Nice upgrade to original, magpul quality - Magpul Industries MBUS 3 Rear Rifle Sight

I got this for a Patrol Rifle that a Retired LEO Family Member Received from his Department 30+ years ago. It has since had the Carry Handle removed and an Optic installed but still carries the A2 Front Sight/ Gas Block. I’ve purchased several Rifles with the old Magpul Rear Sight and much prefer this new design. The way the aperture flips as one piece is much more refined, rugged and cleaner to look through than the old “Fill the 0-2 Hole” design. I also like the larger windage adjustment as the Original could be difficult to adjust and felt less tactile. Yes, it’s a poly backup sight, but it’s much improved and costs much less than other “High End” Metal Rear Sights that achieve the same goal.
One Con is that the Windage Knob does stick out Further than the Original and can catch your hand if it’s too close to the Charging Handle. I simply moved it up Two Slots on the Pic Rail to gain the needed clearance.
Overall, I’m very pleased with it and was happy to provide an improvement on a Rifle that will most likely become a Family heirloom, even if it doesn’t end up with me.
