Magpul MBUS Pro Front Sight

Magpul Industries recently launched a hooded version of its top-of-the-line auxiliary Magpul MBUS Pro Front Sight. While the original version of Magpul’s MBUS Pro Front Sight Is reminiscent of the classic AR-15 triangular front sight, with its two protective “ears” and a four-position square post, the new Magpul MBUS Pro Front Sight Hooded has a front sight hood that harkens back to some HK or Kalashnikov style front sights.

In addition to having a different aesthetic than the traditional AR-15 pattern iron sight profile, the hooded shape of Magpul’s new MBUS Pro variant also plays well with diopter-style rear sights, such as any of Magpul’s metal or polymer rear sights. The new MBUS Pro Front Sight Hooded sits at the same level as Magpul’s other MBUS products. This front sight can mount on any MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny or STANAG 4694 rail. This also includes receiver-height gas blocks if applicable.

Magpul MBUS Pro Front Sight Hooded Features:

  • When paired with MBUS Pro Sight – Rear sight, the Pro Hooded front sight provides a diopter-style sight picture, drawing the eye to a natural focal point
  • Reduces glare and reflection, giving shooters a clear sight picture
  • Includes two adjustable sight post widths:
    • .06-inch Standard width front post for maximum visibility
    • .04-inch Match width front post for increased precision
  • Toolless elevation adjustment
  • Detents secure the sight and elevation knob when stowed or deployed, so it stays in position during hard use
  • Standard AR sight height when deployed and .432 inch when stowed
  • All-steel construction with a QPQ nitride finish for extreme durability

The Magpul MBUS Pro Front Sight Hooded is manufactured in the United States of America, with retail price of $94.95. To learn more about this new auxiliary front sight or Magpul’s other gear and accessory offerings, visit magpul.com.
