Oregon 16" Guide Bar for 3/8" LP .050" Gauge — 56 DLs, A041 Mount, Lightweight 7‑Tooth Sprocket

Oregon 16" Guide Bar with A041 mount is a lightweight replacement bar designed for small electric and gas chainsaws that use 3/8" low-profile, .050" gauge chain with 56 drive links.

This premium replacement bar from Oregon is built for occasional cutters and DIYers who need a reliable, easy-to-handle guide bar for light-duty cutting tasks. Before purchasing, confirm your chainsaw accepts a 3/8" low-profile pitch, .050" gauge, 56 drive link bar with an A041 motor mount—variations in factory configurations mean not every listed model uses this exact spec.

How do I verify this bar fits my chainsaw?

Check your chainsaw owner’s manual or the manufacturer’s online parts list first. Measure or confirm the pitch, gauge, drive link count, and motor-mount designation to match 3/8" LP, .050" gauge, 56 DLs, and A041 mount.

• Confirm chain pitch: 3/8" low-profile (LP).
• Confirm gauge: .050" (1.3 mm).
• Count drive links: 56 drive links required.
• Match motor mount: A041-style mount designation.

What performance can I expect from a 16" Oregon guide bar?

The 16" length gives a good balance of cutting reach and maneuverability for pruning, firewood splitting, and general property work. Oregon designs bars to reduce weight and help control kickback while maintaining smooth chain travel around the nose sprocket.

• 16" cutting capacity for small to medium tasks.
• Lightweight construction for easier handling.
• Nose sprocket with 7 teeth for smooth chain rotation.
• Improved control and reduced kickback potential.

This A041-mount bar fits many older and current small saws from manufacturers that used the 3/8" LP, .050" spec with 56 DLs. The product listing includes numerous model references, but always cross-check your specific model number and serial variant before ordering.

• Compatible brand references include Craftsman, Echo, Dolmar, Jonsered, Cub Cadet, and more.

• Some models share the same mount type but may have factory variations—verify fitment.

How should I maintain the bar for long life and safe cutting?

Routine care keeps cutting performance steady and prevents premature wear. Inspect the bar groove, nose sprocket, and mounting surfaces regularly, keep chain tension correct, and rotate the bar periodically to promote even wear.

• Clean bar groove and oiling port for consistent lubrication.
• Rotate bar front-to-back occasionally to even out wear.
• Keep correct chain tension and sharpen links on schedule.
• Replace the bar if the rail is bent, the groove is excessively worn, or the nose sprocket is damaged.
