Compatible Bars
Husqvarna original bars
The Husqvarna 266 takes all Husqvarna guide bars with the Large mount, 3/8″ pitch and .050″ or .058″ gauge (.063″ fits too, although not specified). The compatible original bars are listed in the three tables below. Husqvarna does not give a recommended bar length range, but 15″ to 24″ should be OK based on the CC; other lengths greyed out.
A quick selection guide: the X-Force XF-388 bars are lightweight affordable bars and great for occasional use; for heavy-duty use, the solid HT-380 and HT-388 bars with replaceable noses will give the longest service life.

Oregon bars
Oregon makes a large number of Husqvarna 266 -compatible guide bars in the D009 mount, 3/8″ pitch and both in .050″ and .058″ gauges. These bars are listed in the two tables below. Models too long for the 266 to run are greyed out.
The AdvanceCut™ (SFH) bars (.050″ or .058″) are probably the best choice for the occasional use, while the replaceable-nose PowerCut™ (EXLD/RND) bars give the longest service life in heavy use.
