Great video. I got these for my SW MP 12. I didn't know about changing the rear sight to the larger aperture until I saw your video. Much appreciated!
Can’t wait for the range video. Hope you make a video on how you zero in the rifle.
Just got some, they're a good improvement over the gen2. They sit quite a bit lower and are also narrower.
Very precise and informative. Thanks
Thank you.
Man I wish these came standard on my gun without me having to buy them separately.
they do on some of the more expensive guns
Just like cars. They get you on everything, man. Just ordered some for my sig m400
If you got flip up sights on a budget priced rifle it certainly wouldn't be magpul sights so you'd still have to purchase sights anyway unless you want garbage sights in my opinion magpul has the only sights that are worth the money and are superbly dependable which is why most rifles doesn't have them installed from the factory they know that you'll need them and you'll purchase the product you love and putting them on before hand is a massive waste of money and if they bought quality sights you'd have to pay more for them than if you purchased your own set to begin with
Same I just got my set in the mail worth it tho I like them
Sure looks nice.
Nice! I’m using Kriss USA metal folding sights bought on Primary Arms. They are adjustable without tools and affordable
Have the MBUS Pro's which are hard to deploy. Not impossible, but if I ever needed BUIS I'm expecting to not have time. This is the perfect balance of sleek and deployable, gonna grab a pair
Thanks for the closeup. Your pointing out the metal is more expensive - they are WWAAYYY more expensive. I bought a M&P10 308 and they have that rail on the front gas block. This PRO version has priced themselves out of my range. I put my money on a nice red/green dot and would put a scope on it before bowing to their extortion.
Your rear sight is wrong. When folded down it should match the smooth Contour above the charging handle. The aperture should be flush with the end of the receiver. This is why Magpul shaped them this way
Thank you.
i just got the MBUS3 Rear sight on my Ruger 556...it looks almost the exact same as the ruger one that came with it...only reason i changed was because my buddy was firing it and didnt notice that the bolt holding it to the rail fell out and got lost in the dirt...60 dollar mistake
Really wish you could install the anchor screw from either side of the sight. Had to remove my wml & pressure pad because you can only install from right to left.
Why can't you mount the front sight on the pic rail on the gas block? Will it melt it or what?
My front sight will not adjust maybe it’s just super hard out of the box
Do ya notice that are are lower 1/3 co witness when looking through a red dot site !
So should you zero these before the optic? Or does it not matter which gets zeroed first? I was going to bore sight them in like I did with an optic. Or should it just line up with the optic that is already zeroed?
If its a cowitness sight I'd just line it up with them.
What handguard is that?
How is your take on them now months after reviewing them? I am building my first AR and am looking at getting a set because I found a good deal
My take. They're worth it. I spent 90 at local shop. So if you get a set for cheaper than that you're winning
The elevation dial on my front sight is extremely stiff. It won't even budge.
I had to buy a new front sight because i broke the first one because of how stiff it is. Def not happy about that.
That's what I thought...but you pull the "dial" up and then turn to lower or raise post...figured it out eventually, spring loaded.
Front sight post looks wider than my Magpul Pro sights.
From what I read, if you have Magpul's 'enhanced' front post, you have the same option, to spin the post for wide view or narrow.
@@charlesbeall2589 looking at my sights I think you are correct
You can rotate the front sight post 90deg to have half the front sight post width.
@@zackfreeman8025AND, you can spin the front site post for narrow or wide!😄🙊
I’m curious what did they actually change so if you could get the prior generation would it be better to save some money and get those or is it worth spending whatever the additional money is to get these? Also are these as durable as the prior generation?
Stronger than GEN2
Gen 2 front sight adjustment required a tool, new Gen 3 is toolless just like the pro.
and they're slimmer when in the down position on the rifle
Does the front pin site have trijcon paint?
Thank you for your posting. Just to confirm, once zeroed, do they lock into place so that I don't have to re-zero everything that I use the rifle?
Yes as long as they're tight
Ill never buy another magpul sight. Bought the mbus 3 rear sight for my mil spec version of the psa sabre and its so tight that I cannot slide it on to the rail. Idk if I was unlucky and got a defect but it absolutely will not go on. First time buying a magpul sight and it has completely soured me to ever buying magpul again. Probably going to buy a Troy metal sight and be done with it. Not worth the headache just so it can be a "convenient" plastic sight....yeah I'm still angry about it haha
Tight might be a feature, not a bug. EagleRun23 has a video using a hammer to slide tight sights on.
You were not unlucky. Something with the PSA upppers and magpul buis dont gel. Its a bitch.
Had the same issue getting the rear one on to my Sabre as well. I put a cloth over the sight and placed the sight over the desired picatinny slot and banged it in with a rubber mallet. Did the trick. I did slightly damage the right side of the polymer teeth during my attempts to force it on some of the plastic chipped away. So be aware of that. I probably would get the steel ones that the side comes off on if I could do it again. But they are on, functional and not going anywhere.
@@listerfiend4577 lil bit of oil worked perfectly for me. No hammer needed.
@@irishdixie77 well let me tell you I wish I thought of that.
These would not slide onto my XCR rail no matter how hard I tried. I actually broke the rear one and didn't bother for the front
Yeah I just got a set for my rifle and I'm having the same issues.
Contact Magpul for replacement?
Anyone know how "similar" the M-BUS 3 front post is to the Pro's front post? We'd like to replace the front post with tritium but not if it's a different animal than the Pro sight post.
Slightly different.
