Does it matter what gauge chain if the pitch is same as far as sprocket goes?? Ex. running 3/8 .050 switch to 3/8 .063 chain. Would I have to find a sprocket for .063 3/8 or just 3/8? I plan to replace my bar soon and have found a good price on 3/8 .063 with chain. My drive sprocket will need replaced also ( worn as well), but I don't see any mention of gauge on them, just pitch.  Thanks Jim |

Sprockets don't know anything about gauge, just pitch.
The bars are gauge specific.

The bars are gauge specific. CSW ... and, if sprocket-nosed, bars are also pitch specific. CSW is right on the money, just felt like adding that one little qualifier. Dan |

Ya know, I just couldn't figure out how to put that into words and have it sound right. Thanks  Dan Jim |

I guess I've just never seen a C-71 with a sprocket tip 3/8 lo/pro bar  Seriously, I don't think you can run the same sprocket from 3/8 to 3/8 LP, Teeth being equal, I think the diameters are different, probably stemming from the taller drive link on the 3/8. I'm going to check, and report back. CSW |

On a solid tip bar, designed for 3/8, you could run LP, as long as you had the matching drive sprocket
