MAG-248: Magpul MBUS Back-Up
Sight – Rear 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.
The dual aperture MBUS Rear Sight is adjustable for
windage and fits most 1913 Picatinny rail equipped weapons, but is specifically
tailored to the AR15/M16 platform.
Made in U.S.A.
MBUS GEN2 Features

the top
