Barrels and mags rarely ever matter.
I almost never look at them unless I need something specific like spike nades or impact casing. The stats are nice but on most weapons the third and fourth column are what actually matters.

that's is just a lie , especially for pvp

I've never cared, and still performed perfectly fine. Like, obviously between two identical rolls in slot 3 and 4, I'd prefer the one with the better barrel and mags, but it's just not nearly as impactful.

Barrels and mags do make a significant difference to the guns feel on console.

I played on console up until beyond light and still rarely noticed. Like, dont get me wrong, it helps, but I don't think you're gonna throw away a roll with the exact perks you are looking for in the third and fourth column just because they dont have your preferred barrel and mag. I don't think the opposite is true though. If you get a gun with the perfect mag and barrel, but neither third nor fourth column are what you're looking for, there's a good 99% chance you are sharding that roll.
