Lightest 262 bar

[Farmchuck]

anyone happen to know what the lightest weight 18" 3/8" bar would be for a 262? And where one might purchase said bar? Gauge doesn't much matter to me.

My guess would be a laminated bar.
You looking for light weight or longevity?

Both if possible. But I guess weight would top longevity.

This. The lightest bar available will be a "homeowner" laminated bar, the lightest quality bar available will probably be a Tsumura Light and Tough.

Price wise, look into forester bars or China gb.
You can pick them up cheap. I believe there was a store on the west coast running a special.
I'll have to look to confirm.

Which one are you using? I have some here that are pretty light.
Don't know how long they last, but the price is rite.

My forester and gb bars are not light.

I have some of the older gb bars that are souls bars, great quality and seem to have heat wear in the rails, do you know if there still being made and where?

 

[Icepick69]

Oregon has the new bars out also. They are lite weight and have the aluminum insert.
Dave has a few for sale. He mite be able to give you there weight.

Not sure on a 18" but a 20" is ~2.02 lbs. I THINK an 18 is ~1.90 lbs

I believe a 3 piece laminated bar would be light weight. Or would it have to say lite weight to be a lite weight bar?

I have a 18" sugi hara on my 262 and it balances nicely a touch back to the handle.
Not sure it is the lightest but I like it.
It will likely be heavier than a skinny 325 laminate bar
I like it tho
