For $10, adding an extra 4 rounds to my primary magazine for my XD-9 was a no-brainer, as was the very simple swap from the original base plate. Absolutely no issues; 1 minute of install, and an extra 4 rounds in the hoppa! AWESOME! I can't comment on build quality over time, but it seems robust enough.

I purchased two of these Leapers UTG Pro pic rail "shorties" for my .308 MLOK handguard to fit my bipod and light to and they are great! Well made with no burrs/sharp edges, the coating appears to be lasting after a few times at the range, and they locked in super-snug. No issues with this product, and the price was right.

So I bought this for the quick release feature, but there is nothing quick, at least at this point, with its release. The wing function works, and locks it in well, but it is a real challenge to get those wings to release... which defeats the purpose of a quick release feature! Regardless, it is still easier/faster than hex keys but I have to use a screwdriver to undo it. So: solid build, looks like it will last a long time, but not as quick as I had expected.

I got the MBUS front and back flip up sights Gen 2 as part of an AR 10 build and I am pleased with the product overall. They are lightweight, though aluminum might be about the same weight, and appear very well made. I also like the flip up feature as most of the time I will keep these in the laid down position... they are just a back up for if the SHTF and my scope goes out. My only cons with the product is that they are almost all plastic which gives me concern about ruggedness, though I am not crawling through the woods with my rifle, and they are a bit bulky. The cost for the product, when considering it is mostly molded plastic, is a bit high too, but I can't believe how much the full metal sights cost...there is IMHO no reason that a single front or back sight made out of aluminum should cost over 100 dollars, so this Magpul MBUS becomes a better deal unless you are using your standard sights as the primary targeting mechanism.
