Light weight .404 bar?

[Thumper88]

Does anyone make a 36" reduced weigh/light bar in .063 .404? Specifically for medium mount/3003 Stihl mount. My google fu isnt up to snuff on finding one.

Any bar with the exception of the Sugihara can be converted to .404 by swapping out the sprocket nose. Its quite simple and can be done with a drill and small ball peen hammer.
If your careful removing the old one you then have a spare 3/8ths nose for a smaller saws bar.

That’s why you’re called the Chief and we’re just peons, you see the easy we, we complicate everything.

You could also do large mount with an adapter to the midsize but changing the nose isn’t a big deal either. I recently got a Tsumura large mount .404 for my 084 off eBay for a fair price.

Still working on the carbon fiber bar thing. If you’re not in a hurry and want to be a guinea pig…
