Yep, you're 100% correct, my initial spotting punch was closer to the center than I was hoping for....But, it was my first round with the Starrett so will try to do better at getting it onto the castle nut 1/3 of the end plate on the next attempt.

Dang-nation, if Ned thinks its GTG then color me impressed with myself!

I've yet to run into any gas keys that are too tough for the MOAKSII Ned. But I buy mainly Colt spare parts, so I don't see a ton of variablity in the one's I either fix or replace. (Usually because they have those shitty screws and I replace them all with OCKS.)
