How are you guys doing on getting new stihl bars , I got enough
to last me a year or 2 sitting here but the dealers got pretty
much zero in stock and Stihl sent out a email telling them zero
bars until further notice and there are not many saws at the
dealers either

I ask the guys in mu chainsaw repair group facebook for ya. One
guy said his dealer in Manitoba has a good stock of 24" and up
on hand.
I'll keep ya posted.
Another Tried to get a light weight bar in the fall from my
local dealer( in Canada) everything was out of stock. At the
time I could get a 25 rollmatic but choices were slim, haven’t
looked into it since
Seems it depends on dealers. Some stocked some not they are
saying. Guy is Aussie just bought a 36" and all
in stock.

Just bought a new rollomatic with re-placeable tip x 20" for my
362. Maybe this is what you guys are saying is the heavy duty
one? It was like $70 while the standard(not available and no
idea when) was about $50. I had no choice.
Later I found Runnings had both the standard bars in stock and
the heavys.

He is talking about ES light bars. Then ES is normal
replaceable bar and E is laminated bar with NOT replaceable tip.

Have you tried the KU ( Quiri) bars from China? Don't scoff at
them for being Chinese. My brother ordered a consignment a
couple of years ago. Insisted on top quality not competative
pricing. They sent him 18" bars same as the RSN bars, with the
replaceable 3 rivet barnose same as Stihl, which can be used as
replacement on Stihl OE RSN bars. What you may find hard to
believe or accept is that these bars were on par if not better ,
very low groove wear and bar tip wear. They had also sent some
sample loops of their Maya chain. But the cutter profile was not
too great. However once the cutters were filed to shape using a
5.2 ( 5.16 mm actually) round file they performed very well.
Maybe not as same as a 36RS. But definitely better than a
Carlton A3 or a Oregon 75LGX .
My pet theory is that the incorrect cutter profile might also be
a catalyst for the chain stretching. The out of the box wide
profile cutter ( a semi square profiled more for a 5.5mm file)
stretched faster than the one that was first reshaped using a
5.2 mm file.
The KU bar noses unlike the Stihl ones have the greasing points
on either side.
One thing my brother insisted upon was the bars having no brand
name on them, so as to not to mislead customers. And the
manufacturer actually was happy that we didn't want Stihl to be
printed on them . There was very little negative feedback on
these bars and bar noses. And, for the quality the prices were
extremely competitive. One lesson we learned was that they can
give top quality if you don't mind a higher price.

No I have not nor have I ever heard of those , one bar I have
been running is the oregon versa-cut on the landing saws , they
seem pretty good and do not wear the rails out as fast as other
bars , this sand is brutal on bars used for bucking trees up
