MBUS REAR SIGHT AR15 ASSAULT RIFLE
It does what it is supposed to. IYKYK. This makes assault rifles heavier and slows you down.

Great Dot for great price.
As a Retired SWAT officer. I bought this Dot for the price point and put it on my optic,It has adjustable brightness, holds zero, turns on every time I pick it up. I have had it for just over a 6 month and the battery is still good. This is my daily carry and i put about 1200 rounds a month through it. Highly recommend this dot and the seller.

With a bit of common sense, you too can be satisfied
Okay, I want to talk a bit about these sights. Magpul makes good stuff, and they are innovative. I have two sets of these sights mounted to a couple of my AR15's. They are lightweight, low profile, durable, economical, and very user friendly. Just click or karate chop it, and it flips up. Push it down and it locks back down. That's it! No weird cross pin style locking mechanisms, no need to push up and lock into place. When time is of the essence, just reach up with your thumb and CLICK! It's in place faster than you can blink an eye! Good sight picture front and rear. They sit really low on the rail when not used. Installation is simple. Just push it on from the end of your AR15's picatinny rail, locate your preferred mounting spot, and put the provided screw through the sight and rail and tighten it with a screwdriver. Really, these sights are idiot-proof... or are they?Magpul should not have to put a disclaimer stating not to mount polymer sights to gas blocks. I figured it was only common sense, but after reading the interwebz and a couple of reviews from here, there are people out there who actually figured you could mount these to gas blocks, until they read the fine print... and the blamed the sights themselves. Like I said, I figured it was common sense, but then again, McDonald's was sued because a woman spilled her coffee in her lap and the cup wasn't labeled "HOT COFFEE." Go figure.Additionally, these sights are engineered to sit on top of accessory rails (rears on AR15 flat top receivers). Of course, you can mount them to other guns, but I'm speaking to the other group of people who can't get them to sight in right because they disregarded common sense and logic and actually mounted these sights to gas blocks, and then fired the gun! Most gas blocks sight below rail height. If you want a gas block mounted sight, buy one specifically designed with the extra height (and metal) in mind. Just don't go around dogging these sights because you didn't read before you installed them.As for durability, some people are saying that because they are plastic, they will break. Okay, well then how do you explain Glocks, FN's, XD's, M&P's and such? Oh I'm sure some have broken, but most plastic guns that are fighting in wars and being used for LE, are holding up just fine to the sort of abuses they are subjected to. My AR15 is my working gun. The MBUS sights installed on it are no exception. That AR rides in the back of pickup trucks, gets used in harsh desert conditions, fears no snow, goes up the rocky mountainsides with me, and generally sees an assortment of things that safe queens and bench rest guns would never dream of. The sights have never shot loose, never cracked, warped, disintegrated, or malfunctioned in any of the ways mentioned in some of the 1-3 star reviews. In fact, despite being on my AR15 for over a year, and accompanying me on just about every outing off pavement and away from the covered range, they still look new, aside from some dirt hiding in some of the small corners.They also cowitness to the lower 1/3rd of an Aimpoint Comp M3 in a Larue LT150 mount.

Go to for years, only replaced by new model
These were the gold standard of back up iron sights (BUIS) for a long while. They were recently replace with the mbus 3 from magpul. However they are still a nice reliable and dependable back up flip up sight. I used these for years and never had any issues with any of the ones i owned. Great value for the price, and would recommend these if you don't like the new model. They are nice and pretty thin so they lay flat under optics and dont stick up too much when folded down.
