience using this brand. I saw a 16" Foretser bar and chain (to fit my MS 260) on e-bay, and was wondering about the quality of this brand. Maybe someone here has had experience or knows someone who has experience with the Forester brand.
If there is a thread somewhere that I missed about this, kindly direct me that way and y'all won't have to rehash this topic again. Thanks.

got a 20" and full chisel on one saw, pretty happy with it, pretty hard chain, hard to sharpen a little, performs good.

Believe it is relabeled Windsor chain. Bars?

Chains are kinda dull when you get a new one out but they seem to cut just as good,

Bars seem to work ok, not like the windsor's we used to use, We use the forester stuff at work.

my forester bar has windsor stamped in it i think.

Never used the small stuff but the bigger HU mount and Stihl mount(034-660) are made by GB,a very good bar.
