I seem to recall that if adjusting the front sight could not get your rifle zeroed within 3 MOA of zero on the rear sight, the rifle was rejected. Check bent barrel or maybe your stock is bearing sideways against your barrel?

UPDATE: After sending the rifle back to CMP they replaced what was a new barrel with another new barrel. They also replaced the gas cylinder. When I received it back the accuracy was improved but still not where it should be and I now had a single shot rifle. It would extract and ejeck the fired case but did not cycle the bolt far enough back to feed another round. I had the gas cylinder checked and it was "washed out". Borrowed one from a friend and my rifle worked good. Emailed CMP with this info and they sent me another gas cylinder. I installed it last night and went to the range today. All is good. Rifle cycles like it should and rifle is now very accurate with both front and rear sights centered.
Edit: Only one click of right windage was required to zero at 100 yards.
