Stihl original bars

The MS 201 C-M takes all Stihl guide bars with the small 3005 mount, 3/8P (Picco) pitch and .050″ gauge (63 PM3 chain). Also .043″ gauge bars fit technically, but the .043″ chain (61 PMM3) not specced for the 2.4 hp power of the MS 201 C-M. The linked Oregon chains (90PX) are specified for saws up to 42cc, though, and OK for the MS 201 C-EM.

The compatible original bars are listed in the table below. Recommended bar lengths are 12″ to 16″, compatible bars outside this range greyed out.
