Product Description:
Arrow Marked Cam Pin
4340 Heat-Treated Steel, NiB Plated and Laser Arrow marked to ensure consistent lapping patterns upon reassembly.

I've never paid attention to how I place the cam pin during re-assembly. Is this a gimic or is there something to it?

I'll be nice and say that it seems to be of theoretical value at best.

This right here....nobody, either military or civilian has ever told me to "orient" the cam pin the same each time.

If we're going to delve into the billonth of a percentage chance of whatever, wouldn't it be better to alternate it every reassembly?  That way it wears evenly and doesn't wear that side out as fast so it might be less likely to break on just one side from being thinned out.   Kind of like rotating tires.

Get out the polish and shine the damn thing; I did just for S&G's.

Seriously I did use some Flitz and a Dremel with polish wheel. If you are concerned about it Shine it up.

I just alternate the cam pin each time I reassemble and nothing has shown me I'm doing wrong in doing so.

Useless gimmick, imho.

Gimic, the massive majority of users haven't been orienting them for 5 decades without ill effect.
