Magpuls are probably the best polymer sights out there. For what they are, they work great. I prefer metal BUIS, but I have used the magpul ones on range guns and hunting guns for several years. Just make sure you buy the real ones, not their PTS airsoft version. You see those on ebay and other auction sights all the time advertized as real ones. Truthfully though, if you have time to save up for real metal ones, I would. There are several brands like YHM that make decent ones for only a bit more cash.

The magpuls are nice and lightweight, but I once saw a guy accidentally get his sling wrapped around the front sight when he wasn't looking, and when he brought his rifle up to fire, the sling ripped the front sight off the rifle.
They're far more expensive, but I prefer Troys.Comment

I have 2 sets of MBUS and a set of Aluminium ones. I like the MBUS a lot as it does not add too much weight and is a lot more sleek when folded down. They work very well and affordable.*********************
WTS:
1. PW 800+ Hydro Multispeed (just the hydraulic unit that also works with Spolar press)
2. PW 800B converted to 800C (12 gauge) with lots of accessories and upgrades
3. Hornady 366 (12 gauge)

Something that may enlighten all the "AMG MUST BE METAL TO LAAAAAAAAAST" people
The first BUIS dropped was the Diamondhead. At first, damage appeared cosmetic only; however, the apertures could no longer be rotated, windage could not be adjusted, and there was a definite cant to the BUIS. Point of impact shifted approximately 16 MOA. We contacted Diamondhead with this result. They replied that a newer version was available which was more durable. We offered to test the new model but production issues meant they could not ship one to us.
Next came the Troy sight. Cosmetic damage was apparent, but the sight could still be operated normally. Point of impact shift was approximately 3 MOA.
The last set of BUIS was the Magpul MBUS. Damage was purely cosmetic and the sight remained fully functional. Point of impact shift was less than 1 MOA. Unlike the other sighting devices, a second drop was performed. Results did not change, and the sight remained functional.

As I said, the MBUS is a nice lightweight sight that deploys quickly, but it doesn't hold up well to getting torqued.
The student in question was using a VTAC sling, with the front swivel mounted at the front of the left side rail. When the rifle was hanging from the sling, the sling slid from the left side of the front sight to the right. When he brought the rifle up, the sling wanted to move back to the left side of the rifle, and it took the sight with it.
If you're building a rifle with the intention of mostly using optics and keeping both sights folded, then go with the MBUS. If you want to keep your front sight deployed all the time, I'd choose something a bit more durable.Comment

There is a reason these are called back up sights. They are not intended to be used as normal daily use sights.
