Well I got a PM from MWE1969, He had come up with a variant Compact, Long Slide and Auto Mag are trying to determine the age. He was able to disassemble using the "No Hole Guiderod" method. What was interesting is his guide rod and recoil spring system are different. Take particular Note of the Muzzel end of the guide rod. This was what he was originally questioning.
