MAGPUL - MBUS Pro® Sight - Rear - Black - AUTHENTIC
The MBUS Pro (Magpul Back-Up Sight) is a highly functional and durable sighting solution made entirely of steel that is resistant to corrosion. It is designed to be compact yet strong, and is priced affordably despite its high quality.
The rear of the sight features dual aperture and is windage adjustable, while the front sight can be adjusted for elevation without the need for any tools. These features make it suitable for use with all 1913 Picatinny rail mounting applications, including rail-height gas blocks.
When deployed, the MBUS Pro Front and Rear sights are held at a standard AR sight height, thanks to the positive detents that keep them in place. When they are stowed, they are so low that they are hardly noticeable.
The narrow width front sight is compatible with most IR aiming laser and light installations, making it ideal for professional use. Additionally, it is made in the USA.

MAGPUL MBUS PRO
When it comes to firearm accessories, Magpul Industries is one of the most respected names in the industry. Known for producing durable, reliable, and high-performance components, Magpul’s MBUS Pro® Sights have become the go-to choice for many firearm enthusiasts, law enforcement personnel, and military users. Designed as a backup iron sight (BUIS) for AR-15 and other compatible platforms, the MBUS Pro® series is renowned for its robust construction, precision, and ease of use. The MAGPUL MBUS Pro® Sight is a set of backup iron sights (BUIS) made from high-quality materials designed to be used as secondary or primary aiming devices on firearms. "MBUS" stands for Magpul Backup Sights, and the "Pro" designation refers to the premium, all-metal construction and enhanced features compared to the standard polymer MBUS sights.
The MBUS Pro® sights are built with precision in mind and are typically mounted on Picatinny or 1913 rail systems, allowing for easy integration on AR-15s, other rifles, and even tactical shotguns. These sights are often used as backup options in case your primary optic fails, but they are also capable of being used as primary iron sights for those who prefer simplicity. The MAGPUL MBUS Pro® Sights offer several advantages over standard iron sights and even other backup iron sights on the market. One of the most significant advantages of the MBUS Pro® sights is their durability. Constructed from case-hardened steel with a Melonite QPQ finish, these sights are designed to withstand the toughest conditions. Whether you’re dealing with extreme weather, rough handling, or prolonged exposure to the elements, the MBUS Pro® will hold up.
This level of durability makes them ideal for law enforcement, military, and civilian users who demand reliability in their equipment. The steel construction ensures that the sights won’t bend, crack, or break even under heavy use.
The low-profile design of the MBUS Pro® sights is another key benefit, especially for users who run optics such as red dot sights or scopes. When folded down, the sights sit flush with the rail, minimizing interference with optics or other accessories mounted on the firearm.
The folding mechanism is easy to use and allows the shooter to quickly deploy or stow the sights as needed. This feature is especially useful for those who rely on optics as their primary sighting system but want the peace of mind that comes with having a reliable backup option.
Unlike many other iron sights that require tools for adjustment, the MBUS Pro® sights can be adjusted for both elevation (front sight) and windage (rear sight) without the need for any tools. This allows for quick and easy adjustments in the field, saving time and ensuring your aim is always on point.
Whether you’re zeroing your rifle or making small adjustments during a shooting session, the ability to fine-tune your sights without carrying additional tools is a huge advantage.
The MBUS Pro® sights are designed for precision shooting. The dual aperture rear sight allows shooters to switch between a small aperture for precision shots and a larger aperture for quick target acquisition. This versatility makes the MBUS Pro® suitable for both short-range and long-range engagements.
The ability to adjust for elevation and windage ensures that your sights are dialed in, providing consistent accuracy across a variety of shooting distances. For shooters who prioritize accuracy, these sights deliver the performance needed for both tactical and competitive shooting scenarios.
The MBUS Pro® sights are compatible with any firearm equipped with a Picatinny or 1913 rail system, making them suitable for a wide range of platforms beyond the AR-15. Whether you’re mounting them on a rifle, shotgun, or even a submachine gun, the MBUS Pro® can be easily integrated into your setup.
This versatility makes them a great option for shooters who own multiple firearms and want a reliable set of backup sights that can be used across different platforms.
The Melonite QPQ finish applied to the MBUS Pro® sights not only gives them a sleek black appearance but also provides excellent corrosion resistance. This ensures that the sights maintain their performance and aesthetic quality even after exposure to harsh environmental conditions such as rain, humidity, or saltwater environments.
This makes the MBUS Pro® sights particularly well-suited for those who operate in marine environments or other wet conditions, where rust and corrosion could otherwise degrade the performance of lesser-quality iron sights.
While many shooters rely on optics as their primary sighting system, the MBUS Pro® provides peace of mind as a backup option. Optics can fail due to battery depletion, damage, or environmental factors, and having a reliable set of iron sights ensures that you’re never left without a means to aim accurately.
The MBUS Pro® sights can be quickly deployed in the event of an optic failure, providing an immediate alternative for aiming and target acquisition. This backup capability is invaluable in tactical, self-defense, or emergency situations.
