The Magpul MBUS Rear Sight MAG248-ODG delivers reliable backup sighting capability when primary optics fail. This spring-loaded flip-up sight locks securely in both deployed and stowed positions, maintaining zero shot after shot.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic polymer sights that flex under stress, the MBUS features reinforced impact-resistant polymer construction with steel hardware at critical stress points. The dual-aperture system provides both close-range and precision shooting options in a single unit. Spring-loaded deployment ensures rapid sight acquisition under pressure, while the low-profile design clears most optic mounts when folded.
Key Features
- Dual-aperture rear sight with 0.070" and 0.200" openings for versatile shooting applications
- Spring-loaded flip-up mechanism with positive lock in both up and down positions
- Impact-resistant polymer body with stainless steel components at wear points
- Windage adjustment with audible clicks for precise zero maintenance
- Compatible with all mil-spec AR-15/M16 flattop receivers and Picatinny rails
- Olive Drab Green finish matches military and tactical color schemes
- Tool-free installation and adjustment system
Field testing demonstrates consistent zero retention through thousands of rounds and harsh environmental conditions. The sight maintains functionality in temperatures from -40°F to 140°F and survives repeated impacts that would damage lesser backup sights. Law enforcement agencies rely on MBUS sights as standard equipment, while competitive shooters appreciate the crisp sight picture and repeatable adjustments.
