Is it practical to change chain pitch?

I have an old Echo CS-302 that runs great. It has a 1/4" pitch
chain which make it very annoying to find a replacement. Would
it work to change the sprocket to one for 3/8" chain pitch, then
get a 3/8" chain and bar? I'd love to have a good selection of
chains and guide bars at Home Depot in the future.

1/4" to 3/8LP picco not 3/8 full size. Change drum spur and or
sprocket rim and bar if not a hardnose bar already.
1/4 chain is out there. What are you needing?
Nate sells it in Oregon 25.

Frawley's did have free shipping, I've bought several chains,
bar or 2 and a rim sprocket/drum setup from them. Usually takes
about 3 days to get here, NW Ga. Seems like good people. I think
if it were me though I'd leave it 1/4" but I may be a bubble or
2 off plum
