Secondly, the spaces between the lugs are not the same dimension as the nova chamber's lugs so it cannot sit against the top of the slide properly so it cannot sit completely flush against the top of the slide like its supposed to. You can clearly see that major fitting has to be done in order for the chamber to fit. I don't believe the lugs on my slide are broken. Perhaps worn, but not completely useless. The nova barrel lugs are able to mate with the slide's lugs which makes the slide lock properly upon return after the blowback action.

But the natural state of a spring loaded barrel is to push BACKWARDS, and thus, the slide would only push the chamber only as far as the slide goes - it won't push the chamber further forward. In other words, it would always register with the forward lug that's responsible for returning the chamber to battery.
Try it first, and let me know how it goes.
