What happens when your optic or riflescope is not working. It’s not good. Magpul provides a backup sight that has just been redesigned and you need to have on your weapon for just that occasion. Magpul used the word evolution to describe the new Magpul MBUS3 Rear Sight, but it's more like a progression of technical expertise and strong design that continues to create an unfair advantage for the brand. The newly redesigned Magpul MBUS 3 Rear Sight provides the following updated feature set. Reduction in size as it sits at 0.55” when folded and its 1.38” wide at its widest point and weighs in at a mere 30 grams(about 1.05 ounces). Lighter is always better for any end-user. It incorporates an ambidextrous push-button deployment and rapid select rear aperture system and maintains a tool-less elevation adjustment. Now it provides the same windage adjustment as the MBUS Pro with 0.5 MOA (0.606”/100m) per click with a 14.5" sight radius and 0.4 MOA (0.439”/100 m) per click with a 20" sight radius. Maybe the best feature set of all is the cost, Magpul always provides quality product at a price you can afford. And as we all expect made of impact-resistant polymer providing a strong durable product, which is Magpul’s legacy to the gun industry. Again, reducing the footprint and weight while helping the end user is always at the heart of Magpul’s design intention, giving us what we need. Magpul part# MAG1167 comes in colors Black, Flat Dark Earth and Olive Drab Green and can be found here at BayouTactical.com
