Update:
I shot my second match a couple of weeks ago and noticed accuracy issues that I couldn’t attribute to missed wind calls.
Went to the range yesterday with the goal of ruling out loads and anything else obvious. Whatever was effecting accuracy at the match became abysmal at the range.
As it turns out the hand guard was installed incorrectly and was putting pressure on the gas tube. It was also slightly loose. After re-installing it the right way I ran into another problem where the gas key no longer aligned with the gas tube and the bolt wouldn’t go into battery.
After some more fiddling I finally got it in working order. Here’s the before (L) and after (R)

Hard to believe but the proof is on the paper.
I also took @MCMXI ’s advice and installed a Magpul PRS gen 3 stock. Big difference. This configuration is rock solid
