Order of Fit: slide, frame, barrel & bushing

Thanks for the terminology lesson. I still have to stop and go slow when reading through things to make sure I'm visualizing it right :o

As for the peening, it is the leading edge of the barrel locking lugs, as pictured in Kuhnhausen Fig 64 on pg 50.

I did camfer the edges a bit when I fit the barrel.
 
I was in such a hurry to get to work yesterday that I forgot to address the recoil spring guide.

As Jim says, a chamfer of the back inside radius should address this. However, between the battering there, the cases crawing up your arm, and the case bulges, I think you've got three symptoms calling for a heavier recoil spring to slow everything down a little bit.
