MBUS’s are prob the most popular flip up sites in the past decade. They are plenty reliable and rugged as well.

I have these sights, they work well. Theres tons of options out there, chances are you’ll be paying for it tho.

I like them and have on some rifles, but have found they do not fit all rails. I suppose tolerance differences… but no matter what I tried I could not get them to slide on my rail.
@pwammann1 Where did you get them?
I wish I can remember, they appeared to be genuine Magpul. Fairly certain it was a well known supplier and not some random ebay seller.
New ones can be tight. Fakes are known to not fit. I wouldnt even buy them off amazon.

They can sometimes require some kinetic encouragement from a mallet. I don’t think I’ve ever had a set that didn’t need at least a lil tap to get started.

Why get MBUS 2s when MBUS 3s finally came out after almost 3 years of waiting?

I haven’t used them on a firearm yet so I can’t speak to their quality. I would be shocked if they weren’t better then the 2s though…Hoping to have some in hand before shot show and will be able to speak more on them then.
They’re supposed to be a direct improvement. slimmer, with improved adjustment capabilities downported from the MBUS Pros. Same price, too.

Got a knock off set from scamazon. They did drop the seller and returned my $ though.
Dont buy from ebay or amazon.

I don’t from ebay but scamazon I’ve learned to do my due diligence and steer clear of “too good to be true”
I’m gonna have to check them out! Thanks for the heads up.

but what front sight would one use with that?
Magpul has an Amazon store. Can’t see how this would be allowed if not ‘official’ MagPul
Because you still have the chance to get a fake. People buy the real thing, open it, repackage with a fake and return it.
