What is the MAGPUL - MBUS 3 Sight Set Flip-Up Adjustable Polymer for AR-15 FDE?

The next evolution in the Magpul MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) line, the MBUS 3 incorporates the best features, strengths and value of the original MBUS and MBUS Pro Sights in a feature-packed back-up sight system.

Significantly reduced in size from the MBUS, it sits at just 0.44” high when folded and 1.15” at its widest point. Its aesthetics are derived from the MBUS Pro, but the MBUS 3 Front and Rear Sight is constructed of Magpul’s impact-resistant polymer, making it lightweight and extremely durable.

Featuring the same spring-loaded technology as its predecessor, they can be deployed with an ambidextrous push-button. The MBUS 3 sits at standard AR-height when deployed.

The MBUS 3 Front Sight includes tool-less elevation adjustments and a dual width enhanced front sight similar to the MBUS Pro.

  • MBUS 3 Sights available in Black, Flat Dark Earth, Stealth Gray, and OD Green.
  • Made in the USA.

ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT

  • 1.6 MOA (1.886"/100m) per click with a 14.5" sight radius
  • 1.2 MOA (1.367"/100m) per click with a 20" sight radius

The MBUS 3 Rear Sight includes a rapid-select aperture system.

  • Rapid-select rear aperture system
  • 0.44” high when folded
  • 1.15” wide at widest point
  • Standard AR-height when deployed
  • Ambidextrous push-button deployment
  • • For attachment to M1913 picatinny rail

Reviews Summary
Overall, the MBUS® 3 Flip-Up Sight Set has received mixed feedback. Many users appreciate their lightweight design and ease of installation but report difficulties with adjusting the sights and inconsistencies in fitting. While the sights are praised as solid backup options, some customers prefer the older MBUS models for better reliability and functionality.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Product Quality
60%
Reviewers have mixed feelings about the quality of the MBUS 3 sights. While some believe the sights are sturdy enough for backup use, others mention that they do not meet the quality standards of other models, particularly citing installation issues and difficulties with adjustments.
Installation Challenges
45%
A substantial number of reviewers faced installation difficulties, specifically with the tight fit on various rail systems. Some recommended using tools or modifications to make them fit, which detracted from the overall user experience.
Ease of Use
50%
Several customers noted that while the sights are generally easy to install, they had issues with front sight adjustments being too tight or malfunctioning. The rear sight, however, was praised for its improvements over previous models, leading to easier switching between apertures.
Comparison to Previous Models
55%
Many users compared the MBUS 3 to MBUS 2 and noted improvements in design and functionality, but some still favored the older versions for their reliability and ease. The overall sentiment is that while the MBUS 3 has benefits, there are concerns that affect its usability.

Magpul Back Up Sights Gen 3
I like the Gen 3 over previous models as it does not require a tool for front sight adjustment. It also has a smaller footprint but feels just as strong and durable. Nice addition for a Kel Tec Sub 2000 build that focuses on light weight and minmalist form factor.

Perfect
These will probably outlive me of old age. Is a little early to tell if they will hold zero properly but so far I have no doubts they would. Easy to install with a very low profile on all sides of the rail.
