Archer chain

[Larry B]

I hate 043 chain. Swapped out the bar for a 14" .050 3/8 . Makes it a real saw.

3/8 on a Stihl MS170? Hmmm.

Jeff
It’s Always 3/8 but the narrow.043

What would you expect the 1/4?

 

[RI Chevy]

No I was expecting it to be .325. 3/8 really loads a small saw.

 

[Evansaw]

No I was expecting it to be .325. 3/8 really loads a small saw.

Not really it’s very thin and cut well for such saw

325 always has more cutters it would be more difficult to run

I run 325 to my MMWS 261

I guess from what I can tell with a half worn down archer loop on a 32” bar. As I first opened the chain I thought it looked very crude. In fact I thought it would be junk. I’m impressed. I can’t say I like it better than stihl or Oregon but it’s not a trashy chain at all. Cuts true holds an edge. The tooth profile works. Unbeatable so long as they keep the price under Oregon.

So it must be 3/8 LP chain?

Lp stands for Low Profile that’s 3/8 .50

I think it might called something else.

But who categorize 170 as a chainsaw anyway? Lol

It’s only good to put it at 100meters and get a Sig P210 grouping inside its H/L jet holes.

 

[RI Chevy]

LOL. Be nice now. Its still a STIHL.

 

[Evansaw]

LOL. Be nice now. Its still a STIHL.

I would prefer NOT.

Maybe donate all 170 products to Sig Sauer Academy?

Not LP. Just regular 3/8 .050 chain.

Hate on my 170 if you want but it was free and I have run the snot out of it limbing trees and such.

Magic word FREE that solves lot of problems my friend

And it’s not hate, just humor.

But I was given free 064 &066flat all oem

Here you go Jeff (bet you know anyhow) ....Stihl language for ya

.

 

[Simondo]

I need a decent chain in the .43 (1.1mm) 3/8 Lp size for folks that run the 14" narrow kerf set up on small saws that I deal with. This is the chain of choice as the cutters are narrow as well as the drive links...



I am trying this offering from Archer as a budget alternative ...




Not bad, apart from the cutters are still not as narrow as the Oregon chain .

 

[RI Chevy]

Thank you sir. Pico. Lol. Got it...

 

[ajschainsaws]

fitted a archer full skip chisel 24" 3/8 050
on the 850 and it looks pretty good
not a bad finish at all

That's a really ugly toof. Does it not fit in the bar groove?
