If i dare, i would say it looks like its been hammered for a 5 month old bar!

 

Its either been too hot or had a LOT of work.

 

I have husky (oregon) bars several years old, with what i class as "the odd day here and there" use, and they ALL still have plenty of paint on them!

 

Doesnt ring true to me that this is a nicely maintained, carefully used bar.

 

Have you tried asking the dealer if he would swap it on warranty as its not very old and not had much use?

i mantain my equipment far more than all the people i no around here. im always taking saws to bits cleaning them up etc. the bar is very well maintained everytime i sharpen chain ive filed the bar for burs, which is why the paint doesnt stay on long on my bars.

 

im not going to bother with taking the bar back its alot of hassle for the price of a new bar ill just buy one.

Worked hard & died young. What's the big deal?

 

 

We could not afford bars that lasted forever, so suck it up and buy a new one dude!

No worries, i get you now:thumbup1:

 

Just as a word of advise, when you are filing the burrs off the edge of the bar, try and put the file near the burrs, as somehow you have managed to file off all the paint in the middle of the bar but miss some adjacent to the edge:001_tt2:
