I think that he meant the vertical lug that is inside the slide, just behind (muzzle pointing away from you) the ejection port....not the traditional 1911 barrel lugs on top of the barrel.

I've chamfered the edges on the lugs on a barrel (just a touch to break the sharp corner) as well...and it worked for one pistol and didn't fix (didn't make it any worse) another.

All manufactures have their own specs. They also hold their parts to their own quality control. In an ideal world you'd be able to take one part and drop it into another...but such is not the case (at least in my experience) with a lot of different things in airsoft (GBBs just seem to be spectacularly bad sometimes).

My own "machining" with a hand file...can't be anywhere as precise as a factory that mass produces these things.

At any rate. Your slide is pooched. You could buy a new slide...but I'd be leary to try that chamber in it. Personally...if I had the opportunity and the option, I'd buy all the chamber, barrel and slide from the same manufacturer.
