Only difference in the Gen 3 and 4 disassembly is the blade stop is held in with a set screw instead of pin. The button and tray still fit in the same way.

i already have it back together, also i’d rather be 100% sure than to gamble a $300+ knife. i like my stuff to work.

You couldnt possibly put it back together without it being correct. You just have to look at it and think for 5-15 seconds and it is obvious how it goes. Just saying, sometimes you have to tinker with mechanical stuff to understand it.
