Savior 18" Chainsaw Chains 3-Pack .325" .050" 68L — Fits Stihl MS250/MS251, Heat‑Treated Semi‑Chisel

Savior 3-pack replacement chains — 18-inch, .325" pitch, .050" gauge, 68 drive links — designed to fit Stihl MS250/MS251 and equivalent saws for durable cutting performance.

If you need dependable replacement chains for routine cutting, storm cleanup or firewood work, these Savior 18" chains provide a ready-to-install option compatible with many popular saw models. Each set contains three chains, storage bags and a pair of gloves, and the links are heat-treated for strength and more consistent operation. The semi-chisel cutter profile balances cutting speed and easier maintenance, while the supplied protective oil helps prevent corrosion during storage and shipping.

Which saw models and OEM parts do these chains replace?

These chains are made to match common chain specifications and several OEM references so you can easily find compatibility with your existing guide bar and sprocket. They suit many Stihl and equivalent saws that use an 18" bar with .325" pitch and .050" gauge, and they are cross-referenced to widely used part numbers for straightforward replacement.

• Compatible pitch/gauge/links: 18" bar, .325" pitch, .050" (1.3 mm) gauge, 68 drive links.
• Replaces OEM numbers: 23RM3 68, 23RS3 68, 23RS 68, 36370050068.
• Cross references: Oregon 20LGX068G, 20LPX068G; TriLink CL75068NSTL2.
• Fits common saws: Stihl MS230, MS241, MS250, MS251 series and similar models.

How does the chain’s construction affect durability and safety?

Each link and rivet receives heat treatment and quenching to strengthen connections and reduce the chance of breakage under load. The semi-chisel cutter design lowers the tendency to snag on dirty wood compared with full-chisel teeth, helping maintain safer, more consistent cutting in mixed conditions. Protective oil applied to the chain resists rust and smooths initial break-in on the bar and sprocket.

• Heat-treated rivets and quenched links for improved tensile strength.
• Semi-chisel cutters for a balance of speed and tolerance to debris.
• Pre-applied protective oil reduces corrosion and eases installation.
• Low-kick design to reduce sudden movements during operation.

What comes in the package and what should I expect during installation?

The package contains three chains, three storage bags and one pair of XL (size 10) gloves to help handle the chains and keep hands free of lubricating oil during setup. Installation follows standard chain tensioning and lubrication procedures; always match the chain pitch, gauge and drive link count to your bar and sprocket before fitting. Note the provided gloves are for handling and oil protection only, not cut resistance.

• Included: 3 chains, 3 storage bags, 1 pair of XL gloves (non-cut-resistant).
• Installation tip: verify bar and sprocket compatibility; align 68 drive links before tensioning.
• Maintenance: sharpen semi-chisel cutters with the correct file size and set depth gauge as recommended.
• Safety: always wear proper protective gear; follow saw manufacturer tension and torque specs.

Will this chain work with saws purchased after mid-2023?

Some saws sold from mid-2023 onward may have used a .050" (1.3 mm) gauge factory chain; this Savior chain is .050" gauge and will fit those models that require that specification. Before ordering, double-check your saw’s required pitch and gauge in the owner’s manual or by measuring your current chain to avoid mismatches. If your saw requires a different gauge, select a chain that exactly matches that measurement.

• This product is .325" pitch, .050" gauge — confirm with your saw spec.
• Measure drive links if uncertain to match the 68 DL count exactly.
• Consult your saw manual or parts list for the correct OEM replacement numbers.
• If uncertain, take the old chain to a parts dealer for verification before buying.

Who this is for: woodcutters, homeowners, landscapers and contractors who use Stihl MS230/MS250/MS251-series or similar 18" guide-bar saws and want a value pack of ready-to-install replacement chains.
