The Magpul MBUS 3 flip-up front sight for AR-15/AR-10, M16, and M4 platforms brings lightweight backup iron sight capability to your rifle without the bulk. Built from impact-resistant polymer, this sight combines the refined design of Magpul's Pro line with the legendary durability and value that made the original MBUS a standard in the AR world. Whether you're running optics as your primary system or building a rifle that needs a reliable mechanical fallback, the MBUS 3 front sight delivers the dependability you expect from Magpul in a package that won't slow you down.

At just 0.44 inches when folded, the MBUS 3 sits flush against your receiver rail and won't interfere with your sight picture, mounted optics, or carry. The ambidextrous push-button deployment gets the sight up and ready in a fraction of a second—spring-loaded reliability means no fumbling or guessing whether it's fully extended. Tool-less elevation adjustments let you fine-tune zero without adding to your field kit, and the dual-width front sight post gives you flexibility for different lighting conditions and target distances.

Clamps securely to any MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail found on modern AR platforms. When deployed, it sits at standard AR-height, cowitness-ready with most optic systems. Made in the USA, the MBUS 3 is the no-frills backup sight for serious shooters who don't accept compromise between function and simplicity.
