Dunno what the reason would be to do that.

Yeah, they specifically made TM aftermarket outer barrels that were one piece with the chamber supposedly for accuracy but any benefit from that is debatable since the BB is supposed to leave the barrel before the tilting action occurs.
Its increasingly difficult to source a Western Arms R-Type chamber made of any metal whatsoever, so I figured that if there was nothing touching it, nothing would break. I'm just a paranoid running an aluminum slide with a plastic chamber tis all.
I got the idea from StrikeFreedomo of this forum, who did this to his TM and posted the mod somewhere in the giant 1911/Hi-Capa thread.
However, perhaps there was too much grease on my sears because the problem fixed itself and the gun shoots semi-only once again haha
