I bought my 451C used & there doesn’t appear to be any slop in the arm.

How does it hold an edge? There's a local shop that sells reels of Archer chain for a decent price.

Doesn’t the Archer have a slightly wider top plate? I had a pic at one time of Stihl, Archer & Carlton, seemed like the Archer had a wider tooth/top plate.

Yes. The 3/8 looks like .404.
The cutters are softer than Oregon though. Easy to hand file.
