The Magpul AR-15 MBUS Pro Backup Sight Set: A Detailed Review
If you are in the market for a reliable backup sight for your AR-15, then the MBUS Pro Backup Sight Set from Magpul is definitely worth considering. This sight set is specifically designed to fit all 1913 Picatinny rails, and features both a front and rear sight that can be easily deployed or stowed away depending on your needs. In this review, we take a closer look at what makes this sight set so great, and why it might be the perfect fit for you.
Construction and Design
The Magpul AR-15 MBUS Pro Backup Sight Set is constructed from case hardened steel with a corrosion resistant melonite finish. The rear sight is 2 inches (5cm) long and 1-7/16 inches (3.7cm) wide, and only 3/8 inches (1cm) above the rail when stowed. The front sight is 1 ½ inches (3.8cm) long and 1 ¼ inches (3.2cm) wide, and sets 7/16 inches (1.1cm) above the rail when stowed. Both sights have positive detents to keep them secured at the standard AR sight height when deployed, but are low profile when stowed.
The rear sight has a tool-free windage adjustment, and the front sight has a finger-adjustable elevation knob on the post, so no tools are required for adjustments. The narrow width of the front sight also makes it compatible with most IR aiming laser and light installations.
