Depending the clarinet (and bear with me, my information may be a little old, but I think it's still done this way), the barrel may have been reamed at the same time while connected to the upper joint. This would mean that the factory barrel and upper joint were reamed together, and so THAT combination should provide the smoothest transition trying to match the bore.
But hey, if it doesn't tune well, try another barrel.
Take a look at about 2:40. You'll see the tech grab an upper joint with the barrel attached, and then ream out the combo together.
