Guys:
I bet it is the barrel and no amount of inspection or tinkering will fix it or even find the problem. Unmarked barrel when he bought it means a Shaw or another hunting grade barrel. Some shoot just fine, others don't. That's why when asked, most people on the forum will say that the single most important part a person needs to buy is a high end barrel. Then it needs to be installed properly. You can get away with a economy upper or lower, service grade trigger, standard GI bolt and carrier group, but you won't get by with a poor barrel.
If I had done everything that was done with that AR and it still did not shoot well, I would buy a high end barrel and put it on. If a person wants to save a hundred bucks and go cheap on the barrel, he is taking a chance that need not be taken.
