mbus sights

[jworm1420]

so im goin to b putting these on my ar as backup to my new eotech. i have seen a set of these on ebay for 25$. now i know they make some of these for airsoft. but the seller does not designate them for airsoft, and the pics on ebay show them on a real AR style rifle, couple pics actually. are these knock ofss or what???? does anyone know more about these that can let me know if there knockoffs?? thanks everyone.

they make PTS sights i believe which people use for airsoft and what not. they are probably the knock offs if they are going for that cheap. pay for the real things

 

[jworm1420]

i plan on goin to bradis next week for there big sale to pick up a set. i was just curious when i saw them on ebay. i know there are acog and eotech cheap clones on ther just wasnt sure about these. but i gues i should have known they were knockoffs when they said they were being shipped out of hong kong...lol thanks

 

[turnerdye1]

yea hong kong and china throw up flags for me when i look at stuff on ebay lol. bradis has the real deal so hit them up and support local business

 

[jworm1420]

absolutely!!!!!!!

Hard telling without the link. My guess is it's some Chi-com knock off turd, or their airsoft line. There is a ton of fake Magpul gear out there, so it might be safe to buy from a reputable vendor.

Don't buy brand names from China, and beware of US dealers selling brand name cheap.

If its to good to be true then it probably isn't .

To be honest, I would stray away from the MBUS.
I had a set and just didn't want to trust plastic as the sighting system of my rifle..

Did you have any problem with the sights or should we just avoid it because you didn't want to trust it?

As a backup sight, I like the Magpul MBUS. I probably won't be as hard on my rifle as jeremy or a couple other guys would be but if it ends up breaking, I know to go a different direction on my next build and the ones after that. If it doesn't break, $57 from Magpul isn't terrible.

I acted as a go between for a contractor friend of mine and Magpul while he was deployed. His broke twice. He is a "tough on gear" type

Use the money you saved on the EOTech and get some Yankee Hill or Troy flip-up sights!

 

[jworm1420]

i dnt really mind if mbus sights r plastic, as im not goin to b that hard on my rifle. just want some iron sights in case my eotech is functioning at the time. dead batteries n such

i have the MBUS on my ARs and they work fine. Of course they don't get much use since I have an ACOG on one and and an Aimpoint on the other.

The MBUS set I ran on a rifle busted rather quickly, but Magpul was good about replacing them. To be fair, if it can break, it will with me running the gun. I personally only run something beefier like Troy, Samson, Matech, etc......
