Does anybody know the size and type of chain being attached to the Sterling MJ 600. It seems to be shorter links than the best chain sold at MTP, Inc. Is this cheap foreign chain?

Good quality #2 straight link machine chain on the last ones I saw. Nice chain


When I was 45 I thought I was bulletproof.......I was wrong. Official field tester of Federal Premium 3 1/2" magnum copper plated turkey loads.

#2 twist link or #2 strait link on older ones. The last ones I had bought had a heavier #3 strait link, yes it is a little shorter link than MBs, but it is still good strong chain.
Glen Jr. said he is back to using #2 strait link as he has found a good source for high quality #2 chain.

I broke a couple chains on my old sterlings...But was my fault. I snapped the chain, trying to loosen the stake, wrong thing to do. Never had a critter break one!
