## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it fit a Stihl MS 260?**
A: Yes! This is the correct size for a Stihl MS 260 and 261

**Q: Will it fit the Stihl MS 390 with 20” bar?**
A: Thank you for contacting Oregon Tool Jim. The Stihl MS 390 can use either a .325" pitch cutting system or a 3/8" standard pitch cutting system. Those 2 chain pitches are not interchangeable so you will need to make sure which chain pitch your saw is set up for. The L81 chain is a .325" pitch chain for a 20" bar on your saw. So if you determine that your saw is set up for .325" pitch then it will work. If you determine that your saw is set up for 3/8" Standard pitch then you will be looking for Oregon 75EXL072G. Please contact one of our Technical Services Experts at 1-800-223-5168, option #1, if you have further questions.

**Q: It does not fit a ms290...can i exchange it?  i didn't need to open it until after the amazon return period had closed.**
A: I just put it on my Stihl MS290????  Not sure why yours dies not fit.

**Q: Will this fit a husqvarna 455 rancher?**
A: I don't know, it fits my stihl saw. Your manual should tell you the chain specs.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Chains!
*by D***T on March 15, 2020*

I've been cutting firewood for 50 years. I don't know what's different about these chains, but they are by far the best I've ever used. I've been cutting up an oak log that's over 3 feet in diameter. I noticed a huge difference as soon as I put one of these chains on my saw. Not only do they cut better, but they hold their edge better than any chains I've used. I couldn't be happier. Hopefully they will take sharpening well, but if not, they're cheap enough that I wouldn't hesitate to buy a couple of more new ones.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best chains you'll ever own! Razor sharp, used for over 6 months and still haven't had to sharpen!
*by L***D on June 16, 2020*

Awesome, awesome, awesome chains!!!!! I've spent years trying to find a chainsaw blade that lasts more than a season, this is by far the best blades I've found! They cut like butter and I'm loving it! I bought the bar and chain set also just because I wanted a new bar, the chains fit my old bar great also, so you don't have to buy the bar too unless you want to. I just couldn't pass up the price with the bar and chain set. I will definitely not be buying any other chain for my saws from now on, highly highly recommend to anyone in any size chain setup, best chains on the market!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable, Sharp, and Built for Real Work
*by N***Y on September 8, 2025*

I put the Oregon L81 ControlCut Chainsaw Chain to the test during a major storm cleanup, and it didn’t flinch. From thick pine limbs to stubborn hardwood, this chain cut clean and fast without bogging down or kicking back. The Micro Chisel cutters stayed sharp longer than expected, and the LubriTec system kept everything running smooth—even through hours of heavy use.Installation was straightforward, and the fit on my 20" bar was perfect. What really impressed me was the control: precise cuts with minimal vibration, which made a tough job feel a lot safer and more manageable. If you’re serious about yard work or need a chain that won’t quit mid-project, this one’s worth every penny.
