I bought these for a BX2380...

My MS260 is over 20 years old and still starts cold on the second pull (as it should). Never had an issue with the saw over the years but I did get a new bar and rim sprocket last year just to freshen it up. I only cut a couple of cords a year, but at this point, the saw owes me nothing.
