Product Details: The next evolution in our MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) line, the MBUS 3 incorporates the best features, strengths and value of our original MBUS and MBUS Pro Sights in a feature-packed back-up sight system.
Significantly reduced in size from the MBUS, it sits at just 0.47” high when folded, 1.38” at its widest point, and weighs a scant 25 grams with hardware. Its aesthetics are derived from the MBUS Pro, but the MBUS 3 Front Sight is constructed of our impact-resistant polymer, making it lightweight and extremely durable. Featuring the same spring-loaded technology as its predecessor, they can be deployed with an ambidextrous push-button.
The MBUS 3 Front Sight sits at standard AR-height when deployed and includes tool-less elevation adjustment of a dual width enhanced front post similar to the MBUS Pro.
MBUS 3 Sights will be available in Black, Flat Dark Earth, and OD Green.
Technical Specifications:
- Position: Front
- Height above rail, stowed: ~0.47 in.
- Platform: AR10, AR15, M4, M16, M110, SR25
- Weight, with hardware: 25 g
- Elevation Adjustment: ~1 MOA (1.131”/100 m) per click with a 14.5" sight radius; ~0.7 MOA (0.820”/100 m) per click with a 20” sight radius.
Note: Cannot be mounted to a railed gas block due to excess heat issues. Front MBUS must be mounted to a railed forend on the same plane as the receiver rail. Because of this, the sight is not compatible with MOE Hand Guards.
