Got A Problem With A T1 Mount Need Some Help!

[d90king]

just a heads up for anyone else who might read this.

apparently this is a common problem with the Micro. when trying to remove the factory mount for the first time, one of the screws will often get stuck/stripped

i had the exact same thing happen to my H1.

i contacted Aimpoint, they sent me a shipping label, they removed the Micro from its mount and shipped it back to me, with several extra spare screws included.

if you're not comfortable trying to fix the problem yourself, call Aimpoint right away, they will deal with the problem lickity-split.

It is definitely a pain in the ass. I wont be removing it from the 660 in the future.

I had the EXACT same problem... and here I thought I was the only one!

I ended up taking a dremel tool with a diamond bit and turning it into a slotted screw, then removed it.

Took a spare screw from my other T1 and replaced it.

An extractor would work too, but I was too impatient.

don't worry about it. from what i've heard, its only an issue the first time you try to remove the sight from the factory mount. from here on out you should be fine.

in addition, i was told a large majority of the time it happens with one screw. i think the top right one if you're looking at the bottom of the optic, but to be honest i can't remember which screw it is, i can only remember that one is far more problematic than the others.

also it will probably help if you use a set of ball-end hex wrenches instead of standard wrenches.

Invest in a good set of gunsmith screws/bits, I'm talking like 100-200+ good quality bits. Brownells and Midway sell them.

I haven't had a screw in the last year and a half that I couldn't EXACTLY match up with a bit that fit like a glove. From Hensoldts and Mausers, to Winchesters and Saiga's.
