I have a Stihl MS260 with a 20" bar ref: 3003 008 6621. That bar is really worn but finding a replacement of same spec seems to be difficult in Canada. I can see options for 78 or 81 link chains/bar with thicker gauge chain (0.063 vs 0.50) but I have 3 new spare chains of the original spec, these chains (80dl, 0.325, 0.050) are not as easily available now either.
Can I get by with a slightly different bar type 0.058, 81 or 78 dl for example & use up my chains before ordering new to suit that bar? Time is a factor as I need firewood but can't cut anywhere near straight anymore (bar is original from ten years ago).
