Description

The Magpul MBUS Front Sight MAG247-BLK provides reliable backup sighting capability when optics fail or batteries die. This low-profile folding sight deploys instantly and locks securely in position, ensuring shooters maintain target acquisition capability in critical situations.

What Makes This Different

Unlike fixed iron sights that interfere with optic mounting, the MBUS folds completely flat when not needed. The spring-loaded deployment mechanism activates with a simple push, while the positive locking system prevents accidental folding during use. Impact-resistant polymer construction weighs significantly less than steel alternatives while maintaining zero retention through thousands of rounds.

Key Features

Spring-loaded flip-up mechanism deploys instantly under pressure
Positive locking system prevents accidental closure during firing
Low-profile design clears most optic configurations when folded
Fits standard Picatinny rail systems without modification
Impact-resistant polymer construction reduces overall rifle weight
Protective wings shield front sight post from damage
Tool-free windage and elevation adjustments

Field testing demonstrates consistent zero retention across temperature extremes and heavy use cycles. The sight maintains accuracy through rapid deployment scenarios, making it suitable for competition shooting, tactical applications, and hunting situations where primary optics may fail. Weather-resistant materials and sealed adjustment mechanisms function reliably in rain, sand, and extreme temperatures.
