Do any of you use Stens Silver streak or Carlton bars? I am looking for a 20” bar for my Super XL. Or are there any other manufacturers besides Oregon that you like?

I have a Sten's Silver Streak 24"" bar on my SXL AO and for my 2 chords of fire wood a year , it has been OK .
Keep in mind with a 24" bar the saw will be nose heavy . I made an extended bucking spike that keeps the saw
tipping and getting the bar in the dirt .

Yeah I bought a 24” Oregon bar and it’s too much bar. Going to get a 20” bar. The Stens is about $20 cheaper. For my purposes I think it will probably be just fine. I don’t cut more than 10 ricks in a year. This is really a backup saw anyhow

If you'd be interested in selling the 24 in.bar I may be interested in it for my 410.I'm assuming it's a D096 or D196 mount?PM me.

Nah Ed. I am going to keep the bar. I have a bow bar on my other saw that uses the 81 DL chain. That’s why I got it. One eBay vendor has them for $65 and that was the cheapest one I could find. 240RNDD196.

I've been running an Archer on my XL-500 and it's been a good bar.
