I've had the same issue - I'm able to run the rear off the handguard with the big apeture only, but it's not the most ideal feeling. It worked well enough I decided to pick up a second set of KAC offsets after getting that ironed out, but I agree it's a big issues with the MUR-1A
My definition of accuracy is real-world 6" diameter 10-shot groups at 400m from anything supported for most applications - I figure I'm good enough to do that with a 3/4MOA rifle/ammunition pairing in anything that doesn't qualify as 'windy - gusty' from supported. I realize this isn't amazing for the internet, but I'm not that gifted a precision shooter, but I know I can shoot very well within some disciplines (4x Expert w/ M16, despite being seriously awful at 200 standing - as soon as I got a TA31RCO it was possibles on both Table1 rapid fires and minimum 97 Table 2/3 shoots from there) - with fantastic equipment and ideal conditions I'm sure I could do 3/4MOA, open that up two-fold and I'm at my aforementioned accuracy target.
Offset irons make sense because one can't cowitness the irons with a zoom optic or low powered variable. Not ideal for shooting with irons, but far better than the next best thing for most applications.

That's a hell of a challenge for most who say their ARs shoot .5 MOA. I'll admit that I can't with any of my best ARs- at least not consistently. I might pull a ringer target, but that would not be the norm. I can do five 3/4" MOA groups, but even then I might screw the pooch on one group.
This is typical and is recent:
My bolt guns are better.

now that is damn good shooting. My opinion if you can shoot those 5 five shot groups and average under 1 moa you are doing great. I am impressed.
I have been trying for over a year now off and on and I still haven't been able to do it. Always that flyer or your concentration goes or something happens. Fun trying though.
I just get tired of hearing about all these 1/2" and 1/4" AR's. Show me you can do it consistently. Shooting a .375 group last year doesn't cut it. Can you expect you rifle to shoot a half inch group on any given day?
bolt guns don't count. Hell a good bench rest .22 rimfire will outshoot 95% of AR's at 100 yards as long as there is no wind.

It's always fun seeing people with no idea how to shoot. That's one of the scary things about public ranges... having trouble keeping all the shots on paper at 100yd supported for example.
In my experience most rifles outshoot most people, but there are a significant number of people who can shoot (just not as many as can't).
my rifles can outshoot me.
At my last gun range I used to help the range master put together target stands. Typical 1x2 uprights 18" apart in a 2x4 base. never could understand why the shooters were always hitting those uprights. you have to be really bad to miss the bull at 100 yrds by nearly a foot.
I have a buddy who loves the old mosins. he can just about beat anyone at the range with iron sights.
then you have the guy that shows up with his combat vest with clips hanging all off it and leg holster with a $3000 ar tricked out with all the options like he was in Afganistan.
public range is almost as much fun as the boat ramp follies on a holiday weekend.
Thanks. It certainly doesn't come easy and those flyers are hard to figure out. I'm still unsure if it's the nature of these rifles or the difficulty in shooting them as my bolt guns don't exhibit these variations.
Funny you mention the .22 as I've a stock $360 CZ 452 with a cheap optic that will out shoot most of my ARs absent wind. Best bang for the buck IMO regarding precision shooting and discipline, but there's only a little carryover to the AR platform.
