Husqvarna 20-Inch HLN250 Laminated Chainsaw Guide Bar — .325" Pitch, .050" Gauge, 80 Drive Links, Gray

The Husqvarna HLN250 20-inch laminated guide bar is a direct-fit replacement bar that delivers smoother cuts, reduced kickback risk, and long-lasting corrosion resistance for compatible Husqvarna small-mount saws.

Replace a worn or damaged guide bar with this factory-designed HLN250 to restore cutting accuracy and extend the life of your chainsaw. Engineered for specific Husqvarna models including the 445(e), 450(e), 545(MII), 550XP(MII) and 450 Rancher, the bar’s laminated construction and small nose radius help keep cutting controlled while resisting scratches and surface corrosion. Built to the original specifications, it matches the .325" pitch, .050" gauge and 80 drive links required by these saws.

How does this bar reduce kickback and improve control?

The HLN250 uses a gentle curve and a small nose radius to limit sudden upward forces at the tip, which lowers kickback risk. That geometry also helps the operator keep the chain in the kerf for steadier, more predictable cuts.

• Small nose radius for lower tip reaction forces
• Curved profile keeps the chain aligned in the cut
• Precision fit minimizes bar wobble for cleaner cuts

What are the exact fit and sizing details I should check?

This guide bar is specified at 20 inches, with a .325" chain pitch, .050" gauge and 80 drive links — matching the chain and sprocket configuration on compatible Husqvarna saws. Confirm your saw model and existing chain specs before ordering for a direct fit.

• Length: 20 inches (measured tip to tip)
• Pitch: .325" — matches designated chains
• Gauge: .050" and Drive Links: 80 for correct sprocket engagement

What makes the laminated finish beneficial for regular use?

The laminated surface prevents scratches and slows corrosion compared with bare metal finishes, helping the bar look and perform well over time. This protective layer reduces surface wear from debris contact and frequent handling.

• Lamination resists scratching during transport and storage
• Improved corrosion resistance in outdoor conditions
• Easier cleaning and maintenance of the bar surface

Will this bar work with other Husqvarna lengths or accessories?

Husqvarna offers the HLN family in multiple lengths so you can match cutting needs, but the HLN250 fits only specific small-mount models with the stated pitch, gauge and drive link count. Use Husqvarna chains, tensioners and filing tools sized for .325"/.050" to maintain optimal performance.

• Available in other lengths for different cutting tasks
• Use with compatible .325" pitch chains and sprockets
• Pair with official Husqvarna maintenance accessories for best results

Who is this for? The HLN250 20" laminated guide bar is built for owners of compatible Husqvarna chainsaws who need a durable, OEM-spec replacement. It’s ideal for homeowners and professional users who value predictable cutting behavior, reduced tip reaction, and a corrosion-resistant finish — especially those working in wet or abrasive outdoor conditions who want a straightforward, factory-fit upgrade.
