My bolt jumped out of the slide mortise(don't know how it could but did) and now the locking lug on the bolt is keeping the slide from going forward enough to remove the slide spring guide. Is there any way other than cutting the guide to remove it?

I also have the short 5 rnd clip and 7 (4 still wrapped) 15 rnd clips.

I'm assuming that you removed the action from the stock?
There should be enough spring in the op rod that you can manually turn the op rod. Check the position of the front lugs on the op rod, as they should be in a cut that runs on either side of the receiver.

EDIT: It's not the rear part of the op rod that's the problem, it's the front part. Look at the front part, it looks like a flat, U-shaped weight. On the top, inner sides of the U-shaped part you will see a small lug on either side; THAT should be where the problem is. Grab hold of the U-shaped part & rotate it back & forth; once that is back in the tracks, the handle part of the op rod will move.
