MS 380/381/382 continue series 1119 and share core 1119-prefix parts with the 038 Magnum. Magnum and Magnum II records are best identified by model tag, engine series and displacement; port count or other external hardware details alone do not prove Magnum II status or manufacturing origin.

Drive-link counts come from STIHL's saw-chain catalog. Bar searches include mount 3003 / D025; still confirm the mount stamp, pitch, gauge and drive-link count on your installed bar before ordering.

Files, oil & sharpening

Suggested match: Oregon 72/73/75 EXL. Confirm the drive-link count for your exact bar length before ordering. These are equivalent aftermarket (Oregon) chains, not genuine STIHL chain — STIHL sells its own chain through its dealer network, and we're not affiliated with STIHL. New to fitment? See the bar-mount identification guide and chain & cutter guide.
