I'll be running mine for real starting Wednesday. I just cut some cookies when I got it. My biggest disappointment is it came with a .050 bar and not an 063.

You could have swapped it for any bar you wanted and just paid the difference.

You're 100% right. But I went home and ran it before I took the bar off. So I'm not gonna ask them to swap it.

Something that was entirely my fault..... I was excited.....

Nothing wrong with .050" until you get 32" or longer, it's much more common on Stihl saws and any Stihl dealer will have the chain on hand.

Besides my climbing saws I've got everything to 404 .063. which is nice since I spin my own chains.

Edit: I lied my pro mac 700 is still 050.

Why, they should have run it with that bar when it was prepped. Get the bar you want.

I grabbed a new 461 last year and went down this same road. Didn't specify gauge and didn't check it while in the store.

Easy solution, order the bar you want and sell the other one on here. That worked for me.
