    Has anybody gotten their hands on the MBUS® Pro - Magpul® Back-Up Sight – Rear and had a chance to really test it and use/abuse it yet?

    (Last I heard they were coming out anytime. I haven't kept up with them since).

    To the best of my knowledge they haven't been released yet. That's not to say there aren't some in the wild for T&E though.

    Just got an email from Magpul saying these are available. It looks like a pretty cool design, I will admit.

    I purchased a Hahn Precision BUIS a while back. Low profile and simple. No problems as yet.

    I've been using Hahns on several carbines for a few years now and like them as much now as I did when I first bought them. Great sights!

    FWIW I sent an email to Centurion a few days ago asking when the diopter sights will become available again. I received a response today that says they no longer sell them.

    What I'm currently running are Gen 2 MBUS. They seem to work well enough. In order to get sighted in properly I had to shift the rear sight quite a bit to the left, but I understand that just happens on some guns. My OCD doesn't like it being off center, but I'll just have to live with it. I don't know why, but a lot of the time when I'm sighting through my irons it looks like the left side of the rear aperture is flat on the left side instead of round. When I hold the rifle up and look through the rear sight with good light shining through I can see it's perfectly round, so I don't know what's causing me to see it like that. It doesn't seem to affect my shooting but it's irritating. I'm debating trying something different in the near future, but I haven't decided if I want to stay with folders or go fixed. If I stay with folders I'll try the new Magpuls. If I go fixed then it'll probably be a DD A1.5 set.

    One thing that annoyed me about the DD A1.5 that caused me to buy the Magpul Pro rear BUIS is that it is NOT same-plane aperture.

    I did replace the aperture with one from Blackhawk!, but I just don't feel good about it no-matter how "pretty" it looks. It was the only same-plane A2 style that had aperture openings near mil-spec size.

    On an SBR, you may get well over 5 MOA vertical shift using a regular A2 aperture.

    I bought the MBUS Pro because (I don't have it yet, so this is just what I read...):

    -Dual aperture arrangement with same-plane.
    -Spring/detent keeps it up, and apertures in-place...if it gets a hard slam, it may fold (although Magpul states it passed a 6-axis drop est on a loaded out M4 without folding...), but won't break. I think of it like the mirrors on a car.
    -Adjustment wheel is not easily turned, and is not "in the way" like A2 style wheels.
    -Does not have a useless elevation adjustment.
    -Same weight as the DD.
    -I feel like if what I read above is correct, it can be run "BUIS up" 100% of the time if you want to with zero detriment points for that usage.
