FedEx showed up with this little beauty! Even got the full wrap, never had one. Thank you so much @jacob j. Can't wait to try it out.
Now to decide what size bar? I'll swap my 365SP 20" over for now, but do I go longer or shorter? Was already thinking a 24" before the raffle as I have chains from the MS660 25". I'm guessing this is set up for 3/8" .050, guessing I need to look at the rim?

It currently has a 3/8" rim on it now, so whichever gauge you want to use is fine. It would be plenty comfortable with either a 20" or 25".

I wouldn't go any bigger than a 28".

Thinking of a 24" due to the fact I have chains from the 660 and my 365sp already has a 20" plus can share the bar. Looking forward to doing some cutting. Thanks again Jacob, you are the best.

24” reduced weight bar balances nice (like a total/tsumura for example).

Jon, you just made my day. I get to correct you about a bar fittment... The bar you linked is a K095 and I am pretty sure she got a 562 not a 560 so would need a D009 fittment. I do agree that it looks like Nate is out of stock at the moment.
You're welcome, Gary. For some reason, I had it stuck in my big ol' melon that the 562 is a small mount.

I checked @fordf150 Nate's old site layout and I found a couple of options.

For the price I might try one of these:

https://performance-outdoor-equipme...s/oregon-versacut-24-3-8-050-84dl-240vxlhd009

Or for the Tsumura:
https://performance-outdoor-equipme...tsumura-459fk4-24-3-8-050-84dl-reduced-weight

Is Performance Outdoor equipment his site? I like the idea support members. This will put a 16" on my 026, 20" on the 365 special & 32" on the MS660 (have a 25" as well).
Thanks again for all the input.

Nate is a great guy to deal with. I’ve bought stuff from him 4 or 5 times and we always find the best way to get it to me. He doesn’t get on here as much anymore but if you have a chance give a call at the shop often has other stuff that isn’t in the web too.
