4.0 Rating Decent Sight - 1/13/2013Magpul MBUS Gen 2 Back Up Front Sight AR15 M16 Black4.0000
Reviewer: Dan
I'm using this on a 9mm carbine with 16.5 in of rail space on top. If I don't want the sights hanging over the end of the rail, it places the sight radius at 13.5 inches. In my opinion, this is too close together for a sight post that wide (standard width). I purchased "2-KNSSIGHTPAK" KNS Precision Front Sight Post pack and am using the smallest square dot post. I wasn't being careful enough when removing the sight and the spring shot out. I had to use the spring from a cigarette lighter to replace it. Pen springs were too wide. My fault, not this item's. Even though my sight posts were the same size, I had to screw mine down nearly all the way to get it on target. I like to "sunrise" my point of impact. This could be the platform I have it mounted on though. I've used an AR with them and I don't recall the front post being that way. The front sight also doesn't screw down as far as it does on a standard AR front sight. It does come with a free front sight tool. The product seems robust enough, even though I can tell it's prone to dings, dents, and scratches.

Good bang for you buck. Got the rear sights to go along with it and can't complain at all.
5.0 Rating Great FS - 8/1/2012Magpul MBUS Gen 2 Back Up Front Sight AR15 M16 Black5.0000
Reviewer: ZA_Survivalist
Good front sight. Went with this front sight because it was the lightest I could find. Gets the job done. Price is high, but with all the sights nowadays, this is common.
5.0 Rating Nice MBUS - 2/16/2012Magpul MBUS Gen 2 Back Up Front Sight AR15 M16 Black5.0000

4.0 Rating Not to bad... - 1/17/2012Magpul MBUS Gen 2 Back Up Front Sight AR15 M16 Black4.0000
Reviewer: Defensive Shooter
I installed these on my Bushmaster Carbon 15 as backup sights for my EoTech 512 sighting system. Even when you dis-engage these sights, i.e. (Down position) they hold there Zero pretty well once deployed (i.e. pop-up), as a backup. Not 100% perfect, but acceptable enough for defensive shooting scenarios < 25 yards.
