I've read that the AR platform is susceptible to sling tension no matter how stiff the barrel is. Everybody in highpower competition uses free-float tubes so the sling does not pull on the barrel. OTOH highpower competition used to be dominated by M1 and M14/M1A rifles, and they don't have free float ability but they do have one-piece wood stocks.
