Stihl original bars
The MSE 170 C-B 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 2.1 hp power of the MSE 170 C-B. The linked Oregon chains (90PX) are specified for saws up to 42cc, though, and OK for the MSE 170 C-B.
The compatible original bars are listed below. Recommended bar lengths are 12″ to 16″, compatible bars outside this range greyed out.
