Windsor I think made the original replacable bar tip and I believe it's this three rivet model .They made bars for just about every make of saw at one time and especially McCulloch .
This 32" bar was given to me and was odd indeed as it is a 50 thou groove bar but had a .404 nose on it ,10 series mount .I assume it was a PNW bar because that size was never used in these parts .
Not to worry 17 bucks for a new nose and back in business with a 3/8" nose and 105 links of Oregon 72 round chisel skip chain .They get about 150 for a NOS Mac bar like this on flea bay .
Nothing to changing a nose .Drill out the three rivets with a 5/32" drill ,punch out the rivets .Install the new nose ,pound the rivets flat with a hammer .No need to actually peen because they are counter sunk .Took about twice as long to do as for me to type it .
Sorry about the blurring pics the lens had some stuff on it .
