Quoted: Everyone notice Browning hi power barrels? They've been 2 piece for 40 + yrs. Accuracy comes relies more on lock up on the bottom lugs, hood, and top lugs. Sure match barrels will be more accurate because they are made to titghter tolerances. If you want match grade accuracy then buy a match grade build up. All Springfields I have owned and have worked on have all been shooters. Don't fret about it... Unless of course you want to.

I think there is a bit of misunderstanding between you and BobCole.
I agree with both of you but I don't know (only the two of you know) by what criteria you are judging accuracy. More specifically, what size groups and at what distance.
I had no problems with my two piece barrel and it shot what I considered to be pretty good groups.
Now, having said that I wanted to see how much more accuracy I can get with a match barrel so I had the BarSto installed by my gunsmith Alan Tanaka (shameless plug
).
I think both of you are correct but are judging by different criteria.
Both manufacturing tolerances
AND fit make a difference. Think about how
poorly a "Match" barrel would shoot if it were
poorly fitted. It would probably be worse than the factory two piece barrel,
right?
