Cannon Bar Help

[mikerudder]

Hey Fellas,

I have a Cannon Hard Nose Bar
Large Mount Stihl

The only markings on it are:
29L050

So 29", .050 Gauge is what I am guessing?

Since it is a hard nose, I guess I could run 3/8 or .404?

Does anyone know the drive link count for both 3/8 and .404?

Thanks!

Not sure if they make any .404 in .050 gauge. Thought it was all .063 gauge.

Thats what I have been told on the other site.

Any idea of drive links?

At one time, you could purchase 404 in 50 gauge, but it's hard to find now.
What saw you running it on?

Haven't run it yet, I got in a while back with a bunch of other stuff.

Finally have an 880 to run it on.

You normally run solid tip bars on a 880?

Nope never have. Just pulled out the bar and was looking for some info on it.

I don't even know if it will ever see use, was just going through my chains and seeing if I could fit something to it.
Looks to be a nice older Cannon in good shape.

Throw something one it and try it.
Mite fall in love with the solid nose.
Some people will not run nothing but solid nose bars.
