Bar and Chain for a 1050 Automatic-And I'm a Newbie

I've just inherited a 1050 from my BIL. We decided that we'd try
to do a little milling with it. I'm looking for the proper bar
and chain to fit the saw without shimming. I'd like something
around the 30"- 36" range. Anyone have one laying around that
would work on an Alaskan Mill they'd like to part with? If you
do, send me a PM please.
I see there a few FF members on this site. Already know who Al
is, and I see Cut4Fun is the administer here.
Thanks for letting me in. Sites like this kinda remind me of
when I was younger and used to go bar-hopping. It seemed no
matter where you went, you ran into friends.
So Cheers to Ya'll!!!

Yeah that bar hopping was fun at the time or at least I thought
it was .The Ohio state patrol kind of put the stops to that but
on the other hand I kinda figured I'd done more than my share
any way . ;)

I can't remember if I submitted a post or even what forum it was
on .On that style of Homelite bars would be rare to find .One
solution is to use a bar mount for an 066 sized Stihl .As I type
Baileys logging has 36" Windsor bars on sale in 36" .063 .375
for $42.99 .
I usually run a 36" Windsor Stihl mount .404 on that big 2100
Homelite in my avatar .I'm pretty sure it's the same size mount
for those two large Homelites .You'll have to either made
adaptors or modify the ones Baileys sells and enlarge the bar
tightening hole but they work real well .The homemade adaptors
are merely like tight fitting thick washers to take the bar
studs from 3/8" to 12 mm bar slot size .
Fact I just might have an extra set of adaptors in one of my
tool boxes .I made up a bunch of them at one time but gave most
of them away .
