The Oregon R50 is a 3/8-inch low-profile pitch, .050-inch gauge replacement chain for Stihl saws up to 42 cc, such as the MS 170, MS 180 and MS 250. Its semi-chisel chamfer chisel cutters trade a little speed in clean wood for tolerance of dirt and knots, which suits firewood and yard cleanup. The chrome-plated cutters and hardened rivets resist wear, and the Lubri-Tec oiling channel feeds oil along the bar. It is a mainstream consumable rather than a premium chain: full-chisel loops cut faster in clean timber but dull quicker in gritty wood, and cheap no-name loops wear faster. Owners rate it highly for fit and durability.

Owners rate the R50 highly, mostly for clean fit on Stihl saws and long life between sharpenings. Complaints are few and center on cut speed and the need to confirm the correct pitch and gauge before buying.
The Oregon R50 is a replacement saw chain with semi-chisel cutters. The cutters are precision made and heat treated, and the chain cuts smoothly with a higher tolerance for debris. The chamfer chisel cutter design is low vibration and low kickback.
A tough chrome outer layer and hardened rivets reduce wear, so the chain needs fewer adjustments. The built-in Lubri-Tec automatic oiling system delivers oil to key parts to help limit downtime and maintenance.
This chain fits chainsaw models that use 3/8 inch low-profile pitch, .043 inch (1.1 mm) gauge and 50 drive links. It is for saw sizes up to 42 cc. It is made in the U.S.A. and comes with a lifetime warranty.
