    Stripped Deltapoint screws

    I was trying to remove my deltapoinopro sight from a gen 5 g19 MOS and the screw was stripped. Any ideas or should I take to a gunsmith. I really wish I had some mechanical skill.

    I threw away the Leupold torx tool, and bought T10 and T15 bits, that I can use with a Brownell’s style driver. That allows much better purchase when installing or removing the screws.

    If that doesn’t work, and I stripped one or two before getting the T10/15 bits, I paid to have a real gunsmith drill them out.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    So Leupold was great. Sent me new screws and gunsmith was able to extract. Bad news is the reason I couldn’t get tight was because the MOS screw holding the plate was snapped. Very disappointing. Hopefully Glock will help.
