Stihl MS 250 Chain Questions

What size chain does a Stihl MS 250 take?

.325" pitch on every MS 250. Newer light bars run 0.050" (1.3mm) gauge; classic bars run 0.063" (1.6mm) — check the stamp on your bar. Drive link count depends on your bar: 62 DL for the 16", 68 DL for the 18".

How many drive links is an MS 250 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 MS 250, replacing the Stihl 23 RM / 26RM and Oregon 20BPX / 22BPX. 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 MS 250, 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.
