Very interesting point of view!
So based on it anything on the barrel will change accuracy because of vibration?
So best solution would be this:
"The Remington 700 and the Lee Enfield rifle use up pressure at the fore end tip of the stock to dampen and control barrel vibrations."
I understand concept of "freefloting" barrel.
Thank you.

A rifle barrel when fired will flex and vibrate like a tuning fork, there are many ways to control barrel vibrations and thus accuracy. The bayonet can alter the way the barrel vibrates and effect POI and accuracy or group size.
On some rifles the barrel has steps cut in the barrel at the vibration node points to control barrel vibration and thus accuracy.

The .22 rim fire rifle below has two barrel tuners attached to the barrel to control barrel vibrations and accuracy.
Please note the one hole bug size groups fired from this highly tuned rifle.
Another rifle with an adjustable weight mounted to the end of the barrel and like a bayont will change the POI and group size.
