Here is a link with some info on them. It appears the front sight might also have some windage adjustment. http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG526/MBUS

Here is the prior thread with release info. The front sight is NOT adjustable for windage, only the rear.

A left handed version might happen at some point, although that isn't a certainty. Making them reversible was too much of a compromise from a design standpoint, but they can be adapted for a LH version on our end if demand supports it.

Fro right now, if you want to run them backwards, they work. Instead of doing a modular/ambi design, we've opted to make them less complex and if sales justify, we'll crank out the new base parts for a dedicated LH set.

Looks like I got beat to the punch.

Since you're both here... Does the rear work over the forward assist of a modern vltor mur?

I'll pull a set and check. Not sure off the top of my head...it will be close if it does.

No dice, will work with the brass deflector only, but not the F/A assy.

Very nice that it will work with the deflector only MUR (MUR 1-S I believe), as the KAS offsets will not. Just what the Dr. ordered for a couple of my uppers.

Thanks a bunch for posting those pics. Those show exactly what I wanted to know. No guessing now.

The following is cut and pasted from Magpul page on their Front MBUS. What is different about the offset sights?

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

Pretty sure that's regarding the polymer mbus sights.

You had to release these right after I had bought a set of GG&G offset sights.

These look much better thought out than the GG&G's.
