I changed barrels to a different caliber on my hunting rifle and had it done at the same time so I can't say if the blueprinting was valuable but I suspect switching the factory plastic for a quality stock did more for accuracy than any other tweak.

Yes, it does make a OEM gun a lot better as everything is square and or trued up, something that doesn't happen on factory production built guns. If you're replacing a factory barrel, you might as well have the Smith true the action while it's apart as it's worth the few extra dollars.
