It sure is Vince !
I usually join the spring, have the join where the centre hub meets the shoe so it holds it together.
Put spring into 2 shoes and slide onto hub, u might need a small flat screwdriver to lightly manoeuvre it onto 3rd shoe, watch fingers as the spring snaps the 3rd shoe in, remove clutch from saw to fit it
The most famous gun accident was JFK, shot accidentally by his own secret service, so nobody is completely safe, the basic rule unless your being shot at by a hostile enemy is not to have one up the spout at anytime until your a couple of seconds from purposely shooting at a recognised target, if you don't shoot you unlock, unload & clear the breech ASAP, safety catches are for the army.Another person (11 yr old) accidentally shot dead over the weekend in NZ. Fith hunting death this year.
Can anything be done about it or will accidents always happen?

Despite the following, people are still being shot and killed. So, is there any solution to this or simply people being the imperfect beings that we all are from time to time, thus we have to accept the accidental shootings and deaths previously noted are par for the course, the cost of the freedom/right to own and use guns?

The Firearms Safety Code: Seven Basic Rules of Safe Firearms Handling
1. TREAT EVERY FIREARM AS LOADED
Check every firearm yourself.
Pass or accept only an open or unloaded firearm.
2. ALWAYS POINT FIREARMS IN A SAFE DIRECTION
Loaded or unloaded, always point the muzzle in a safe direction.
3. LOAD A FIREARM ONLY WHEN READY TO FIRE
Load only the magazine after you reach your shooting area.
Load the chamber only when ready to shoot.
Completely unload before leaving the shooting area.
4. IDENTIFY YOUR TARGET BEYOND ALL DOUBT
Movement, colour, sound and shape can all deceive you.
Assume colour, shape, sound, and shape to be human until proven otherwise.
5. CHECK YOUR FIRING ZONE
THINK! What may happen if you miss your target? What might you hit between you and the target or beyond?
Do not fire know others are in your firing zone.
6. STORE FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION SAFELY
When not in use, lock away the bolt, firearm and ammunition separately.
Never leave firearms in a vehicle that is unattended.
7. AVOID ALCOHOL AND DRUGS WHEN HANDLING FIREARMS
Good judgement is the key to safe use of firearms.
Many many moons ago I took a hunter safety course and one of the big things they made sure we knew was unloading firearms when crossing fencelines and putting them in a safe spot while doing so.thats about the same as ours we have one more about crossing fences
never cross a fence with your firearm place on the ground on the other side and cross the fence away from your firearm so if you trip you will not land on it.
