Product Description
Magpul MBUS Pro Hooded Front Sight AR-15 Black
The Magpul MBUS Pro Hooded Front Sight is the steel-construction evolution of the original polymer MBUS — built from QPQ-finished steel for the durability and precision that demanding operational use requires in a flip-up backup front sight that lives on Picatinny rail alongside optics that may fail in the field. The hooded design encircles the front sight post with a steel protection band that prevents accidental post damage and eliminates the side light interference that open-top front sights experience in certain lighting conditions, producing a cleaner sight picture when co-witnessing with a red dot or transitioning to iron sights in an emergency. The sight ships with both a 0.06-inch standard-width post and a 0.04-inch precision match-width post for competitive applications, and the QPQ corrosion-resistant finish provides durability in all-weather carry conditions. Installation is tool-free on any Picatinny rail section.

The MBUS (Magpul Back-Up Sight) Pro Sight Front, Hooded is an all-steel, back up front sight. The hooded front sight arm provides a profile that aids in faster sight acquisition while minimizing snagging. It's also just as durable as Magpul's other Pro sights thanks to a corrosion-resistant QPQ finish that delivers maximum functionality and strength with minimum bulk. When the Hooded Pro Front Sight is paired with the dual aperture, windage-adjustable MBUS Pro Sight Rear, it can act as a diopter style sight (aperture within an aperture) depending on its placement in relation to the rear sight. Used with the MBUS Pro Sight - Rear, the toolless, elevation-adjustable MBUS Pro Sight set excels in all applications, including when mounted on rail-height gas blocks. Detents keep the Hooded Sight at standard AR sight-height when deployed, and it remains out of the way when it's stowed (measuring 1.71 from the sight base's leading edge to the top of the hood). Two front-post widths (.040" match or standard .060") are available to fit shooters' precision needs (the narrower width front is also compatible with most IR aiming laser and light installations for the professional user).
