No Springfield has a "match grade" barrel and bushing.

If you want a match grade lockup you need to hand fit a bushing.

They certainly list them in the specs. Call SA & ask them.

I don't think it does, but it's still more accurate than me

According to SA's specs, the Loaded "Target" has a match grade barrel and bushing.

Not all loaded targets are advertised with a match grade barrel and bushing. The one I have is far from "Match" grade, bushing fit was horrible.

The OP is asking about the Loaded Target - PI9132LP.  It specifically states on their freaking website:

5" Stainless Steel Match Grade Barrel and Bushing

Inccorect.  My RO bushing and barrel fit one could not ask for better.

Match grade components mean squat if they are poorly fit.   When it comes to Springfield, the GI, Milspec and Loaded guns can have a wild variation in quality of fit.   The RO, TRP, Trophy Match, and the MC Operator are supposed to have more attention paid to this area.

It's just marketing hype.  "match" in guns means about as much as "sport" or "racing" in cars.  

The cheapest ARs come with "match" grade barrels.

You sure he isn't asking about the Loaded Black Stainless Target? He didn't give a model number and it is also a "Loaded Target" without an advertised match barrel. As you can see from above, others connect the loaded black stainless target as being a loaded target even though it lacks the match barrel.
