Thanks guys for the suggestions. I have tried to re-assemble the guide assembly (as I was able to find all the parts), but I spent about 3 hrs. trying, and the outer guide spring is uncontrollable (there must be a tool to hold the assembly) to hold and try and insert the pin that locks it together. Then again I'd rather have a guide that won't explode in my face again, like I said before damn thing would have taken my eye out if I hadn't had my eye glasses on. Again Thanks, I'll still call S&W to let them know, you can't fix it if no-one tells about it.
