This item is the rear sight of a second pair of like Magpul front & rear flip up sights, all installed on our AR15s & used as backup sights. Although it's inexpensive & constructed of plastic, it is rugged, compact, light in weight, and made in the U.S.A. Mounting it to the 1913 Picatinny rail is simple and I've found it to stay put; haven't found it to loose due to vibration.

This is a great affordable BUS for a tight budget, easy to adjust, install, and use! The Magpul MBUS is very durable and can take a beating, they operate smoothly and are very low profile when not in use.

Great sights, worth buying, used on multiple types of rifles and seem to stand up to the more expensive ones

Easy to install. Works perfectly with the fixed A2 front sight on my upper. Folds out of the way when not needed. Great ordering experience from Optics Planet.
