6.5 Grendel with Lilja barrel won't shoot straight

Hello Hide, I don’t post online much but I’m stumped. Been shooting and reloading for my 6.5 Grendel AR for about 6 years. Im a machinist and have been hobby gunsmithing for 30 years but far from an expert. Recently replaced the Alexander Arms 18” barrel with a Lilja 16”. Started out with some OK groups 1 to 1.5 MOA on average. Seemed to like the Hornady SST and Shooters World Match Rifle powder so bought a bunch and started to refine a load. Every time I went to the range, the performance got worse. Thought it might be the scope so changed from the Athlon Helos 2-12 I was using to an NF ATACR 4-16 in quality mounts. No dice. Stopped using a suppressor to remove variables but no help. Performance went from bad to worse. I clean regularly with boretech and nylon brush followed by patches. Baby the crown and always use rod guide. I’ve done what I know of to give it best chance for accuracy. Barrel is bedded in loctite 609, receiver is lapped, nut is torqued to 50 ft lbs. Gas tube is tweaked to not touch receiver, AGB tuned to just lock open on last round. Everything to do with optics is torqued to spec and loctited. Everything on the gun is premium but 300 rounds in an it’s shooting 4MOA with the same loads the were 1 MOA at first. Nearly all groups have a mostly vertical dispersion with an angle high left and low right. Pretty sure it’s not me, I can shoot great groups with my other guns. Just bought a bore scope and it looks pretty good to me with the exception of the gas port which clearly has some buildup on it. Don’t know what normal looks like so hope someone can say if that looks problematic. Also, when I received the barrel the extension looked like it was produced in 1980’s china. I polished it up as best I could. I’ll add a pic.

What am I missing? Appreciate any suggestions. I’m loathe to ditch a new $450 barrel but the gun is worthless as is.
