i have plenty of chain thanks. And your right I will sometimes call a sprocket tip a roller nose, even though I know better. It can be even more confusing to a person if a saw has a Windsor bar on it and I call it a Speed Tip. People will look at you like you have 3 heads.....
The bars i question are the non-replaceable sprocket tips. For the 12 bucks each, i just might buy a couple and hope the best.
I have some nos hardnose bars that came on some PM6's. I might part with one or two,they do have some shelf wear though.
