MAG-247: Magpul MBUS Back-Up
Sight – Front AR15 MBUS Sight GEN 2
Magpul's newly designed MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) GEN 2 lays flatter than the
older GEN 1. Same low-cost, color injection molded, folding back-up sight.
NOTE: Cannot be mounted to a railed gas block due
to excess heat issues.
Front MBUS must be mounted to a railed fore end on the same plane as the
receiver rail. Because of this the sight is also not compatible with MOE Hand
Guards.
Made in U.S.A.
