The gap between the rear of the chamber hood and the slide opening is normal for a Nova to SD barrel fits. And as an usual step for me to fit a barrel to a slide, I would chamfer both the lugs on slide and chamber anyway. For me the better "fit" of a manually fitted barrel to slide, the heavier, more scratch resistent stainless steel barrel is better than Nova aluminum one anyway.....
And I find aluminum barrel like Nova's(especially bare aluminum ones like Nova's) develop stiction through use.....
