A free floated barrel should be more accurate than the same barrel non-free floated. However, it will depend on your shooting if you gain anything from the free floated barrel. For example, if you are shooting milspec ammo, like xm193 and have a red dot sight that is a 3 MOA dot, shooting at 50 to 100 yards, you aren't going to notice the difference. If you are shooting match grade or handloads with a high power optic at 100 yards or more, you may notice increased accuracy with a free floated barrel.

As far as your mil spec receiver comment, do you mean mil spec dimensions? I think you would have to look pretty hard to find one that was not built to milspec dimensions anymore.
