Your Trusted Rear Back-Up Sight When The Batteries Fail

The Magpul MBUS Rear AR 15 Back-Up Sight Gen 2 is a low-profile folding rear back-up sight perfect for use alternatively in the event that your batteries fail. Made specifically tailored for the AR15/M16 platform, the MBUS Rear Sight is spring-loaded for fast engagement and can be easily clamped into any Mil-Spec 1913 Picatinny rail system.

The sight automatically flips up with just a small amount of pressure on the release tabs and has an adjustable elevation in conjunction with red dot sights to use as 1/3 co-witness. The polymer construction is lightweight but sturdy enough to resists impacts and operational abuse during tactical situations.

Dual Aperture With Detent Knob To Easily Adjust Windage

The Magpul MBUS Rear AR 15 Back-Up Sight Gen 2 features a dual aperture and a detent knob to easily adjust windage. Made from impact-resistant polymer, it’s durable enough to withstand even the most demanding situations. The detent and spring pressure keeps the sight stable and erect but also allows for unobstructed folding under the impact.

The MBUS Rear Sight is compatible with most MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny/STANAG 4694 receiver rails and provides the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons. It is very reliable and can be a great rear back-up sight for any tactical or emergency situation.

Real review

This company is elite. My order came in faster than I thought. Mbus sights were snug but will fit with the tap of a hammer.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Cory. We work hard to meet expectations like yours, we're glad we hit the mark for you. Cheers!
