I would think the forging process would beat any residual stresses out of the barrel blank. Either that or the blanks are stress relieved prior to forging.
Doesn't psa also sell chf ss barrels?

Maybe a typo but im sure fn makes all chf barrels for psa

It's all about getting uniform and symmetrical grain structure orientation in the part. This can be done by subjecting the part to a precise time and temperature controlled heat up and cool down cycle. In the case of hammer forged barrels I suspect the brute force of the hammer forge coupled with the heat generated by the hammer forging process is able to achieve the ideal grain structure for a stress free barrel.
