cam pin, wrong???

[Hotwrench]

I was just reassembling my BCG and noticed something odd.  Please see attached picture.   Compared to the only other cam pin I have (AR15) the cam pin hole is 90 degrees out.  Is this normal for a PA10 BCG or have I encountered another PSA point of excellent Quality?  I have only fired 20 rounds so maybe I just got lucky.

Completely normal for a 308AR.

Insert, but do not twist 90 degrees... install FP ... etc

Beat me to it, all is normal for a 308 AR, carry on.

Weird for it to be that different.  Are all of them that way and WHY??

Maybe that is why the pin has a bevel on the head?

Lol.... welcome to the wacky world of the non-milspec 308ar.... there is a practical reason though... it works and the charging handle channel would have to be wider then needed... as well as the gas key
