    If the stock screw has been over tightened even the above screw driver won’t work. Will likely bend or break. I have several of the above mentioned bits and have sent many back to brownells. They will warranty them. Best thing I have found believe it or not is the harbor freight bits. They will require some file time to make them fit. It is important to cover the entire width and depth of the screw. I have even had to tap the end of screw driver with brass hammer to loosen them up. Good luck. If you have one that is really stubborn it will be worth it to take to gun smith, if the screw is buggered up to much it will be costly. And if your stock is nice it won’t be worth the scratch if it slips out.

    They should work. If my memory serves me correctly the bit is a 210. Just make sure it fits the stock screw. All the way to bottom of slot and the whole width of slot. I really haven’t found much of a use for the other bits that come in the set on an a5. Do yourself a favor and order an extra one that fits the stock screw. Let us know how it comes out.
