The only published criteria is for a safe trigger pull. Personally, I do not care as much for the poundage requirement as I do for the crispness of the trigger pull. I'll get used to a 4 1/2 pound pull that is crisp. Also, you can disassemble and polish the inner parts to reduce friction and get a quicker firing pin strike.
The two-stage trigger is in itself a safety feature. You pull until you feel the increased resistance, then settle in for a final sight and squeeze.
When you rebarrel, you can adjust the length of the chamber and the leade more precisely than an ordnance man in the field. You can get a minimum factory chamber to aid in accuracy.
This has been discussed over the years, as a way to gain an advantage, but there is no way to tell. When you have a Springfield Arsenal receiver with a Smith-Corona barrel, it is rebarreled. If in the field at an ordnance depot during wartime or the local gunsmith during peacetime cannot be told.
