Joe,

Can you please explain what you mean by that "Groove?" I have not heard 
anything about a "new" Renner center pin, and an interested in what you 
have found.

Based on what I read in your other message, this sounds like a production 
screw up in the pin making, and it seems you should contact Renner USA and 
ask about it.
