Its how you put it together also, have had a dozen ba barrels move thru me or friends builds. I always lap, shim (if needed) and bed my barrel, dont torque the muzzle device , polish the chamber, bolt lugs, bed the has block and tube, and more.
I currently got a 16 ba hanson grendel barrel, the gas port was on the small side for a 16/mid length , .069 to now .075 and functions all kinds so far, havent had time with remodeling and kids projects to get out and shoot.
But a ba 16 middy 556 I have , shoots under moa with good ammo and I do my part and shoots my 55gr plinker loads at 1.5 (55 gr extreme of Hornady fmj with either Tac or h335 under it
1.5 out of yours isnt bad, if you did t do any of the above then you cant expect the most potential out of it
