Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the difference between MBUS Gen 2 and MBUS Pro?
A: MBUS Gen 2 sights are made of polymer and are lighter, while MBUS Pro sights are all steel, slimmer, and more durable — ideal for duty or hard use.

Q: Can I use MBUS with a red dot or scope?
A: Yes. MBUS sights are designed to co-witness with most AR-15 optics and fold flat when not in use. Offset models work with magnified scopes.

Q: Do the sights come as a set or individually?
A: You can purchase front and rear MBUS sights separately or as a matched sight set.

Q: Will MBUS sights fit an AK or non-AR rifle?
A: Only if the firearm has a Picatinny rail on the top cover or handguard. MBUS sights require a stable, in-line mounting surface.
