If you follow the letter of the rules it is not legal, but most match directors would not disqualify you for a barel that is identical to the original. I think the intent is to disalow putting match-grade specialty barrels on a lever gun to make them look like nothing that John Browining ever imagined.
Here is the quote from the rules:
2. Barrels must be original or may be relined. Original barrels rebored to a larger caliber are allowed.
