Oregon bars QC

[Tony Snyder]

Got some 24" Oregon Power Match Plus bars for Solo, Jonsered, Efco tail pattern in the other day. Went to use one today, two out of the bunch (all supposed to be 3/8ths) had .325 pitch noses, although marked and stamped 3/8. All carried the part number 248xxxD009.

Was/is there an actual listed application of .325 pitch on 24" bars, any brand pattern? I thought it might be interesting to try one on a 2159 for firewood.

They were made in our 51st state.

Would these be collectors' items like mis-struck coins?

I doubt they are collectors items. I might try one on a hot rodded 346XP if I had one. Maybe even a 357XP
