How to confirm the fit
- Read your bar. The pitch and gauge are stamped on the guide bar near the saw body — e.g.
3/8" LP .050". - Count drive links. Lay the old chain flat and count the teeth that ride inside the bar groove. This number must match exactly; length in inches is not enough.
- Match all three. Pitch, gauge and drive-link count all have to agree with a row in the table above. Two of three is not a fit.

How do I know which gauge my 385 XP chain is?
Check the number stamped on your guide bar near the tail, or measure the drive-link thickness with calipers. Common gauges for the 385 XP are .058", .050" / .058", .050" / .058" / .063", .063".
Can I put a longer bar on my Husqvarna 385 XP?
Oregon lists 13", 15", 16", 17", 18", 20", 22", 24", 26", 28", 30", 36", 42" bars for the 385 XP. Stay within this range — a longer bar than the engine is rated for cuts slowly and accelerates wear.
