Tsumura light 16” or 18”

[Lindley]

I am looking to start over and keep things simple with one chain and bar type for two saws. I plan to buy five 3/8" pitch .050 gauge lightweight Tsumura bars in their A010 (Stihl 3003) mount for a MS 261 C-M and MS 462 C-M (deposit down on the 462... anxiously waiting).

These appear to be Tsumura's part numbers based on a 2015 catalog from the Tsumura website. But I can't seem to find either of the 16" or 18" lightweight bars. Do they actually exist?

• 200FK4 = 16"
• 201FK4 = 18"
• 202FK4 = 20"
• 204FK4 = 24"
• 241FK4 = 28"

With a roll of Stihl 3623 RS chain and one set of files I'm looking forward to keeping things simple (for once) and just getting to work.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Great! Thanks for the quick response.

No problem. Now I just browsed his listings and noticed LW bars in 16 and 18 for .325 but no 3/8s. If you call him durn shop hours he can tell ya more. He is a super cool dude to talk to, makes ya feel like a long lost friend.

16” 3/8 .050?

 

[RI Chevy]

I have 16 3/8 .050 in Tsumura regular bar.
Not the LW version. Excellent bar.

 

[Matt Ellerbee]

@Lindley did you ever find any 16” LW bars?

 

[Lindley]

Yes, check here for the 16” lightweight bar. $63 at the time of this posting
