Have you added the optic since you first zeroed?

Maybe sighting through the 2 layers of glass might be throwing it off some.

yhm 2 pice non freefloat rail with and avg vert grip and a surefire g2 nitron....

the rails are extreamly tight between barrel nut and the front pice that

the grips fit into i was thinking that that pressure might have affected the barrel..

my orginal zero was with the stock handguards??????

With the info given so far, I would think that it's your new handguards.

Not surprising to me that your zero shifted with the addition of something new on your barrel.
