    Magpul BUS question

    Are these sights any good? I would appreciate any input from people who have used them currently or in the past.

      I have one. It's not horrible but if I had it to do over, I would opt for a metal from the get go. Mine hasn't broken, shoots fine, easy to adjust but I know I will have to replace it at some point so I am kicking myself for going cheap out of the gate.

        Depends how much you can afford to spend. It's what I have but I would rather have gotten better if I could afford it now /shrug. Came with it when I bought it.

          I bought a Troy set, returned it. I have a Plum Crazy plastic lower - matched better with the plastic sights. I'm a Glock owner - plastic is fine. The Magpul MBUS is pretty sturdy by the way.

          My front sight is on backorder in pic.

              Mine work fine. Im not sure about breaking often as mine are in the down position about 99% of the time and have not broken.

              That said, if I were shooting iron sights the majority of the time I would go with some all steel ones.

                I liked mine. But i was not clearing houses with them and diving in trenches dodging bullets.

                  We have a set on a rental AR pistol that gets handled/shot a lot. No issues so far.

                  I would not want to take them into battle, but for a range gun, they are great.

                      mine work great! they are back ups anyways. really they dont get used that often but i have had no issues what-so-ever. They are easy to work with, plastic (not really a bad thing) and for the set are around $100 opposed to $200. If you are going into Iraq, spend the extra money, if you are shooting paper and steel targets you will be just fine. They are a great product for a great price

                            I had them on my AR work very well, but had to upgrade to metal sights they were to bulky for me.
