The SP AA does not have rifling. It has spiral porting on the 2nd, larger half. Spiral porting does not impart spin. The Armson does, you can hear the ball wizzing overhead when someone is shooting one.
The general consensis is, spining a paintball does not help accuracy. In my experience too. I used an Armson and an AA for many years and the accuracy was similar. Tom Kaye of AGD did tests using a spinning barrel - you can go over to automags.org for the results.
