I ran small cheap saws for years all with 3/8lp bar and chains.
Every time I used a 16 inch bar/chain I threw the chain at some point while cutting, they're too long and flimsy, they literally bend and toss the chain if your not super careful.
I switched to 14 inch bars and rarely ever toss a chain now, I'd buy a new 14 inch large nose bar/chain for the saw.
