The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) Front is a polymer, color injection molded folding back-up sight adjustable for elevation. It fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed handguards but is specifically tailored to the AR15/M16 platform, and provides the same height over bore as standard A2 sights. The spring-loaded sight flips up from either side or by pressing the top release.
Features
- Spring-Loaded Flip-Up: Deploys from either side or via the top release
- Protected Post: Protective wings shield the spring-locking A2 front sight post
- A2 Height: Same height over bore as standard A2 sights
- Elevation Adjustment: 1.6 MOA (1.886″/100m) per click with a 14.5″ sight radius; 1.2 MOA (1.367″/100m) per click with a 20.0″ sight radius
- Note: Cannot be mounted to a railed gas block due to heat. Must be mounted on a railed fore end on the same plane as the receiver rail, so it is not compatible with MOE Hand Guards.
