I have an Aimpoint 5000..... with a loose brightness adjustment......
What size hex key fits?! 1.5 mm is too small and a 2 is too big.... 5/64th is too large and a 1/16 it too small.....
Is it something that only comes with the scope?

Must be a Whitworth size.

If your too loose allen wrenches are used, take and cut off about an 1/8" and see if it fits better.

If that does not work, then take one that is too large and file all six sides the same amount until it fits snug.

Allen wrenches are cheap and I do it all the time to get a perfect fit for what I am working on.

Nothing worse than stripping out the head on an allen screw and trying to extract it and finding a new one to refit.
