I don't think this is going to take much deduction on this issue - change the slide stop and the sideplate assembly and you should be good to go. When you are buying the new pieces, just be sure that they are for a 4506 and not a 4506-1, -2 or -3 just in case there were other minor changes that I am not smart enough to know about.
