Magpul MBUS pro offsets are now out...
Actually I do believe that the Pros are mimed, though the argument can be debated back and forth. Proper mimed parts, for something like this is not an issue in my opinion if everything is in spec and QC. Also, if I am recalling correctly the pros are supposed to be more durable because since they do not lock into position and fold under impact they are not as likely to bend under impact, which is what the Troys will do under impact. The Pros look to be lower profile though and that does appeal to me though. The Magpuls also look like they are going to come to market a bit cheaper. That is going to count for a good bit as well.

I just want offsets that fold, are high quality, and work with a MUR with FA without sticking it near the barrel nut. Is that impossible?

I have no problem with mim at all. MagPul knows what they are doing. The only downside is the weight. Almost 4 ounces. I am hoping the Troy sights weigh less. The fact that the Troy sights lock up is a plus to me. I'll accept the risk of damage by a hard impact over the chance they will get folded by minor contact that wouldn't phase a locked sight. The sights that don't lock up only fold in one direction and will be just as likely damaged by impact applied from any direction other than from the front.
Anybody have an AAR with these yet? I'm holding off on any for my SPR, until I hear some reports from M4C!

Mim done right isn't a bad thing, persay. And while some parts I don't like Mimed parts here I am not sure I would be overly concerned unless there are major manufacturing issues, and since I've run a number of metal magpul parts over the years without issue I don't see them suddenly going to hell.
As far as weight I think the standard pros are about a half ounce heavier than standard Troys. I would imagine that the same difference would be present here. Take that for what it is, a guess and my opinion rather minimal. As far as impact and durability, I doubt we are going to settle argument here since I don't think anyone has gotten them in hand, but there are pros and cons to each.
