Magpul mbus front and rear flip-up sights

1.0 out of 5 stars Missing rear sight & front sight was a FAKE
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2022

The package came in and was missing the rear sight. I called Amazon and the issue was resolved right away. However, after reviewing the front sight, I noticed that I was sent a generic sight (fake magpul) It didn’t even have any of the Magpul markings or logo you can see in the pictures. They imitated the packaging down to the T however failed one coming to the product

I thought these to be a bit more expensive than they should be, until I received them and installed them. Although plastic and not metal, these are very high quality and I'm completely satisfied with my purchase, and after receiving them would now prefer the plastic to metal. The only minor difficulty was that the front sight's fit for installation was very snug for my Picatinny rail and took some patience to position properly prior to tightening it, but both sights look and operate great.

These sights are polymer not metal but are very durable. The only issue I have with them was how tight they are in the railing. I figured it would just slide on but when I tried to install, I felt like I was wrestling the rifle. I did eventually get them on and they work just fine.

Really tight fit, had to really force the rear and unse non marring tool to tap on the front. All is good!

1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware - FAKE Product
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2020

I purchased this front sight to match the rear I already have. What arrived was a cheap plastic knockoff and not even a good one. It came in original Magpul packaging. I don't know if this is a fluke or what, just my experience.

New MCX Patrol 16” which also gets a Romeo 8h red dot but wanted backup sights and Magpul had the product. Not a giant fan of the installation which is quite tight. If I was installing another set it would go easier now understanding the process. For me once the screw was removed I had to come to an understanding of the force required to slide it in place. Once I understood that the rear sight was easier. When I fired the rifle for the first time I wanted to use and adjust the pop up sights first and then the red dot. Full disclosure I had adjusted the front sight UP based on a cheap bore laser. Shouldn’t have done that. My first 3 rounds off of a bench at 25 yards were less than an inch in a group but 2” high and 1/2” left. Easy to adjust for that. Once I had the backup sights adjusted which took 12 rounds total I co witnessed the red dot. The red dot was almost spot on and it only took 3 groups of 3 to get acceptable for first day. Over time the dot will undoubtedly get a few very small adjustments for the accuracy the rifle is capable of. 68 grain Hornady match. Personally I am impressed with the accuracy of the backup Magpul sights. I prefer red dot for the ‘both eyes open’ situational awareness but it’s good to have decent back up sights. I was also happy that the backup sights co-witnessed with the Romeo 8h like they were made for each other. By the way my new Sig Sauer MCX Patrol came new with a Magpul folding stock. Apparently Sig likes Magpul just fine. Magpul has become a trusted name and my extra magazines were Magpul, big fan of the window.

So I was lucky to help my step dad get into an ar for a really great price a s&w m&p sport 2 for a few bills but there was no rear sight and comes stock with an A2 front fight which is incorporated with the gas block etc, etc I discovered they come with a Magpul mbus flip up rear sight no problem got it and wow what a great sight my first impression was it was a metal alloy of some sort but it is composite much better built than many composite items I've experienced I really thought it was metal. The mount for pickitiny rails isn't like others I've experienced where you unscrew the hardware and one side of the mount slides out for you to put it over the tail instead I had to remove the hardware and also remove my charger handle and bcg then slide the sight over the end and down the rail to where I want it to rest put the hardware back in tightened it down and went to sight in on a target it set perfect at install holds zero past the three hundred rounds pops put thru it. Honestly I was blown away by the whole sight from the materials and the quality in design to the satisfying click when engaging and disengaging this sight. You need an awesome gift and definitely calmed my nerves about ordering online at least from this company. Will definitely suggest to anybody in the future that I see might need upgrades and will purchase another rear sight and a couple full sets was looking at the mbus pro possibly give those a shot considering the reviews many starting that they are a step above these and I find that almost impossible. All in all get some see what you think for me these are perfect not unlike any of the other Magpul products that I have picked up thank you

2.0 out of 5 stars Missing parts

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on March 6, 2020

First of all... the delivery took over a month... what is acceptable due to the corona crisis.
But what I dont understand is, when I buy an iron sight for 60,00€, that the mounting screw to fix it on the picatinny rail is missing! The package looked original and unopened, but the screw and counter washer just weren't there!
Its no so much of a deal cause already got a screw and a washer outa my stash and mounted it... but for this price I expect all parts included- also because it shows on amazon with the mounting screw and also in the instructions!
It would have been nice to have all parts of this sight originally from MAGPUL as thats what I paid for!

What does mbus stand for magpul?

The MBUS (Magpul® Back-Up Sight) is a low-cost, color injection molded, folding back-up sight. The dual aperture MBUS Rear Sight is adjustable for windage and fits most 1913 Picatinny rail equipped weapons, but is specifically tailored to the AR15 / M16 platform.

What is the purpose of flip up sights?

They're made out of iron or some other solid material and work by having a rear and front sight that line up together. The idea is that by lining up both sights, you can position your firearm in such a way that you can accurately aim at your target.

What is mbus in guns?

If weight or budget is a concern for your rifle or carbine, the tough polymer Magpul Back-Up Sights (MBUS) are the answer. Both are spring-loaded for rapid deployment from either side of the sight body. They match A2 heights over the bore as well, meaning very little or no head position accommodation is needed.
