Husqvarna on their “small" "native” saws uses the A/K095 mount (petrol 130 - 4/560). While in the Husqvarna (formerly Electrolux) group, you can find different mounts, also found on some Husqvarna-branded machines. A041 is sometimes called the (small) Poulan (Husqvarna AB brand) mount and is, of course, super popular. In the old days, at least the small Stihl mount (3005) also did not have a separate oiling hole.

@@elpolaco7654 Thanks for the info, I knew I would stuff up with the smaller husky mounts due to limited experience with them

@@SawChainTheories I guess you were right after all. It turns out that according to Husqvarna (North America probably) document titled 'Husqvarna chainsaw, guide bar and saw chain reference guide 2021', these smallest petrol saws, namely 120 Mk. II, 130, 135 Mk. II, use the A041 mount. Of course, Oregon's search engine (and the catalogue) shows only A095 bars as compatible with these small saws. Husqvarna calls A041 'mini', A/K095 'small' and D009 'large'. To further complicate matters Husqvarna pole saws use the A318 (McCulloch, ~6mm) mount, which they also call 'mini'. As usual, everything has to be checked personally on actual equipment, because the documents are full of errors. Unfortunately, my small Husqvarna saw is “non-native” and uses a regular A041 guide bar. And other small ones use K095 (.325).

It didn't give me a break, so I was able to determine that the 130 and 135 Mk. II saws sold here are equipped, as I always thought, with A095 bars. But 120 Mk. II uses A041 mount. I also determined on Husqvarna's international websites that their A041 mounted bars have different part numbers than the A095 guides, and as expected, however, do not have an additional oiling hole. They are available on their Australian site, for example. An internet search finds very few places where these bars are found. The A095 ones are incomparably more popular. On their Australian/European websites there's 'Husqvarna bars & chains guide' search engine. And for 120 Mk. II the compatible bars found are A095. I give up... That doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but it's also possible that the type of mount for models with the same trade name, such as Husqvarna 135, varies from market to market.
