MAGPUL MBUS® - Magpul® Back-Up Sight – Rear GEN 2

I was able to sell my rear sights MBUS in black and get these MBUS in FDE.

The new MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) GEN 2 is a low-cost, color injection molded, folding back-up sight.
The dual aperture MBUS Rear Sight is adjustable for windage and fits most 1913 Picatinny rail equipped weapons, but is specifically tailored to the AR15/M16 platform.

Made in U.S.A.
Features
  • Impact resistant polymer construction provides light weight and resists operational abuse
  • Spring-loaded flip up sight easily activated from either side or by pressing the top
  • Detent and spring pressure keeps sight erect but allows for unobstructed folding under impact, etc.
  • Clamps to MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny/STANAG 4694 receiver rail and provides the same height-over-bore as standard A2 irons
  • Protective wings shield the dual flip apertures
  • Sight can still be folded with either large or small aperture in position
  • Detent knob easily and positively adjusts windage
Specifications
  • MBUS – Rear Gen 2
    • Weight, w/ hardware: 1.3 oz.
    • Height above rail, stowed: ~0.51 in.
    • Length, stowed: 2.6 in.
    • Length, deployed: 1.5 in.
NEW Features for GEN 2

MAGPUL PMAG® 30, 5.56x45 Magazine – AR15/M16

I went with MAGPUL PMAGs not only because FDE matches perfect, but for the price PMAGs can't be beat.


The PMAG is a 30-round 5.56x45 NATO (.223 Remington) AR15/M16 compatible magazine. It features an advanced impact resistant polymer construction, a pop-off Impact/Dust Cover for storage, and an easy to disassemble design with a flared floorplate for positive magazine extraction from pouches. The PMAG 30 utilizes a resilient stainless steel spring for corrosion resistance and a anti-tilt, self-lubricating follower for increased reliability.

This current revision has been updated with a new body ribbing design which allows for better compatibility with aftermarket mag couplers, a new follower which provides even smoother loading with military stripper clips, and the Impact/Dust Cover can now be snapped onto the floorplate when not in use to prevent possible loss.

Made in U.S.A.
Features
  • Impact and crush resistant polymer construction
  • Constant-curve internal geometry for smooth feeding
  • Anti-tilt, self-lubricating follower for increased reliability
  • Multi-use Impact/Dust Cover keeps dust and dirt out of the magazine during storage and protects the feedlips from potential hard impact damage during transit
  • USGI-spec stainless steel spring for corrosion resistance and field compatibility
  • Textured gripping surface and flared floorplate for positive magazine handling and easy disassembly
