Best place to buy reels of chain

[Thumper88]

Im wanting to make the investment in 100' reel of chain for my bigger saws. I want 3/8 .050 full skip square ground. I like oregon but im open to most brands. Who has the best deals on full reels right now?

I prefer Stihl as it doesn't dull as fast. Archer seems to hold an edge well. I find Piltz tends to have good prices on square skip loops, maybe you can ask for a whole roll if nobody here sells rolls.

I usually check these places:
Frawleys
Hlsupply
Madsens
Baileys
Sawsagain (spelling)

Frawley’s all day long. I’ve bought some cheaper stuff on eBay but if you want good Oregon chain at a fair price and quick shipping they’re the best I’ve found. Hard to say how many rolls I’ve bought from them over the years.

I did the math on it once. Stihl brand has a better price on a reel vs loops. There was almost 20% saving buying the reel. Oregon had the least saving getting a reel. Was better off buying loops. But that was for 3/8 chisel not square and 20” loops.

My brother bought a reel of 3/8 x .050 full-skip square ground chain straight from the Husky dealer I used to work for, it cost about $420-430 out the door which is about the cheapest you'll find it on ebay. Of course, I'm not sure if every shop would do that.

Mike Gotta sells reels of Oregon chain.

Is his business name "Gotta Chain"?

Damn autocorrect!

Fixt!

Dammit, I was gonna suggest that he get ads saying, "When you gotta have a chain, think Gotta Chain". I suppose "Gott Chain" still has a nice ring, though.

I have bought lots of stuff from mike and he is great to deal with. Helps he’s only a couple hours from me.

Any ideas on how much a 100' roll of Stihl chain should cost or a good place to get it? I asked my local dealer (not a good dealer) about RSLFK and was told MSRP is no cheaper than buying loops. Kinda stupid to sell bulk chain with no discount. I'm talking 38 cents per DL. I was hoping for more like 20-25c

Anybody ever bought anything from Comstock in NY? How was your experience?
