It's rare that thought leaders in a particular field stick around on a forum like this for so long imparting their wisdom. Eventually it seems they get run out by the uneducated masses who just shout them down quoting internet lore and stuff they heard a buddy say who knew a guy who was deployed to Panama once. Glad to see this place didn't fall to that phenomena.
Its sad, but you can't talk quality with guys who are only interested in the bottom line. I remember talking to John Noveske one night on his deck. He commented to me that when he started out building his barrel, he did it with zero costs in mind. He said he didn't care at all about what it took or what the cost was. He added that the barrel was built to be the best to eliminate any doubt for the man going into harms way with his product. We had a lot of great talks, he was really a mans man, and a great all around guy. I miss our talks and the time we spent together, and I know that Todd K here does as well.

I'm not so sure about that... One of the last gas keys I removed that I had previously installed with the MOAKS plain (using regular Colt hex screws) was so tight that I thought the drive slots were going to round out before the screws came loose. Luckily I they came loose, but if I used Loctite on my gas key installations I think I would have been in some trouble trying to get those screws out. I believe Torx would be beneficial on removal to prevent the drive slot from rounding out, especially if you consider an installation that was done using Loctite, Ned's OCKS knurling, proper torque and staking.
I'm in agreement 3 of 3, lysander, the first being that 6-point is of less benefit on a single-use screw.
New ones in front with the 1/8" wrench. Old one in background with 9/64" wrench.
The first to ID the country of origin of the 8 rounds of SS10-9 in the background will get a free ticket to this raffle:

There is a way.
