I've been waiting for these bars (20" 3/8 .050 sprocket nose) to be available with the Stihl mount for a while, and now they finally are available, so I ordered a couple and the came last week.
Put one on an Asian 440 BB, and it balances perfectly and cuts real well. Can't comment on the durability at this point in time, but there are no visible signs of wear yet, and at under $20 you just can't beat the price.
I threw the bar on my postal scale and it is relatively light (I like that) at 2 lbs 7.3 oz.
For comparison, a Stihl ES bar is 2 lb 13.5 oz, and I find they make 60 + 70 cc saws nose heavy.
My Stihl E bar is 2 lb 4.6 oz, and my Sugi Light is 2 lb 3.1 oz. (for the price of the Sugi Light you can get 4 or 5 of these).
Hope to give it some good workouts soon and see how it holds up, but so far I'm very pleased with it.
