If you’re running iron sights on your AR, Magpul’s latest drop demands your attention. The MBUS Pro Hooded Front Sight isn’t your average flip-up. It brings in a diopter-style front view that cuts glare and lets you pick up the target faster. Pair it with the MBUS Pro Rear and you’ve got a full diopter setup, but it’s also compatible with other standard AR rear sights. No weird height mismatch.
Two Posts, One Sight — Pick Your Role
With its dual-width post (choose .040″ match for precision or .060″ standard for quick acquisition), you can shift between pinpoint accuracy and aggressive target acquisition depending on the situation. And yes — the elevation knob is toolless, so you can dial your impacts without rummaging for tools in the dirt.

Compact, Rugged, Built for Real Use
Stowed, this sight only hogs 1.71″ of rail. When deployed, it sits at standard AR sight height (0.432″ above the rail), so it integrates cleanly with your existing sighting system. Its all-steel build and corrosion-resistant QPQ finish keep it tough in the elements — no surprise there, this is full Magpul DNA.
