Stihl 038 Magnum Chain Questions

What size chain does a Stihl 038 Magnum take?

3/8" pitch, 0.063" (1.6mm) gauge is the common setup on the 038 and 038 Magnum. Drive link count depends on bar length: 72 DL (20"), 84 DL (25"). Note: some 038 units were run in .404" pitch, especially on longer bars — check your bar stamp before ordering.

How many drive links is a Stihl 038 chain?

Count depends on bar length — see above. The DL count is usually stamped on the bar itself, or count the drive links on your old chain. You can also use our Search by Chainsaw tool.

Is this a genuine Stihl chain?

No — it's an Alpine Chain Co. chain manufactured to fit the Stihl 038 Magnum, replacing the genuine Stihl chain and matching the Oregon 75DPX. Same pitch, gauge and drive link options, with a semi-chisel profile chosen for Australian hardwood. Every fit is backed by our Guaranteed Fit system.

How to Verify Your Chain Size

If you are unsure if this is the correct chain for your Stihl 038 Magnum, check the side of your current guide bar. The Pitch, Gauge, and Drive Link (DL) count are typically stamped directly into the bar near the mounting bolts.
