what they are talking about, is free floating the barrel.

free floating is not _necessary_ for good accuracy, many firearms ove rthe years have had good accuracy even with stocks tightly fitted to the barrel...but....

the secret is you want to have either....evan, equal pressure along the full length, or you want no pressure at all from the stock on the barrel.

unevan pressure can cause bad accuracy, since the barrel might not vibrate the same for each shot. and the most consistant everything is, the better you accuracy will be, with all other things being equal that is.

accuracy is not just one thing, though somethings do tend to affect it more than others, it all depends on your particular weapon.
