I would just buy the cheaper Stihl bar.

 

The nose sprocket/bearing will probably outlast the rest of the bar IME.

 

Does anyone ever bother to get a new nose on their bar?

 

 

It's a good point this - I've only ever changed a nose sprocket to change the pitch of a bar..... usually the chain is sloppy in a bar when the nose needs replacing so it's a new bar....

 

I wouldn't say Oregon bars are soft - I've found the powermatch bars they do are very good quality and a good price.

Ive found this on previous replaceable sprocket nosed bars ive bought.

 

The bar would wear just before the nose, dunno if the nose is made of 'better' steel.

 

 

Thing is though the bar would be well and truly worn and I have never had a stihl sprocket fail(apart from the odd 020 when the bar has been well and truly pinched to death) so I think the replacement ones are a total waste of money, big bar or not.
