I have never taken apart my makarov 9mm, if I take it apart is there any chance I can accidentally damage something as I am trying to slide it back together?

Of course there is, but....

My Bulgarian Mak is the first gun I ever completely disassembled and reassembled. Very, very easy to take apart.....

Somewhat less easy to reassemble!

Just follow the instructions. The fact that there are not that many parts makes it rather easy to put back together. Here's a tale of my experience.
