24” .404 063 bar for Stihl 661

[Chopmistchopper]

Hey guys does anyone know of a source for a 24” .404 pitch bar for a 661? I have a few rolls of .404 RS chain and am currently running a Stihl 32” bar. I’m fine with quality after market, just have not been able to find one. 24-25 inch would be ideal, Thanks

Probably have to swap tips now that the GB old stock is gone

Is anyone familiar with the Archer bars? Are the good quality? I’m only familiar with Stihl, cannon,
Granberg and Oregon

I did a few searches. Didn’t find much on the positive side but it was comparing the bars to cannons, Stihl oem, etc. baileys had a few Oregon but they may have been 3002 Mount.

For the price, I would go with an Oregon Power Match Plus Bar. I have had great luck with them in 24" length. They are good quality.

Unfortunately they don’t offer a .404 in the small Stihl mount that I could find

Ahh. Good point.
I know a couple of guys using the Archer bars and chains. They like them. They do well for their intended purpose. But they are no Tsumura or Sugihara.
They are using the 3/8 bars and chains.
Might be worth tbe shot.

@Redbull661 Julian can you provide some direction?

The tips will interchange. A good dealer might swap them for you even. If not, you'd just need a 3/8 .063 D025 bar and a replacement .404 tip. Same with pretty much any brand.

Good point!
