Helpful Positive Review MBUS 3 improvements are worth the extra $ by Henry D in NC, Verified Owner, October 31, 2023
The MBUS 3 sight housings are slightly smaller and lower profile than the gen 2 while being much easier to adjust (no tool or makeshift implement is needed for the front sight, and the rear sight's small to large aperture selection is made easier wit...

Helpful Positive Review Very nice sight by Mike, July 1, 2023
I like this sight and the fact that it is a bit narrower then the older version. Tool-less elevation adjustments is also great as well. I’m using it with a unity fast mount that has a rear peep built in. I don’t know if it is intentional or not but i...

Helpful Positive Review good upgrade by marty, Verified Owner, November 5, 2022
It’s perfect. Super slim and light. Feels sturdy. Not hard to press the area to make it flip up. It’s a good blend of the pros and regular Mbus sights. Magpul did a really good job with this product.

Most Recent Reviews Did’t fit on the picatinney rails on three different ARs that I own. by Michael Olson, Verified Owner, September 4, 2025
DO NOT RECOMMEND! I looked-on line, followed all suggestions. Finally, used a file, got the front sight mounted. Decided to not mess with rear sight. Not happy with these sights at all.

Product Info for Magpul Industries MBUS 3 Front Rifle Sight

The next evolution in the Magpul Industries MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) line, the MBUS 3 Front Rifle Sight incorporates the best features, strengths and value of our original MBUS and MBUS Pro AR 15 Parts in a feature-packed back-up sight system.image

Significantly reduced in size from the MBUS, the Magpul Industries MBUS 3 Front Rifle Sight sits at just 0.44in high when folded and 1.15in at its widest point. Its aesthetics are derived from the MBUS Pro, but the MBUS 3 Front Rifle Sight is constructed of our 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 Rifle Sight includes tool-less elevation adjustments and a dual width enhanced front sight similar to the MBUS Pro.

NOTE: Cannot be mounted to a railed gas block due to excess heat issues. Front MBUS must be mounted to a railed forend on the same plane as the receiver rail. Because of this the sight is also not compatible with MOE Hand Guards.
